Sorry, most threads started with no links or partisan hack links to back up statements are done by right-wingers.
If you want to call Maureen Callahan a liar and her editor that are suppose to confirm it before printing the anonymous source than that is fine. Stop chirping about all of the Bush anonymous sources then.

Are you also calling the WH female aides liars that say that Obama ignores and excludes female opinions?

Obama is Nixon - he is tan, he is rested, he is ready.

An op-ed, abbreviated from opposite the editorial page (though often mistaken for opinion-editorial), is a newspaper article that expresses the opinions of a named writer who is usually unaffiliated with the newspaper's editorial board. These are different from editorials (which are usually unsigned and written by editorial board members) and letters to the editor (which are submitted by readers of the journal or newspaper).

Opinions are much like rectums, almost everyone has one.

Do you have a link to back up your unsupported claim that most threads started with no links or partisan hack links to back up statements are done by right-wingers?

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.
I don't think I'd be making "simple" comments, since my point obviously went flying right over your head, and you just made it again for me.

You've put out a nice little list of conservative AND mainstream press that has a problem with Obama--not just conservative press. Bob Woodward is an editor with the Washington Post. Lanny Davis might work in conservative media from time to time, but he's a Democrat. Jonathan Alter is a contributor for NBC and (gasp) MSNBC. The conservative media you've listed are FOX, CBN, and the Daily Caller. The tea party spent the entire last election screaming and yelling that the MSM was biased in favor of Obama, but--golly gosh--based on your own information, that relationship doesn't seem to be so cozy, does it? Ann Romney just blamed losing the election on the press. Which way is it? Are they fawning all over him or is it adversarial? As I said before, you don't get it both ways.

The claims the OP is making are once again, undocumented BS, just as the claims that the press just LOVED Obama were the same kind of crap. The press just wants to do their job and get a story. You tea party nuts have to turn everything into a conspiracy theory and it's getting really old--the craziest part is that when one side doesn't work, you just flip it to the other and pretend like it actually makes sense. I'm GLAD the press tangles with the president from time to time, because if they weren't, they wouldn't be doing their job.

Your point had no intellectual merit.

I said some media members accused the WH of intimidation.

You respond that someone else who isn't me...claims that the entire media loves Obama...therefore me and the someone else are both wrong. This is called a strawman argument that you just made.




P.S. Lanny Davis publicly supported Obama's election. He says he was intimidated by White House.

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.
I'm still waiting for the left to prove Clarence Thomas or Herman Cain did anything wrong?

I think the left just made up stuff about them because they don't like black folk.
