A President uses a teleprompter when addressing the press and the country. Really? This is hard-hitting journalism?

:banghead:

4. Where is the teleprompter thing being pushed tonight? I know David Gregory and
Ed Henry mentioned it after the press conference but where else is this being pushed? (I know the meme has been pushed for weeks now on RW sites, but I haven't seen who is pimping it tonight)

15. Isn't NBC and CNN enough. And Mrs. Greenspan was discussing it too.
Needs to be nipped in the bud ASAP, I was trying to accomplish last week with this:

and got only snarky comments.

Let's get to work DU!

8. Oh they got more than that.
That got "he laughs too much", "he does the March Madness thing", he's "boring" (Drudge), he's "trash" (Tammy Bruce), he's angry, and on and on and on...

Oh, journalism? No, they don't have that.

10. That was the very first thing brought up on
Faux Snooze. I normally don't watch Faux, but I missed most of the presser when it was live, and Faux was the only station playing it when I had a chance to watch it. The talking head instantly started talking about the bigger teleprompter in place of the two smaller ones he was using.

Yep, Obama has won.

11. That explains the concern troll
with another OP "wondering" whether other presidents had used teleprompters during a presser, and if so, he concludes, it is indeed a "gaffe." :eyes:

14. Sure, because, you know, he should be using paper notes.
Better yet, parchment.

Wait. I think maybe he could please the "liberal press" and RW bloviators by using CLAY TABLETS IN CUNEIFORM.
