“This is most closed, control-freak administration I’ve ever covered.”

[mountain grammy]

68. Ok, I did read the entire opinion and come to a different conclusion which I hope is permissable.

First, this administration has come under the most brutal and often condescending scrutiny than any other in my memory. President Obama has endured more slings and arrows than even Bill Clinton, and Bill's a good old white guy.
I would have been surprised if the administration didn't circle the wagons. Every single leak, every single statement, every single movement has been criticized and dissected. He bowed to mullahs, he didn't salute the flag, he did salute the flag, he put his hand over his heart, he didn't put his hand over his heart, he not an American in his heart, ad nauseam. It's a wonder any policy was ever discussed amid such nonsense, that our corporate media perpetuated.

Second, I know this author has great credentials, but in my very humble opinion, the corporate mainstream media has become fairly lazy and whiney. Rather than conducting in depth interviews and researching real issues, they whine about no access. Mainstream corporate media reporters like Bob Schieffer lost credibility with me long ago.

Third, I'm seeing an honesty here I haven't seen for a long time. We're a long way from the transparency we deserve, but worse than the past? No way!
