I&#8217;ve been looking for a reason to snag it all day, because I like it. A lot. And now Cortillaen has given me a reason with this link he sent us from <a href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2011\/06\/30\/halperins-msnbc-suspension-latest-example-of-white-house-press-tampering\/\">The Daily Caller<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Halperin, a Time magazine editor-at-large, made his remarks at 6:08 a.m. ET, and NBC Universal issued a press release announcing Halperin\u2019s suspension at 9:44 a.m. ET, within an hour of the end of the \u201cMorning Joe\u201d broadcast. The reason for the quick reaction could be because White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called MSNBC management.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe comment that was made was inappropriate,\u201d Carney at the daily press briefing. \u201cIt would be inappropriate to say that about either president of either party.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn behalf of the White House, I expressed that sentiment to executives at the network,\u201d he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Can you imagine how often the Bush White House would have been on the phone to MSNBC during his tenure in the White House? It would have been an eight year-long teleconference. I mean didn&#8217;t someone just say to Obama, &#8220;Well, you know you have been acting a bit like a dick for the last few weeks, sir.&#8221; I wouldn&#8217;t have apologized&#8230;if he doesn&#8217;t know he&#8217;s a dick, he hasn&#8217;t been paying attention. But Jeff Poor at the Daily Caller article lists some other incidences that the White House has injected itself into the news business. I guess they&#8217;re not accustomed to criticism after the last two years. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I snagged the above picture from Ace Of Spades.
