Comments on: When Reporters Rise For The President

[just2cynical]

Really, this explanation is just poor. Try again

[alexvagirl]

The Republicans hate excessive gov't power because of taxation and regulation. The Democrats hate gov't power because of the excessive probing of thought and prosecution of crime (or terrorism). Neither are wrong. But with regard to use of gov't force during time of war, perhaps a good analogy would be the old law school scenario of the fact that it is quite acceptable to use a shotgun to kill someone when you are home when there is an intruder who has entered your home in an attempt to commit a horrible crime.....but it is not acceptable to kill them with a shotgun rigged to go off when you are away in order to prevent a property crime. In other words, some things in regular criminal law depend upon the circumstances, why should it be different if we are surprised by an attack against our country where there is every evidence that there are others poised to do the same? Maybe that interrogation must be more rigorous due to the potential impending deaths for which you, a pubic servant or elected official, will be held accountable, having not done everything in your power to prevent the follow-on?

It would have been better to let the story die off rather than provide an implausible piece. If the author could find a video showing the press corps giving President Bush the same respect they gave to President Obama it would quiet the critics. Without such evidence, the press corps' explanations are meaningless.

Mr. Knoller:

You're not a journalist. You're not a reporter. You're a stenographer and sycophant for the Democrats. You have ZERO credibility. Even IF your explanation is legit, it means nothing because everyone already knows you all are nothing but lapdogs. If you only knew how little folks paid any attention to what you say. You're laughable.

Look mark, let's not mess around. You are making excuses for you and your colleagues. The fact is most of the media are so far up Obama's rear that only their feet stick out.

And anyway the feet tingle too.

Don't take it personally, but I hope CBS closes down and I hope you lose your job since CBS (and you) are no longer professional reporters and media types, but rather propagandists for Obama and his shaky tax dodging administration.

[GeorgeOrwellSays1984IsNow]

Most of the White House Reporters are a bunch of small minded liberal jerks who have been slobbering all over themselves since Obama was nominated. They jump up when they see Obama because that "tingly feeling" runs up their leg.

Mr. Knoller,

That explanation is only something that our DOTUS, Dog of the United States, would sniff at and most likely swallow.

Hope the "tank" keeps you nice and warm....
