The Washington press corps, which virtually campaigned for Obama, has its nose out of joint about background briefings. AP’s Jennifer Lovin, one of the most ardent anti-Bush propagandists for the past eight years whined the most:
“We protest in the strongest terms the Obama administration’s frequent use of briefings done on a background basis . . . especially when the same officials briefing often appear ubiquitously on television shows with similar information,” said Jennifer Loven of the Associated Press, president of the White House Correspondents’ Association. She said this was particularly true on a Supreme Court nomination, “when the issue does not involve sensitive material such as national security information.”
As one blogger aptly noted: “Hey, you made the bed. Sleep in it.”
