Who wants to sit that close to Family Guy
Gibbs , who has more chins than a Hong Kong phone book ?

“Even in these difficult times, as many other news organizations are forced to cut back, NPR routinely represents the radio pool on trips other news organizations cannot take”

Perhaps that’s because “other news organizations cannot take” taxpayer dollars.

Give the seat to the left side of Amy Goodman’s face.

Whoever sits there : Keep track of how many times Gibbsy says “First and foremost ”.

They will probably give it to thre geezers (fox) and they wonder why younger people are turning to other news sources.

Gibbs will soon be a real secretary , getting coffee for Podesta at CAP . If he’s lucky. Obie will send this inept cracker packing .

Yeah. Give it to the cool kids who crack jokes in the back of the class! Of course, it’s probably lost on you lefties that you basically own the white house, congress and the media. Fight the power!

Okay. Okay. The right side?

sean, it sounds like you’re lost in the sixties with your buddy Glenn oh wait, the eighteenth century. The good news is with the geezers is its just a matter of time and they’ll be all gone.

Gibbs is a smarmy , unfunny , two-legged Cinnabon of a doofus who has no respect for the reporters or the citizens of this country . He should be ashamed of his behavior and his associates in that cabal of criminals in the People’s House . In case you can’t tell , I’m not a big fan of this 40 watt bulb of a clod . no offense .

I doubt he’s a big fan of yours either. In fact, I doubt he gives a shit what you think of him.

I don’t agree that an outfit relying so heavily on taxpayer dollars should even be covering the federal government in any capacity. It’s a huge conflict of interest.

Yea lanquigirl, since fox is owned by a non American they should be sitting there, but then again you hate this country as much as murdoch so i guess no suprise.

The way you treat us reporters in the briefing room ,Robert . Have you no sense of decency , sir ? Chuckie T.

And quit leering at Savannah . You’ve got no shot . And neither do I . Chuckie

“The way you treat us reporters in the briefing room ,Robert . Have you no sense of decency , sir ?”

In what would surprise media critics outside Washington, many reporters don’t much like Obama or his gang, either. They accurately perceive the contempt with which they are held by his White House, an attitude that undoubtedly flows from the top. Insults and blustery nonresponses, F-bombs flying, are common in how West Wing aides speak to reporters.

NPR isn’t even a real news organization. There is absolutely no yelling at all. How can it be a real news organization without yelling?

And 68 is the year I was born, not the year I graduated from high school. Not sure what Beck has to do with anything. For the umpteenth time: I think he’s a clown.

Well, people in hell want ice water.

Sean68 … you are obviously a rational, independent-minded person who doesn’t easily fit into the cookie-cutter ideology of either side of the political spectrum. You are able to simultaneously criticize the liberal media and a conservative sacred cow like Beck. In other words, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!!111 The only thing WORSE than a GUTLESS LIB HACK is someone who REFUSES to take sides in this WAR for the very FUTURE of our Once Proud Republic!!11 Either pick a SIDE or start DUMBING DOWN your witticisms – preferably BOTH!!!!1

That’s gold, Karl! Gold!

You continue to be the biggest cretin on Mediaite.

You have yet to comment on an article; you just come in withe your pathetic, sophomoric personal attacks.

How many angels can dance on your head?

Really? Who? It can’t be Rupert Murdoch, he’s an American, who apparently hates this country enough to become a citizen of it. .

With all the mea culpa’s going around from the old network & print media for not covering the panther/DOJ story, it’s pretty apparent that Fox IS today’s new Mainstream Media, and should get the seat!

After all, most people turn to Fox for real news, not ‘news’ edited to propagandize Progressives’ interests!!
——————————————–

Progressives, how does it feel since “The One” was annointed…..to see your political & ideological world getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller?!?!

LOL!!

NPR has as much of a right to petition for that seat as any other media outlet. I’m sure others have issued just as passionate arguments. I’m sorry, but this isn’t news.

“NPR isn’t even a real news organization”

Correct. It’s a real leftwing news organization.

They should just leave Helen Thomas’ seat alone.

Like this?

If the right forces us all to either defend Wright or tear him down [reporting the facts apparently not being an option - ed], no matter what we choose, we lose the game they’ve put upon us. Instead, take one of them — Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.

I know! Let’s call it “Urinalism”.

A must-read for conservatives. The Daily Caller, which outed Dave Weigel, has released transcripts showing how the leftists on Journolist, after watching a George Stephanopoulos interview with Sen Obama in which he asked , “Do you think Reverend Wright loves America as much as you do?”,
collaborated to kill stories about Jeremiah Wright. Some examples:

“In one instance, Spencer Ackerman of the Washington Independent urged his colleagues to deflect attention from Obama’s relationship with Wright by changing the subject. Pick one of Obama’s conservative critics, Ackerman wrote, “Fred Barnes, Karl Rove, who cares — and call them racists.”

“Chris Hayes of the Nation posted on April 29, 2008, urging his colleagues to ignore Wright. Hayes directed his message to “particularly those in the ostensible mainstream media” who were members of the list.”

Thomas Schaller, a columnist for the Baltimore Sun… In a post with the subject header, “why don’t we use the power of this list to do something about the debate?” Schaller proposed coordinating a “smart statement expressing disgust” at the questions Gibson and Stephanopoulos had posed to Obama.

Journolist members signed the statement and released it April 18, calling the debate “a revolting descent into tabloid journalism and a gross disservice to Americans concerned about the great issues facing the nation and the world.”

NPR news, the closest thing the USA has to NEWS.

Having commercial sponsors and a profit motive definitely skew the direction in which a “news” organization tacks.

NPR has been around a lot longer than FOX. Why should FOX get the seat and not NPR?

Yes, no conflict of interest at all when a news organization, for example, is promoting gold, saying it is a good investment, and then breaking away to a Goldline comercial.

Gibbs won’t be in today . He’s parasailing in Europe .

Is it a conflict of interest when a network says sales are up at Ford and then runs a Ford ad? The TeeVee is not a party to your business transactions. It has no interest in them. But everybody has some skin in NPR’s game. We own it.

So naturally we want the news organization we own to be front and center.

Yes, it causes them to be what people trust and want to watch moreso than their competitors. Where having the government run it makes it all objective. Look how well Pravda worked out!

I’d rather we didn’t own one, but if we’re going to, it ought to be as unbiased as humanly possible. A man can dream, right?

Thanks for the morning laugh. LOL

Who does Helen Thomas suggest to take her seat? Who can fill her shoes? I truly miss her courage to ask what we want to know. Was not aware NPR did not already have a correspondent at the White House. NPR is a major unbiased source of news.

Do you people not realize that NPR is funded by donors, NOT the government?

“Public funding accounts for 16% of the average member station’s revenue, with 10% of this coming in the form of grants from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting…”

I’d rather have 16% of my funding come from government than 100% from big business.
