Woops so who 'blabbed' ??

But not this week.

A group of black bloggers and journalists from outlets like Essence and BET were invited to the White House on Monday for a half-day of policy briefings by the president’s advisers. The White House provided the journalists with an agenda that spelled out the ground rules: the first half of their briefings was to be on background, meaning they could report any information they learned but not attribute it to any specific official; the second half was off the record entirely.

This and the comment the other day "They are relying on the black vote to stay home" really has me shaking my head.

A great uniter?

"Off the record" briefings by the government (who are supposed to be accountable to the public by default and at all times) have got to be the stupidest idea ever. The leak serves them right.

If its "Off the record" why tell a f-ing journalist!

That's like telling a crack addict where to get the cheapest drugs but then telling them not to go there its only for you! :roll:

Presidential administrations have been dictating what is on and what is off the record, as well as regulating quoted sources for decades. The administrations of Bush 43, Bush 41, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Ford, Nixon (clearly) and even Ronald of Tampico have done this.

They called meetings with splinter fragments of the media to give them marching orders too?

The Bush administration frequently catered to FOX News. Par for the course in the modern political media.

Fox News commentators used talking points supplied by the Bush administration, so yes, that's exactly right. If you think that White House management of the media is anything new, you're mistaken.

Any of them ever dictate it based on the reporters skin color?

Doesn't matter. Media management is media management, be it the black media, the Jewish media, the internet media or the (insert group here) media.

Yes. Presidential administrations cater to the press of specific ethnic backgrounds all the time. Now that the left is in power, the right is suddenly rife with righteous indignation; an inversion of the action from several years ago. It is as if, despite the fact that they do the same things, each side so fervently believes themselves to be morally superior.

SteamWake 10-14-10 12:32 PM
Be all that as it may it is very intriging to see the left turn upon itself.

No there is something quite different here.

There's never anything new or different in politics. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss; so it has been, so it shall ever be. And the band played on.
