Journalists hit back at Obama 'lecturing'

[Locutus]

Political reporters and commentators are striking back at President Obama, who delivered a speech Monday night that rapped the news media for what he said was superficial reporting and an unwillingness refute untrue statements from political figures.

At a press-freedom awards ceremony in Washington, Obama said the news media was failing to accurately cover Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, and that reporters are too hung up on the popularity of their 140-character tweets.

"There's a man lecturing the media on how to do their business," said MSNBC's "Morning Joe" host Joe Scarborough on Tuesday. "The man who has not sat down for an extended interview with the Washington Post in seven and a half years, and yet gladly submits himself to being interviewed by YouTube stars who sit in bathtubs with milk and Fruitloops."

True, but Walter seems to think this is about the Constitution.

Go figure.

Go figure.

And you seem to think this is about Walter. Go figure.

You're like a jealous guy talking about his ex. Waiting for a contrived reason to 'nonchalantly' bring her up in conversation then talk her down so he can feel good about his pathetic state and situation. Seek help kid.

the media does not tolerate being blamed for 'anything', ever, and they always have the last word.

I've heard it many times, many of the stupid stupid things they ask, and statements they make,

and people they trash and criticize, but if you ever do it to them, you are then trashed for

being either grumpy, or thin skinned or moody or wrong, but they never never ever look at themselves

and admit that possibly they were a bit hasty, and offer an apology, or even an adjustment in their

own thinking.
