the *other* side should not be denegrated by the President (or his
mouthpiece) who is *always* accountable to Americans, even if they
disagree.

I watch most all these press conferences & I don't care what the
questions are, to me most are legitimate & should be answered in the
best manner possible. While *either* side (one side leaning media) will
play their *trap* gotcha question games it's unfair to show discontent
for one & not the other, well, showing *any* discontent I find to be
inexcusable. Even though "we won" as Pelosi put it, they are *STILL*
accountable to that other 1/2 (or little less) of the country that
didn't vote for them.

In his response to Ed Henry's question:

The President joked, ?Well, I didn?t know you were the spokesperson for
Mitt Romney.?

I'm mostly using these links for the *video* maybe not so much for the
analysis.

----------------------------------------
I don't consider Ed Henry journalist.

Doesn't matter does it?

The *issue*, or my observation, is the *treatment*, not whether he's
considered a journalist or not. I don't agree with it, I don't like it,
and I wouldn't like it either if Republicans were doing it.

--------------------------------------------------

No, it does matter. The question should have been "critics say...". And it
does matter that everybody at FNC works Rupert's political agenda. Every
employee of Rupert is right wing. Does that seem statistically possible to
you? Ed Henry is a right wing partisan - a rightwing courtesan.

If that's the case than it is *fair* to say that liberal leaning media
is *guilty* of the same partisan tactics, to deny that is very
unrealistic.

As I've always said, it's sad that we have to have the *filtering*
mechanisms in place with a lot of this partisan bullshit. But, I still
stand behind my position that when asked a question, NO MATTER who
proposes it, should be treated with some type of respect, especially
*our* representatives, whether I voted for them or not.
