Advice To Candy-Ass Reporters On How To Deal With Bullies
— LauraW

Hold on to your pants- this may come as a bit of a shock.

It turns out, unexpectedly, that the Obama administration is a bunch of mean, reporter bullying d-bags. That whole flareup with Bob Woodward last week was a catharsis that made it easier for President Obama's battered girlfriends in the press to pipe up about it.

Â“I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,Â” says one DC veteran. Â“She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names Â— bitch, c--t, a--hole.Â” He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: Â“They were hemming and hawing, saying, Â‘WeÂ’ll look into it.Â’ Nothing happened.Â”.

"War on Women!" notes Slublog in my email.

This column contains many guffaw-inducing lines, too many to excerpt. It was difficult to read because I was shaking my head the whole time. The hand wringing about their own loss of credibility as an industry -and the concern that Obama's administration has created a "state-run media" on social media- is especially precious.

Once again, like Woodward and Fournier, no one brings any blame to the man himself. Although in any other organization we note that the fish rots from the head, in Obama's blameless presidency, his aides and officials conduct their horrors without his consent or supervision.

If a guy who walls himself up in his house has a brace of vicious dogs guarding his property, do you also assume he doesn't know his dogs bite? Or is it more likely he does know, and that he likes them that way? See where I'm going with this, brave paperboys?

Okay, so here is the cry for help:

None of the White House correspondents who spoke to The Post are hopeful that things will improve. Â“WhatÂ’s our recourse?Â” says one. Â“How do you force them?Â”
Â“The reporters IÂ’ve spoken to who have covered multiple administrations have said this is tighter, more restricted than other administrations,Â” Munro says. Â“They donÂ’t like it. They donÂ’t have the power to change it.Â”

But you do have the power. INVESTIGATE THEM. When they lie to you, or to people on the social media sites, make a public stink about it. Dog them, and they will fear you, and will be nicer to you. It is, after all, your damn job.

It works.
Ask any Republican.

A functioning, healthy press dedicated to finding the truth is so fearsome that it helps prevent as much corruption as it finds. You're afraid of Obama's dogs? Investigate them.

But then, you really can't do that, can you? There's too much of a risk that you'll find Obama culpable for something.

Thanks to Slublog.

4 in Obama's blameless presidency, his aides and officials conduct their horrors without his consent or supervision. They treat him as if he were a special-needs child. The good child-king, innocent and pure, tainted by greedy and corrupt advisers. Except that, to the liberal mind, the advisers aren't that corrupt either. Because, Democrat.

6 The young reporter could just shank the guy the next time she sees him. That always sends a clear message.

7 I've basically decided the best strategy is this: Have a dossier on as much of the media as you can. If you get interviewed, attack them. Bring up something they said or did in the past. Some gaffe of theirs. Put them on the defensive. We can beat Democrats easily, it's the media we must destroy.

Bullies hate people who fight back. You may get your ass kicked once or twice, but eventually it's no longer worth the cost for them to continue to bully you.

These reporters aren't upset that the administration acts this way. They're upset that it's doing so towards them.

25 If you have a young subordinate (man or woman, really) who is being treated this way by someone they have to deal with professionally, and your response as a manager to the offending third party is basically "do that again, and I'm gonna tell on you," rather than standing up for your subordinate and saying "I'm going expose you for the piece of shit you are" and following through -- what kind of person are you?

Not a good one, for sure.

31 I hate to go all tinfoil hat but I suspect this is an attempt to rehabilitate themselves from their perfidy of lies, obfuscation and self censorship that got Obama elected.

They see the polls and the newsies ain't too respected these days. So they'll trot out the "we was abused" scenario. Then they'll claim to be going after him but slowly and without much affect.

Lo and behold they will suddenly realize that they are the investigators of the people and by god they have to do their duty regardless of their personal like for the President but they have to be the loyal opposition.

Just in time for a Republican presidency of course. They'll figure everyone who cares will just ignore that they share a responsibility for where we are now and the state of the economy.

Let's not let them get away with this. Let's try and elect at least someone who's not in love with their public persona and believes that the press are just doing their job.

They're doing a job alright; a hit job. Any Republican who doesn't understand this doesn't deserve to be elected. or Re-elected for that matter.

They are using the media that is artificially priced out of reach of the layman's reach were he inspired to buy in to get their preference elected...

this is a more onerous media than the Soviet one because the peasants in the soviet union knew that they were being lied to by housepets of tyrants and assholes...

I think there are two things at work here.

1. The 'press' generally agrees with Obumble and his clown-car administration, and accept the gentle reprimands from them with the grace, and poise that only a truly convinced useful idiot is capable of.

2. There's one Woodward, and tens of thousands of nameless nobodies out there, that are easily cowed by their employers. I'm pretty sure getting your TV station, Paper, or other news organization disinvited from Obama's Self Love Demonstrations is not exactly 'career enhancing'.

116 Â“The reporters IÂ’ve spoken to who have covered multiple administrations have said this is tighter, more restricted than other administrations,Â” Munro says. Â“They donÂ’t like it. They donÂ’t have the power to change it.Â”

The question, here, is who doesn't have the power. See, I suspect the people interviewed for the story really don't. I suspect they'd find themselves out of jobs if they did what would be useful for stopping this crap. I bet their bosses are just fine and dandy with the current arrangement.

