This time it's the media, the same profession that had so many of its members shamelessly in the tank for the Messiah during his campaign, that have been discarded as useless to him now that the election is over.
According to ABC News, the White House media pool was barred from covering Obama's meeting and photo-op with the Lady Huskies championship basketball team on April 27, but not to worry: The event was covered by Obama TV (cute and appropriate term coined by Jake Tapper), complete with their own professionally designed logo:
So much for that new-found "transparency", eh?
The pool complained mightily but to no avail, according to Tapper.
Ah, nothing like preventing news reporters from covering a legitimate news event, so that you can exercise complete editorial control over all phases of it, and they're won't be any irksome questions to answer that aren't on the agenda.
Pravda and TASS during the Soviet era would be so proud.
