WH Press Corp laughing along w/Bush at His Refusal To Answer A Real Question....

[Blackhatjack]

... is all the proof you need that the Press is continuing to cover for Bush and has no interest in pursuing the truth about this corrupt ADministration.

At the very least the WH Press Corp is enabling Bush to be arrogant and to refuse to answer questions that the public has a right to put to him.

It is sad to think that the Press played an integral role in breaking the Watergate scandal, and in this scandal the Press is aiding and abetting the criminal conduct of the President.

1. WWWCD?

What would Walter Cronkite (or Ed Murrow etc.) Do?

2. I was watching and trying to figure out what was going on. Yes, they laughed, but

it seemed to me at times it was an embarrassed laughter. I mean, bush just kept grinning at them sometimes, until they just laughed to get him to move on. It was weird.

3. it's all staged, anyway.

* generally knows who's going to ask him what, and has a list of the people that he's supposed to call on to ask him questions. i won't call them journalists- because they aren't.

4. How do they go home at night

and face their own children
knowing what spineless weasels
they were at work all day ?

Don't they realize it's their children's
future they are pissing away
by enabling this awful President ????

5. Imagine What Would Happen If Each WH Presser Asked The Same Question Until Answered....

If the WH Press hung together and asked the tough questions, then they would not have to worry about 'access' being curtailed for not toeing the Bush line.

I am afraid the WH Press is about as corrupt as the Bush Administration since they make the big money, get the on air fame, and it all depends on them having 'access' to the President --and the public takes a backseat.

6. Bush demeans them by calling on them by their first names.

When he points at a reporter and says "Stephen" (or whoever), I'd love it if he/she would point at duhbya and start their question with "Tell us, George".

7. (drunk alert)- as they pry their virtual mouth from his crotch

with a few exceptions-they are complicit in this travesty ...history will not show them in a good light
