Jeezus, Amanda Carpenter takes the biscuit. There’s something wrong with calling on Nico because he’s a leftist? WTF, conspiracy! The president called on a possibly sympathetic journo. OMG. Bush would never have done that, obviously.

except that howie did ask the really burning question of nico, the one that had to sting milbank like a nettle:

“so, do you think this is all just jealousy on the part of the WH press corps?”

that had to hurt.

schadenfreude is just so deliciously decadent.

Milbank’s wiki entry identifies him as a member of Skull & Bones. Perhaps this connection helps explain the thinness of his folder.

Dana had a “hand in the cookie jar” look when Nico reminded us all of the bathing suit questions. Just like a little kid.

“I did not have texts with that folder…”

Nothing to get. It’s not rational, it’s not defensible.

Journalism prof/expert Jay Rosen often says about American conservatives and the Republican Party, “The base is not reality-based.”

You’re observing the slow revelation that the mainstream corporate media in this country, like the former power to which it cleaved, is also not reality-based. Their business model has been under siege for years — more than a decade, if we want to use the hard numbers — and they are just noticing as they are being laid off and finding their lunch eaten by dirty f*cking hippie bloggers who’ll actually do the hard work of the Fourth Estate.

I really don’t get this snit-fit from the MSM. Why do they think they have the right to dictate to the President about the questions he takes? Just don’t get it. What a bunch of little twits.
