Obama Staffers Have Regularly Scheduled Secret Dinners With Left-wing Media

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Apparently Howard Kurtz let the cat out of the bag in the WaPo's April 27 issue about a regularly scheduled secret media dinner attended by some of the top left-wing journalists in the country, and the guest list has included White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Sec. of the Treasury Tim Geithner, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke:

So, not only does Obama's Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel have secret daily phone calls with which to program the media's coverage of the White House, now it is revealed that Emanuel and other Obama staffers have been attending secret dinners to help the press "understand" what the White House wants reported? As Kurtz says, it all sounds "rather cozy," doesn't it?

The secret dinners for Obama staffers and his boosters in the Old Media have been going on for "more than a year" and are sponsored by David Bradley, the owner of the Atlantic. In attendance have been some of the most well known lefty journalists in Washington. Not surprisingly, not a single name mentioned in the Kurtz report is conservative.

Nothing like programming the media for what you want them to say. And what happened to all that transparency we were suppose to get?
