The White House: A Blog Free Zone?

May 3rd 2009 16:46
The New York Post has learned that print reporters posted a sign proclaiming the White House as a "Blog-Free Zone". It doesn't surprise me as many of these major newspapers are on life support with Nancy Pelosi offering to spend your money to keep her cheerleaders afloat. It also isn't just the new media that the White House and the old school reporters are trying to shut out, Fox News has more viewers than the other cable news networks combined but Major Garrett was ignored as punishment for his network not carrying the press conference live. Fox News still won the ratings battle with its regular programming.

Surely most bloggers could have come up with a better question than the Old Gray Lady's Jeff Zeleny served up with “During these first 100 days, what has surprised you the most about this office, enchanted you the most about serving in this office, humbled you the most and troubled you the most?” I've often dreamed of getting to asking public figures hard questions. I guess my first would be "What is the largest percentage of a person's income that should be paid in income taxes? and I would like seventeen followups to that question"

Personally I think that everyone should take the masks and gloves off and behave more like the British Parliament and media. I read liberal and right of center blogs to try and get the true story.

What one question would you like to ask any public official?
