Help with WH press corp response to Obama and Clinton

[grumpyduck]

Okay, I need a little help from some of you knowledgeable folks...

I received a forwarded email from a Republican friend about Sarah Sanders being named FrontPage Mag's person of the year for her role in the media wars, i.e., standing up to the press. The implication seems to be that the press has been overly aggressive and partisan.

As far as I've been able to tell over the years, the press asks tough questions. That's their role. And they do it with everyone. So I'm looking for instances (documented instances) where the WH press corps was "equally aggressive" with previous presidents, especially the Democrats. I don't know if there's anything out there, but I want to say "something" to my friend about it.

And please... no comments about being friends with a Republican. We go back a long way before we had any interest in politics.

1. "FrontPage Magazine is an online right-wing political website,

edited by David Horowitz and published by the David Horowitz Freedom Center.” (Source: Wikipedia)

Who gives a fuck what they think? News flash: Right-wing rag fetes right-wing shill.

Curious thing to solicit input about.

2. Thank you

I don't give a fuck what they think either... I just want to send my friend something to the effect of, "dude, did you ever hear about..."

3. Your friends opinion won't change, no matter how much evidence presented

I would go with just telling your friend exactly what was said above - the magazine that gave the award is a right wing magazine, very partisan.

Other than that, don't waste your time going down the rabbit hole. repubs love to fight and don't care about facts.

7. Merlot's right. Facts don't matter to these people. Shame does (with some of them)

So reply saying that the ARMY has said that Russia attacked us, and the NAVY has said that Russia attacked us, and the MARINES has said that Russia attacked us, and AIR FORCE has said that Russia attacked us, and the freaking COAST GUARD has said that Russia attacked us, so maybe Sarah Sanders ought to stop aiding and abetting the enemy?

4. The problem here is that it's not reasonable to ask the press...

... to be "equally aggressive," when neither Obama nor Clinton were "equally outrageous." Let's not fall into that trap.

6. Okay, thanks everyone.

You convinced me. No point in bothering.
