Press No Longer Believing Claims That Obama's Administration is the "Most Transparent In History"
— Ace

Comically Evasive Mouthpiece Jay Carney attempted to claim that it was perfectly normal to claim an event was "private," and thus no press was permitted, and yet also send a White House propaganda photographer there to take pictures to be distributed publicly via social media and OFA emails.

One reporter insists that the Obama Administration is less transparent than the Bush Administration. Her colleagues seem to agree with her claim.

Carney's claim is that the Internet-- the "transformation" of the news by the Internet -- has forced Obama to engage in deception and propaganda.

No, Jay. It's merely allowed him to do so. And this White House has seized that opportunity with relish.

He goes on to claim that Obama only does this in order to provide "free" pictures to the public -- he doesn't want to force people to buy newspapers, you see.

He doesn't explain why both White House and press photographers can be present at "private" events, so that there will be both a free picture and a picture people have to pay for (by buying a newspaper).

There's a logical reason why he doesn't explain this: It's because he's lying.

Check the video at Mediaite. Worth watching.

Thanks to @johnekdahl.

Maybe Carney-Barker should just be transparent this one time, and tell them that while they can ordinarily be trusted to properly manipulate the news there are instances where the more experienced White House propagandists need to bring a really professional sheen to the reporting.

It's not that the WH Press Corpsemen aren't trusted, or that the WH thinks they aren't good at propaganda, it's really just that sometimes that certain special angle needs the Carney-Barker touch.

32 "One reporter insists that the Obama Administration is less transparent than the Bush Administration. Her colleagues seem to agree with her claim."

However, notwithstanding that realization, she and her colleagues will continue to obligingly strap on their kneepads and deliver sloppy tongue baths to The Won on cue. There is not and will not be any genuinely critical media coverage of Obama, ever.

The relationship of the media to Obama is that of a cult to its founder. It has every single distinguishing characteristic of a classic cult movement. Look at the long history of disgraced cult leaders who still unswervingly commanded their flocks even after the disclosures of sordid wrongdoing. True believers are unswayed by mere factual realities.

49 I don't remember the case exactly, but there was a media circus murder trial that got some amount of press. The media were their usual bleeding-heart rags about it. Then something magical happened. The murderer gave the press corps the finger. All of a sudden the press lost their love for this dude and reported what he'd done in all its gory detail. This dust-up is just the media saying, hey, wait a minute, this affects ME! And when it affects them, then suddenly they lower their big heart-shaped glasses with Obama stencils on the side.

61 Help a moron out would you?

Why is it necessary for fifty press photographers to photograph a press event with all fifty photogs standing in nearly the same spot, all taking nearly the same picture?

OH, right. Copyright. If your photographer takes a picture that is nearly identical to all the others, you can use that picture free of charge in your publication. Otherwise you have to negotiate 'rights' with the media outlet who owns the work of the photographer that captured the image you use.

amiright? If not, then what is it? Every news worthy event you see hundred(s) of photographers all taking the same shot. Kinda like those millions of monkeys pounding on keyboards in the hope of rewriteing Shakespeare's work?

70 Interesting animal model for how concussions can cause depression. Theory is the physical trauma from head injuries activates immune system cells in the brain, which then overreact to later immune challenges and cause inflammation. So you get the initial trauma, but then years and decades later your brain has a perverse inflammatory response to normal colds and flus, doing more damage.

By the time the old workhorse got packed off to the glue factory at the end, I knew what I was and who I was. Orwell managed to make his points so succinctly.

The health director who approved the release of President ObamaÂ’s birth certificate has died in a plane crash, Hawaiian officials said Thursday.

Loretta Fuddy died after the Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft she was travelling on went down shortly after leaving Kalaupapa Airport at around 3:15 p.m. local time (10:15 a.m. ET) on Wednesday.

The other eight people on board were rescued, Richard Schuman, president of Makani Kai Air, told NBC News early Thursday, adding that that there was no indication as to why the plane had crashed.

You're right, this is, on the scale of Obama lies and secrecy, fairly small beer.
But I do think it's a chink in the armor. And I think the press is using this to push (implicitly) a lot of frustrations at the White House about their serial lying.
Yes, they're too On Team Progressive to say such things. So I think they're doing it passively-aggressively.

167 Tom Rice, R-SC, take civil action vs. Pres. Obama for failing to uphold laws. "This resolution allows the House of Representatives to bring legal action against the Executive Branch and challenge recent actions, inactions, and policies." IF it passes, what? Rein him in? Slap on the wrist? As if a resolution would stop the dictator who ignores inconvenient laws. If the point being made is that Obama not only fails to execute laws (impedes enforcement of laws) but that Obama's policies are illegal, and advancing executive "privilege" beyond the point of legislating laws, simply acting as if his whims ARE laws, then impeach the bastard and remove him from office.

168 70 Interesting animal model for how concussions can cause depression. Theory is the physical trauma from head injuries activates immune system cells in the brain, which then overreact to later immune challenges and cause inflammation. So you get the initial trauma, but then years and decades later your brain has a perverse inflammatory response to normal colds and flus, doing more damage. Interesting. http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/12/131209143252.htm ------____ A long while ago I read an article in a Readers Digest about a scientist studying concussions. In his study he dissected a woodpeckers head to see how the bird avoided concussions in spite of repeatedly banging his head. It turned out the woodpeckers brain was protected by a soft cover, which was covered with a hare surface and then a soft surface again. It was interesting, and I have since wondered if that could be applied to helmets. A soft surface hitting another surface would cushion the impact.
