Selling an Undesirable Press to the American People is Hard to Do

Selling an Undesirable Press to the American People is Hard to Do The Republicans and CNN management all need to know that it is bad blood for the kind of White House scandals to continue to go on, as it hurts their morale and mostly it hurts the Republican chances to win the election and ultimately it may lead to impeachment. If by complaining that only the press secretary can be on Air Force One, in order to ride in Air Force One, then the reporter has successfully applied a strategy to remove the press secretary and got herself on it. If by repeating other media’s ongoing question, ‘why did press secretary vouch for Rove for his involvement in CIA leak case?’ can get this person into the limelight, and get the press secretary fired, and Rove shuffled to a corner, then this person has wielded tremendous power and posed national security issue, as she is wielding the uncanny power on the President who has the power to determine this country’s foreign policy and many domestic issues. By asking the press secretary whether people in the White House watch CNN, is a way to force people to watch CNN just to avoid the irritating questions. Whose mandate is this that everyone has to watch CNN? By asking Scott McClellan questions that he already answered, forcing him to say "somebody already asked that question, and I already answered it", or "I don't know if you remember this, but I already said it", this shows she is not doing her job by studying the transcripts of the press briefings. It is not the press secretary's job to answer the same question for every reporter, it is instead the reporter's job to know what the press secretary has already announced. To have a CNN derelict female reporter to track the president to cater to his liking, to follow him day and night, domestic and foreign, and have her inside the limousine entourage, not to report but to enjoy the sightseeing with the president in the same group of cars, in the name of reporting but not doing any reporting, but counting on others hard work, and to listen to the President’s lecture facing him, in the first row, and have a running photographer filming the demonstrators and her backup Washington female news reporter on the White House Lawn to cover the ongoing California trip is a ludicrous sham and the earlier it is in the open, and the less muddy, the better, and an imminent calamity can be avoided, including a possible loss by the Republicans and the daily investigation of the affairs, and ensuing lawsuits. Then the citizens will get a reprieve, or a decent life.
