Ditch the whitehouse press corps

When obama got elected in 2008, I said "that's the end of vigorous reporting on the president for four years", and I was right.

When a republican is president, the lib media is practically electric (look up "metaphor" david), full of investigatorial zeal, and skeptical to a fault.
With a leftwinger like obama is in, it's siesta time.

The press conferences for Bush or his reps in the whitehouse press corp room was like watching a shark feeding frenzy - now with obama, it's like a respectful worship service, except for the occasional non-puffball question from Fox and wallstreet journal reporters.

Whoever is the GOP president in 2013 needs to do away with the whitehouse press corps. (Figuratively David, not literally. :rolleyes:) They are an anachronism that dates back to the days when the only mass medium was radio, reporters had to take notes, and then run to a phone to call in their story.

The lib media, still about 90% of the media, act like the permanent propaganda arm of the democrat party - why should a GOP president help them? A more modern arrangement would be a website where any citizen, not just obama's media shills, can ask what they want, and representative questions can be answered by the president.
