The American Spectator

The White House press corps is a joke. They spend their days being fed questions and information from left-wing special interest groups so that they can zing the President and Tony Snow, and they don’t take the time to understand the people and the issues that they cover. How do we know? Why, their White House pool reports, of course. Special thanks to Washington Times reporter Stephen Dinan, who with a fine eye for the important facts filed today’s pool report from Air Force One, and noted that while most folks in Washington and elsewhere were watching the confirmation hearing of Gen. Michael Hayden, the White House press corps onboard was watching … “King Kong.” But you know what? Those press guys will almost certainly have thoughts on Hayden’s performance, and they will certainly expect the President and his his advisers to be on top of every little factoid from the hearing.