Of course, Lauraw is correct that the media has the power in general, but I suspect these specific reporters don't really.

OTOH, it's not impossible for a reporter to make a living free-lance. So there's that option, too.

Â“I had a young reporter asking tough, important questions of an Obama Cabinet secretary,Â” says one DC veteran. Â“She was doing her job, and they were trying to bully her. In an e-mail, they called her the vilest names Â— bitch, c--t, a--hole.Â” He complained and was told the matter would be investigated: Â“They were hemming and hawing, saying, Â‘WeÂ’ll look into it.Â’ Nothing happened.Â”.

Would the reporterette have a potential lawsuit against her paper for its facilitating a hostile workplace?

Obviously her boss has no problem with her being called the "vilest names Â— bitch, c--t, a--hole.Â”

Go ahead and sue the bastard and his newspaper. If he will not support you and go to war with the misogynist government paid bastards on your behalf, he should have no problem with your lawyer trodding all over his backside too.

187 Not only did that not happen, but the president had a truly disturbing habit of funneling major foreign-policy decisions through a small cabal of relatively inexperienced White House advisors whose turf was strictly politics. Their primary concern was how any action in Afghanistan or the Middle East would play on the nightly news, or which talking point it would give the Republicans. The Obama administration's reputation for competence on foreign policy has less to do with its accomplishments in Afghanistan or the Middle East than with how U.S. actions in that region have been reshaped to accommodate partisan political concerns.

188 "But then, you really can't do that, can you? There's too much of a risk that you'll find Obama culpable for something." Badda Bing!

189 No, the press is giving our beloved President room to work without crowding Him. He must have the space with which to craft the progress of humankind.

Modern "journalists" think "investigative reporting" means, "Harass business people, some of whom are legitimately shady, and get them shut down." Harass government? Pfft! That's just silly!

191 Michelle should just shut the hell up. She's the effing First Lady, nothing more, nothing less. Remember all the Liberal abuse heaped Laura Bush's way? Yeah, we need to remind Michelle, and the Press, of that. When her house is in order, she can start nagging the rest of us.

As for the Press -- sucks to be you, doesn't it? To quote Angel, "I just can't seem to care."

You fuckers got him elected and re-elected. You fuckers covered for him for every racist, incompetent, or Marxist thing he did. You fuckers let him do to others (and you did it yourselves) what he's now doing to you.

You fuckers OWN this. Aside from Sharyl Atkinson, the rest of you on the national level can sleep in this ever-so-uncomfortable bed you made. And when you think you have the balls to criticize a Republican President (if we ever have free elections again), I and hopefully many, many others will be there to remind you how fucking unprofessional you were for eight years -- every damn time you step out of line and editorialize.

Report. The. Facts.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Oh, boo to the hoo.

White House: No 'set price" to meet with Obama

Story's at Politico, so they get no link from me. It's linked over a Drudge if you must click.

..."But, again, any notion that there's a price for meeting with the president is simply wrong," [Carney] added.

Carney's comments followed critical weekend editorials from The New York Times and The Washington Post. Major donors will get spots on an advisory board that will have regular meetings with the president, "behavior that has become all too common in this town and carries more than a whiff of influence-peddling," the Post editorial board said.

The Times was more blunt, writing that a spot on the advisory board "is nothing more than a fancy way of setting a price for access to Mr. Obama."...

Cry me a fucking river. Goons.

194 Obama is the BULLY IN CHIEF
His junkyard dogs don't even get behind the chain link fence unless they can follow the model .

<blockquote>Barack Obama and Me
Comments (0) By Todd Spivak Wednesday, Feb 27 2008

It's not quite eight in the morning and Barack Obama is on the phone screaming at me. He liked the story I wrote about him a couple weeks ago, but not this garbage.
During his seven-year tenure in the Illinois Legislature, Obama wrote an occasional column for the Lakefront Outlook community newspaper where I worked. In 2004, during his U.S. Senate bid, I profiled Obama for the Illinois Times.

Months earlier, a reporter friend told me she overheard Obama call me an asshole at a political fund-raiser. Now here he is blasting me from hundreds of miles away for a story that just went online but hasn't yet hit local newsstands.

It's the first time I ever heard him yell, and I'm trembling as I set down the phone. I sit frozen at my desk for several minutes, stunned.

196 Maybe the dems are outsourcing press communications to libtrolls on youtube, etc. Or, they just want to put reporters in their binders.

197 The media whores don't like it when Obama and company pimp-slap them. But do they do anything about it? . . . No, they like being Obama's whores.

198 They are cowards. Our press corp is too busy kissing the obama admin's butt to really do anything real investigating. They are nothing but sycophants. It's so sad and such a disservice to the American people.

199 The majority of the political's imprisoned in the gulags believed the same bullshit.. If Our Leader - knew this was occurring he would put a stop to it immediately and punish those responsible.

Katha Pollit of the Nation: "The people who attacked Clinton on Monica were prissy and ridiculous, but let me tell you it was no fun, as a feminist and a woman, waving aside as politically irrelevant and part of the vast rightwing conspiracy Paula, Monica, Kathleen, Juanita."

They used to haggle the price, now they just complain that their john beats them.
