"So this guy's arguing that "the media" at large is bitching as much about lack of access as they did during Bush43? It doesn't seem to be on that scale yet, to me."
Some are. As stated before, reporters seem to be an unhappy lot. Maybe they label every administration that comes in as the most secretive. It gives them something to bitch about. "And it wasn't 'the media' for me, so much as watching Snow (iirc) be all arrogant. The attitude wasn't just 'screw you, media', it was like 'and you too, American public!'." I don't think anyone can do the job unless they are condescending. It's all about controlling the spin on the fly. Not an easy task. It takes someone with the personality of an ass. "Doesn't seem like The Media has labeled Obama's administration as the most secretive of all time though." Helen Thomas has made the accusation. "I wonder what's different? Blame The Media?" Nothing. It's politics as usual. Promise something and do the same damn thing everybody else did. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:319727 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
