"The White House Makes Us Look Foolish..."

Drudgereport has some quotes from CNN's Reliable Sources which show how clueless the Mainstream Media has become about its own ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM!

Now the White House is using the Press's behaviour to make it look stupid!

What an ingenious trick and of course, you can blame Bush now for making the press look like "awful, whining," and "using the constant press coverage of this story as a wedge..." That's right, the constant coverage is being used "to distract attention from what happened..."

Bill Plante of CBS, whose head will soon be lopped off by Sean McManus if he already hasn't left like John Roberts for CNN, is responsible for the last observation. Here it is in quotes:

On CNN's RELIABLE SOURCES, WASHINGTON POST reporter Dana Milbank fretted that the White House is exploiting the public's growing disdain for the mainstream media. "Of course they succeed,” Milbank said of Bush aides. "The press always looks awful. They will once again make us look awful."

CNN's Candy Crowley added: "The perception is that we're whining."

White House correspondent Bill Plante of CBS agreed.

"The vice president and the White House have both used the constant press coverage of this story as a wedge,” he told RELIABLE SOURCES host Howard Kurtz. "It plays to the prejudices of the people who are predisposed not to like us, and it's one way to distract attention from what happened."

Actually, the pack of fools inside the Beltway is doing a great job of making themselves look silly all by themselves!

Do they have even an inkling on how stupid they look to people who actually work for a living or have to meet a payroll?

Guess not.
