Amazing.

[spanone]

1. they 'leak' headlines

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. They get a preview copy

this has been done for quite a bit... since Clinton or was it Bush Senior who started that

[depakid]

3. Even so- how about waiting for the fucking speech before posting the reviews

Sheesh.

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. They did it over the last eight years and during the Clinton Admin

when I became conscious of that

6. Hmm... just listened to the whole speech- and didn't hear the "survive the day of reckoning bit"

Not only that, but how does any responsible reporter ignore the importance of EMPHASIS and DELIVERY?

Guess they much have missed the importance of that bit in communications classes....

7. Newspapers need these reports as soon as possible. Many are released on embargo.

5. they embargo the transcripts until the second Obama starts talkng

but the journalists have them for hours beforehand. They have time to write the reviews, but thewre's a lot of pressure to publish ASAP

especially at the AP!
