White House Press Corps Disgraces Itself -- Claps

If the White House Press Corps got any closer to the people they cover we they would be exchanging body fluids.

-snip-

First, ask yourself this -- why the hell do White House reporters need their own association? There is no shortage of reporter-clubs and associations they can join if they are lonely -- the Washington Press Club is nice and just down the street, and if they are serious about uncovering the truth I recommend a membership in the Investigative Reporters and Editors Association.

So, there they were Saturday night clapping and laughing at the very people who have spent the last five years trying to gut America’s broadcast media. And, even as laughed at their jokes and the champagne flowed, they were still at it.

-snip-

Every single reporter who attended that dinner Saturday night should all be ashamed of them self. Period.

and the criminal bushgang smirked and sneered and were happy over the control they have of the WHPress, even the ones who get to spend the nite at the WH.

2. they are clapping because they are on the payroll

The big corporations that own the news media outlets pay these assholes handsomely to whore for BushCo.

They they give them a nice dinner and free booze and they get to dress up and act important.

Of course they are clapping. They are the Masters Of The Universe.

3. There is (and has been for a long time) an incestuous relationship...

between the MSM and the power brokers in Washington.

Events like this only serve to highlight the tawdry nature of their connection.

4. Read the WH correspondents' gushing press release at

...and the WH, which prides itself in documenting every public word uttered by the *'s and the Cheney's, has not ONE WORD on the first lady's website. Access a view if the site from link above.

5. I agree wholeheartedly.

These bastards are simply stenographers for the White House. That is a travesty enough.

But what REALLY bothers me is the fact that Americans simply refuse to recognize it.
