Brian Lamb went on the radio this morning to make one final comment on President Obama’s brazen whoppers concerning television coverage of the “reform” process:
We were used as kind of a political football during the campaign. We obviously would cover these negotiations. The only time we’ve been allowed to cover the White House part of it is one hour inside the East Room, which was just a show-horse type of thing…
Lamb is pretty non-partisan, but he added the following comment that could have come from the lips of any conservative:
The American people pay for all of this that goes on in this town. It’s always been my contention…that if we pay for something, and it’s the public’s business, we ought to be able to see how it’s done. It’s just that simple, it has nothing to do with this particular fight right now.
From a political perspective, shutting out C-SPAN is worse than a crime—it’s mistake. Obama and the Dem majority will never survive if they’re dumb enough to anger the establishment media.
And, make no mistake about it, the Pooh-Bahs of the media are angry about this.
