Press Tantrum

Seems that others are using the same language as I did regarding the News Meda's tantrum...

Question after question was thrown at White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan… not leading with Iran or some other major issue, but rather, “We’re the White House press corps, so why weren’t we told first???”

The media are doing their best to make an accident on a private hunting trip into a national media controversy. As noted in the Washington Post:

No evidence has emerged to suggest that the shooting was anything more than a hunting accident, but the spectacle of the vice president wounding a prominent Republican at an exclusive Texas ranch has become the punch line for politicians and comedians alike, and has penetrated the popular culture through late-night television.

It has become a “spectacle” because they are making it so. Let’s stop the pouting and temper tantrums and get back to covering REAL news stories. I’m sure the American public would appreciate it.
