Andrea Mitchell is the Chief Foreign Affairs Correspondent for NBC News and she is along on the Obama Publicity Tour to Europe. She is a liberal as you would expect, but apparently it is possible for a 'reporter's pride and principles' to break out of that mold.
On the Chris Matthews program, called Hardball she let loose. The pictures that are being seen from Obama's trips are 'all Obama could have dreamed of." But of course, they should be since they are carefully orchestrated fake images. The images are not from the reporters.
A direct quote from Andrea Mitchell:
"He didn't have reporters with him, he didn't have a press pool, he didn't do a press conference while he was on the ground in either Afghanistan or Iraq. What you're seeing is not reporters brought in. You're seeing selected pictures taken by the military, questions by the military, and what some would call fake interviews, because they're not interviews from a journalist. So, there's a real press issue here. Politically it's smart as can be. But we've not seen a presidential candidate do this, in my recollection, ever before."
A real press issue!
Possibly never before has the press been so sold out on a candidate, and candidate Obama just crapped on them. What next? Will the press continue to look adoringly into his face, or will they say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!
