"Despite all the talk of transparency..." WTF, CNN??

[Connie_Corleone]

First, CNN files a complaint because there was no camera during the second oath of office, even though there were reporters, audio and a photo released of it.

NOW, Knucklehead Ed Henry is complaining because some of the White House meetings are closed to the press!!

WTF! Use some damn common sense, media. Or did you lose it all during the Bush years?

Is CNN going to whine every time Obama has a meeting in his office without the press?

1. I thought it was me, and had I heard him right?

WTF! The president keeps his promise for transparency, but suddenly that means he's supposed to open up every meeting with his staff and cabinet members to the media? Is he crazy?

[Uben]

2. It's a known fact.....

....that CNN has meetings and they do not invite Obama to them. Should he file a complaint?

[BeyondGeography]

3. It's that twit Anderson Cooper's attempt to be edgy

Fail.

8. thank you for making me ALMOST ruin my keyboard by spitting all over it

as I read your post - which just made me laugh out loud... (I was able to finish the sip I just took and swallow it, so destruction was avoided)

Hysterical... Thanks : )

4. And I didn't get my daily intel brief either!

Transparency, my ass! :grr:


:sarcasm:

5. cnn has no street cred on

whether they get to complain about transparency or NOT.

6. It's only going to get worse.

True press colors will be showing soon.

7. Time for the FCC to tighten up those media ownership rules, and break up the media oligopoly.

Too many righttards control too much of our media - it's time they're forced to sell some cable stations, TV stations, radio stations, newspapers, etc. etc. etc.

Maybe that will bring about a true free press...

9. There was audio released? Do you have a link? nt

[firedupdem]

10. I heard that asshole!

Like the press is really going to be invited into meeting discussing the economy and ending the war? They are stupid.

[pot luck]

11. "Barack Obama promised transparency,

yet he didn't allow cameras into the bathroom with him. That's not change we can believe in."

CNN, always "keeping them honest."

[Uzybone]

13. The Obama shitcam

I bet you CNN would broadcast it. Media whores never change.

[shintao]

12. Why not just have alive feed cam 24/7 for America??

They could prolly let the day to day business be shown & known, and have another room for top secret meetings.

Why should you pay CNN to see your own government? Put cams in like Congress has.

14. Cooper had Team Obama Drama, as if Cornyn wasn't the drama queen

[Kaylee]

15. They have no common sense...

It's not like he took the oath in secret, they just didn't want that oath to become the "official" historical oath by video taping it. When the media wants to include video of the President Obama taking the oath of office, they will still have to use the one on the Capitol steps.
