Letters to WH Press Corps
Edited on Tue Jul-12-05 11:56 AM by melissinha
It is my suggestion that we write positive supportive letters to the White House Press Corps for their questioning of Scott McClellan yesterday... Catch more flies with honey!

Can anyone provide me or help me obtain the names of the Press Corps Reporters that grilled Scotty???

Here's my good old college try:

Dear ***,

I would like to congratulate you for attempting to get an acknowledgment from Scott McClellan with respect to his remarks regarding the Valerie Plame affair in 2003. I encourage you to continue to do so, and would ask that you find more information regarding the conversation between Robert Novak and Karl Rove. I don’t know about you, but I expect for all White House Staff members to be aware of intelligence protocol and how to "speak about" those who serve in the CIA. Please don’t let Mr. Rove’s lawyer explain away Mr. Rove’s culpability with a matter of semantics. Furthermore, the faulty logic presented by Mr. Rove’s lawyer still does not preclude him from culpability in this case. It also begs the question that if Karl Rove had “carelessly” outted Joe Wilson’s wife, one could ask if he could have carelessly revealed the name of other CIA agents. Oh yeah, how about linking this to say the Downing Street Minutes and the now evident lack of connection between Iraq and Al Qaeda (which prompted these individuals to out Mr. Wilson's wife in retaliation for his expression of the truth).

In case you haven’t noticed, there’s a multitude of material for you in the White House, the American Public WILL eat it up. Sure makes you long for the days when the only problem was whether or not the President lied about cheating on his wife.

Sincerely,

Melissa v

1. I sent emails to...
David Corn, who you don't have to worry about anyway. And David Gregory for his ferocity yesterday. Lets see what happens today.

4. mediamatters.org
I sent a general email to NBC News that I had gotten off media matters with the subject Re: David Gregory. He probably didnt get it, but maybe his bosses will.

5. since we're the activist corps...don't you think SOMEONE here should
be able to help us get the names/addresses of the guys in the WH corps who showed they had some spine yesterday?

I agree with the concept of writing them. Not just David Corn, but all of them. So far the only names I've seen here are Corn and Gregory. More? Ideas where to look?

7. I used to have a link to a site that listed
email addresses of reporters, television & cable, etc. I can't find it & I've just spent 30 minutes searching with no luck. Hopefully someone here will know where it's at.

10. here's one.
It is the one FAIR uses. I think they're some right-wing nut case & it would be really funny if we used their list.

you need to play around with it & I'm not getting exact email addresses for an individual (say David Gregory). I'll keep looking.
