P.J. Salvatore at Big Journalism, posted a dramatic video of ABC NEWS reporter Jake tapper challenging the White House Press Secretary, Jay Carney, regarding: “agressive Journalism.”
Says Salvatore:
“…This, this is how the press should behave with the administration, with any administration, with any politician. Adversarial. Our administration shouldn’t reverse this role with the press and go a step further by punishing them for it. An abridged free press compromises one of the country’s greatest strengths…”
While the exchange between Tapper and Carney is adversarial it is most certainly not hostile. However, the superbly interesting anecdotes available in the video, specifically the facial antics of National Public Radio’s Mara Liasson, who appears in the background, speaks volumes about how fellow journalists respond in such situations.
What does this say about today’s “fourth estate?”

Really–to see a current media reporter actually involved in challenging something the White House is ‘providing’ for our enlightenment is phenomenal!! Way to go, Jake.
Typical obummer administration lacky, praises media for aggressive reporting , they report about repressive governments in the middle east , and north Africa ( predominately muslim countries ) the countries are now governed by leaders who believe sharia law is the only law . I think michelle obamy should wear wear a veil and a buqua to cover up her fat ass
The answers given at the press conference were never answered . ” Freedom of speech ” no longer an American right if you speak out against the great unifier
