The simple hilarity of a show on CNN called "No bias, No bull" is amusing on it's own, but Ms. Brown took Mr. Obama to task for brushing aside the media.
Obviously, President-Elect Obama isn't reacting favorably to tough questions, he hadn't been asked any for the 19 months he ran for President. (With the exception of his visit to Bill O'Reilly)
Maybe if Ms. Brown and her colleagues at CNN, MSNBC, NBC, CBS, ABC et al had prepared President-Elect Obama by actually posing tough questions to him during the campaign, he wouldn't be so resistant to their questions now.
Here's a little excerpt of what Brown said last night:
Mr. President-Elect, reporters, we hope, are going to ask you a lot of annoying questions over the next four years. Get used to it. That is the job of the media, to hold you accountable. But this isn’t just about the media. It’s about the American people, many of whom voted for you because of what you said during the campaign, and they have a right to know which of those things you meant and which you didn’t. Apparently, as you made clear today, you didn't mean what you said about Hillary Clinton. So, what else didn’t you mean? The media is going to be asking, and you were wrong today. Annoying questions are about more than just the press having fun. Annoying questions are about the press doing its job and the people’s right to know.
NOW, the press wants to do it's job. Good thing, we were beginning to wonder.
