FYI this anonymous "insider" has quite the scoop doesn't he??

The reality is that in any scheduled interview there are groundrules, and parameters as to what can be brought up during the interview..

That is controlling the message/media, and it is what all politicians do..

Very true but wouldn't it be nice if the press pool could ask any question ... somewhat like the old days?

Do not disagree, but in this day and age this applies to just about any interview...

They do the same thing with movie stars, prior to they convey what is ok to ask and what is off limits...

Only when a Liberal brings it up, I get bashed all the time for posting some Hollywood moron on their politics.

Now with the blogs, Twitter and Facebook good old fashioned journalism is gone. Everyone knows they can get their message out on their own on their terms. Not blaming the people blaming the system and the media.

They could kick this story to the front page for all who hide ... we'll see if they do. Right now they need the election advertising revenue so we'll have to wait until November to see if anything changes. Romney is also pulling this crap and he's not even elected.

There was no indication of equality of the two, just a comparison as to how both need to control what is asked..

Thanks for paying attention though..

Yeah, ummm... It's hardly "gone." .... But then, it's up to you the viewer/reader to be able to decipher between real news, and Harry-style news. It's a pretty easy process for me. Are you up to the task? I'll bet you are, but I'm sure it's easier to just "blame the media" as a whole.

Nice cop out post there TP ... people are entitled to their opinion as distasteful as it may seem at times ... even you have yours ... right.

But you've had a harry problem through a few member names ...
oh well ... just you being you ... or would it be you being you people.
