Fox News Shutdown! Jay Carney Won't Call on Ed Henry, So He Walks Out of Briefing

[Thom Paine]

Oh my goodness, absolutely correct. I glanced and assumed, my bad. So to reword, "he said...." and that is what I was responding to. I am/was commenting on perhaps current Republicans, not necessarily the entire history of Repubs. Although...., am I wrong in remembering that Nixon had an uphill fight within the Repub legislators regarding the EPA?

I truly do not recall at this time the exact party vote count. There were detractors and supporters on both sides.. I like to be as factual as possible with my statements so I'm hesitant to get into too many details now. Its why I suggested a different thread.. During the '50s and 60's there was a generally unified and popular awakening to the need to clean the industrialized cities (Pittsburgh was one of the extreme cases as an example) ... and things grew from there. In the beginning some of the laws were quite helpful to business even though some heavy costs were to be absorbed over short and long term.

This is too much thread drift... another time I'll be happy to share my view of the good, bad, and ugly of another good idea gone somewhat awry.

A friendly good eve to you, (hon )

Going back to the original subject. Considering most American's do get their news from various television networks it was more than a little unusual to ignore the reporters from those stations. The Title of this thread does leave something to be desired though. It purposefully tries to make it seem like the Fox reporter was specifically ignored

Based on many of his posts, I'm going to guess the M is for Misogynists

No, but close !! :lamo

I thought we might get into some humor here but it seems we are courting trouble... another time..:2wave:

I'm all for ignoring FNC "reporters", and I do use that term very loosely here, but just to be clear... Carney did by all appearance purposefully ignore a specific FNC representative.

Y'know, I don't take offense. Those with little dinkies need their verbal crutches.

This is really funny coming from you. The only one to not be civil in this whole debate. LOL You actually might be on to something.

Good point, though I do question the "only one" aspect. :wink: Though as I read more than one thread, perhaps my memory of all the sleights sort of blur together from one thread to another. I am admittedly in a much more aggressive mood today. Not usual for me, but some days, you just gotta let off a little.

What's with the bolded text. Are you feeling a tad impotent and need to pretend a level of forcefulness? You conservatives are just not happy unless you're bitching people about your victimhood. What a bunch of pansies.

Can't respond to the issue so you attack me. Typical of the Progressive Left. I use bold to differentiate between nonsensical, and infantile retorts. I think that it's the other way around. Who keeps complaining about the Constitution, GOP, and the T-Party.

ROFLMAO. Oh the irony.

But you do agree that the front press row was ignored for those that Carney considered easy pro-Obama boosters. The rest of the chatter in this post was to obfuscate, and deflect from the subject at hand. But that is usual for Left wing detractors.

Talk about your government shutdown. Conservatives would have enjoyed watching liberal TV reporters sputter if President Bush had completely skipped the first row of reporters and picked only friendly reporters, even writers for conservative blog sites. But the media elites would have thrown a major tantrum about censorship -- including Jay Carney in his tenure at Time magazine.

Put the shoe on the other foot, and the liberal media is pretty quiet. President Obama failed to call on TV reporters at his Wednesday press conference, even though he came to The Huffington Post for a shoe-shine question. Then Tommy Christopher at Mediaite pointed out White House press briefer Jay Carney aggressively ignored Ed Henry of Fox News twice at Friday’s briefing, so he walked out:

At Friday afternoon’s long-delayed briefing, Carney had gone through every TV reporter when Ed Henry began to ask his question. He got out “Jay…” before Carney called on The Chicago Tribune‘s [Obama fangirl] Christi Parsons, and as she asked her question, Henry could be seen shaking his head.​

Henry tried again on the next question, and when Carney ignored him again, Henry smiled, got up, and walked out. While Fox News hasn’t always gotten a question at presidential press conferences, this was the first time in memory that a Fox News reporter wasn’t called on at a daily briefing.​

Henry has sparred noticeably with Carney in recent weeks. This probably wouldn’t have happened to Henry if he’d stayed at CNN!

Infantile and Petulant reactions by the Spite House and their minions is quite apparent. Had any of these tirades been performed during the Bush administration the LSM would have been up in arms.

Amateur despots, leading a nation crippled by the state-run public "education" system.

What a crock!!

Conservative do not promote any of that. But hey, darling, if you think you are right, then post me a link or two to justify your bull****.

Here's a "news" story about how the government could mint a trillion dollar platium coin the size of a ballastic missile submarine with the weight of 17,783 tons, or in other words 35,566,000 pounds.

That's definately promoting ignorance and illogical righteousness.

What is really exhausting is conservatives being ignored and dismissed by the Democrats. In effect, Democrats are ignoring and dismissing nearly half the population of the US.

The latest polls show that number to be about 28% and dropping. They are not being dismissed, they are only being treated like the children they act like. Someone has to run a govt. here.
