3. It is because the Republicans are masters at the Big Lie:

The biggest lie in regard to the median is that it was and continues to be LIBERAL. Democrats just don't make very good liars or propagandists. The major outlets are corporately controlled, i.e, Republican controlled, propaganda mills. Their lapdogs never darned to question the Republicans because they would have gotten their chicken-shit asses fired. Helen Thomas made it very clear that they were Republican boot lickers.

4. Actually I thought the reporter was a bit rude.

Especially after the Gibbs said that he would find out how to give him the information that he asked for.

Don't confuse "hard nose reporting" for a guy being a bit of a dick.

5. That was not a question, it was a soapbox rant

I'm glad they finally cut him off.

What a jerk.

6. I just got the feeling that he was trying to make an issue out of something...

like he didn't want to hear Gibbs say that he would get him the info. he was seeking.

Was transparency as pertinent? You know, as say, the economic package? Or energy policy? No.

7. Yes, it was impertinent to ask whether this Administration believes in transparency,

since they already stated that they do.

What answer did he expect to hear? No?

8. Jake Tapper of ABC

Is a jerk. This isn't about good, hard-nosed reporting. Its just grandstanding for some ill-defined end.
