More Stupid Press
March 6, 2006 – 4:43 pmAt the press briefing today: Video at The Political Pit Bull emphasis mine.
Q Scott, while you were gone the Internet reported the President’s statement to Bill Sammon: “I find it interesting that the old way of gathering news is slowly but surely” being - “losing market share. It is interesting to watch those media conglomerates try to deal with the realities of a new kind of world.” And my question first: Considering this presidential statement, when can we expect that what he termed the old and market-losing media will have their reserved seats in the two front rows of this press room reassigned to the new media?
MR. McCLELLAN: Boy, that’s one I don’t really want to open up right now. (Laughter.) I don’t get into book promotions — obviously, you do. But I do look forward to reading that one.
Q Did the President watch any of the Academy Awards for prostitution and sodomy last night?
MR. McCLELLAN: I’m not aware that he caught any of it. I don’t know — I don’t know what you’re referring to, either. Les, I’m going to move on. I just don’t –
Q No, no, just one other –
MR. McCLELLAN: Les, no. I think we’ll stop it at that.
Q He had four.
MR. McCLELLAN: Yes, but –
Q Human events –
MR. McCLELLAN: I’m not going to dignify any more with a response.
What on earth was that all about?
The last questions about the Academy award were by Les Kinsolving. Here is the exchange in his own internet column Hollywood awards prostitution, sodomy
Les likes to bait McClellan in the presidential press conferences. Not sure if the first question concerning changes in the media guard are Les’s but here his take on that subject Bush acknowledges American media revolution
