It was a hostile hectoring that revealed much of the mainstream press for what it has become: the opposition party. my first reaction was shut down the white house briefings. If these reporters cannot control their emotions they do not deserve to be treated as professionals. unfair to those who do behave as professionals. Maybe a code of conduct? I'm sure Rove could handle selective news releases... They could still have interviews with guests but no questions or only approved journalists who have demonstrated some self control in asking questions. These reporters took the position that Rove outed her that has yet to be proven. yet they have him convicted.

That, to the press, smacks of stonewalling. And if you think such a reaction is unique to the Bush administration, you've forgotten about all these tense briefings in which reporters smacked around McCurry and Lockhart as they dueled over various Clinton scandals. This is true. It is stonewalling, and they did get mad at Clinton for lying to them.
