86. Gibbs never corrected the reporters asking about criticism from the left
to narrow the field. Not once.

And since he still has his job and has not apologized and since this forms a pattern of public behavior that includes Obama, Rahm and Gibbs, I don't know what to tell you about the "spreading around". It's reasonable, given the statements all three have made, to assume the White House at least is in agreement with them. Not pleasant but reasonable.
