I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,” says one DC veteran. “She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names — *****, c--t, a--hole.” He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: “They were hemming and hawing, saying, ‘We’ll look into it.’ Nothing happened.”
An anonymous source, an unnamed reporter, an unnamed cabinet secretary, no evidence of the email or if the source received it, saw it, or just heard about it second hand. The right wing make stuff up so often nobody believes them when they cry wolf.
And with all the love the media/hollywood had with trying to say the Right hate and demean women, there are plenty of examples like this that they ignore purposely from the left.
I HATE our media and Hollywood, hypcritical, corrupt, lying bastards.

Yet that is all you, the media, and Dems would need to make it a national story. If this had been tied to Romney or a conservative, no matter the evidence it would have been pushed by the media
No not at all--just a reference to what Carney said about Obama's call to Sandra Fluke after Limbaugh called her a ****. In that case Obama called to console her, so in this case perhaps Rush could call to console the reporter. Just a little joke that seems not to have worked.
Actually is somewhat surprising that the WH would feel a need to intimidate the press, since the press has been in the WH's back pocket all along. Just look at the handling of Fast&Furious. This prez has gotten a more compliant press than any I have ever seen, including other Dems such as Carter & Clinton.
I guess that it goes to show that the WH likes to remind them who is the dom from time to time, just in case anybody out there is even thinking of committing journalism.
I'm confused--I thought Romney lost because the press just LOVES Obama, they're in his back pocket, and they spend all their time fawning all over each other. Now they hate each other? Which is it, because I'm about to get whiplash from all the tea party conspiracy theories. You don't get to have it both ways.
The truth is that both positions are just more made up BS coming out of the nutty end of the R party. Nobody listens anymore because if you lie over and over, people assume that everything you say is a lie. Imagine that.
Where did you read that the email was deleted? Did you just make up a lie to protect Obama's administration?
Well since the reporter could not show the email, any intelligent person, that apparently leaves out right wing hacks, would deduce that said email was deleted.

Are you really simple enough to think that the press is a single entity?
FoxNews is not quite MSNBC...yes both distort...but both seek to affirm different beliefs of different viewers.
Team Obama demonized Joe the Plumber for simply asking an unscripted question to a man running for President of the United States. Think about that...what kind of country do we have, where a citizen cannot ask a reasonable question to a person seeking votes for the highest office?
Obama took away privileges from FoxNews previously.
Woodward said the WH tried to intimidate him.
Lanny Davis, former Clinton aide and public endorser of Obama, has come out and said that the WH tried to intimidate him.
Jonathan Alter has now said that the WH treated him poorly after he criticized Obama on MSNBC.
CBN's Brody has said that Obama aides have bullied him when he tried to ask challenging questions...although he adds that the aides feel like it is their job to protect the president.
Neil Munro was demonized for asking an unscripted question.

So all anonymous sources in your book cannot be reported by the media...no whistle blowers either? You realize how many anonymous sources the media smeared Bush with and you probably gleefully chirped about?
You just can't confront that Obama is not perfect.
Please give me a list of Obama's mistakes...lies, hypocrisy, broken promises...

So you believe all anonymous sources as long as they are against Obama correct? Why you bringing up Bush for, he is not president anymore. Thank God.
