When did CNN & MSNBC stop carrying the Daily WH Press Briefings?
Is it due to the loss of "Ari's the Magnificent's" presence or, is it that the press started asking more "uncomfortable questions." I turned my TV on for lunch and only C-Span had the Press Briefing on.

Scott McClelland is going to have a hard time when things get rough for Bush. He doesn't have Ari's arrogance and ability to "double talk" while admitting nothing.

2. That's a good question,KoKoO1
It's so easy not to notice some things when there is so much going on. I think the administration decides what the media will be covering from week to week. I haven't noticed alot of talk about nukes in Iraq this week. One think you can count on; news stories like Kobe Bryant will stay on television, on all newschannels until the earth burns.

3. Playing the same tape day after day tends to wear it out.
I guess the White House hasn't sent them a new tape yet.

4. Every Day they were covered on the cables starting after 9/ll.....so
I thought it was odd that there's Judy Woodruff on CNN covering Kobe and Msnbc is just blithering on about something like Kobe. So, this is a change, I believe. And, maybe not a good change. White House doesn't want the bad news coming out about them to
be questioned but loved it when their "War Efforts" were going their way..............More whore media decisions to keep "the masses uniformed........

Was the press corpse replaced by real reporters or something?
