White House Correspondents' Association: Daily Caller heckler 'discourteous' [View all]

Last edited Sat Jun 16, 2012, 01:41 AM - Edit history (2)

The president of the White House Correspondents' Association has called today's "rude interruption" of President Obama by a Daily Caller reporter "discourteous," but said that the Daily Caller's status as a member for the White House in-town press pool is something that would need to be discussed by the WHCA board, of which she is a member.
"It was discourteous. It's not the way reporters who cover the White House conduct themselves," Caren Bohan, the current WHCA president and White House correspondent for Reuters, told POLITICO today, shortly after DC reporter Neil Munro shouted a question at the President while he was delivering remarks in the White House Rose Garden.

(IMHO, 'discourteous' is putting it mildly.)
