Media absolutely pissed that Obama dared to have a private party and not invite them.

"Barack and Michelle Obama threw a big party Saturday night—paying for it themselves—and the press is outraged, annoyed, and wounded. See, the president and first lady managed to throw a party at the White House for 500 people, with Prince and Stevie Wonder performing, without the press really knowing about it ahead of time and definitely without the press being invited."

The NYT is pissed:
The Obama-administration has failed on the topic of transparency by Obama failing to make the private life of his family public.

Time Magazine is pissed.

Bloomberg is pissed.

1. He done good then

[Ilsa]

2. I'm happy for them.

Screw the corporate media.

[Volaris]

3. THAT'S their metric for transparency?

That they didn't get told about the House Party like the Cool Kids???
Jesus....
I guess this can be considered proof that what they do is copy Court Gossip, rather than Professional Journalism.

4. And Cheney's

private energy meetings with corporations? Did that hit their fucking radar?

[on point]

5. Nice riposte!! Wonder whatever happened to that giant oil conspiracy

Perhaps they wanted to take over an oil producing country, say Iraq.....

11. We didn't need to take over. The invasion caused oil prices to quadruple. Mission accomplished.

7. It was handled correctly by the White House.

If you invite NBC and NYT, you'd have to invite CNN who'd being along his idiot brother FOX, and pretty soon they'd all be drunk, dancing on the tables, eating all the cheese, standing on the furniture, wearing lampshades, stealing the silverware, and dropping Baby Ruths into the punchbowl.

It's the same reason I don't get invited to these things, but you don't see me pissing and moaning about it.

8. You can come to all my partys Buns_of_Fire

10. Thank you! I'll even save up and bring some decent beer!

And I think I even have a half-box of Baby Ruths left over from my daughter's wedding reception!

9. How does the NYT say this with no hint of irony:

" While he has improved access to some records, the administration has been unusually guarded about the private lives of the Obama family"?

The President isn't public with whats called a "private life". I say good on the President.

[tartan2]

12. Awe poor media BABIES!!

Good job President Obama!

[City Lights]

13. Fuck the corporate media. nt

[Scurrilous]

19. ...

[EV_Ares]

14. The media is going to have to get over the fact that more & more really could care less about them.

When the media gets out of their corporate bubble, becomes what they are supposed to be again like in the past, maybe then they can again become relevant. Screw them.

[underpants]

15. Not one reporter from any news org had ANY idea about this?

Not one? Try getting out of your little kiddie pool once in a while.

[spanone]

16. fuck the press

17. I think this is on his " Bucket List". Who cares if the media is mad. I don't.

18. Sensationalism rules the media

Actual news not so much (unless someone is caught naked, cheating on their spouse, pushed out of the closet, etc).
