Well, I guess Jake isn't going to be getting any questions from the Chief Lapdog for a while:

Tapper: It’s escaped none of our notice that the White House has decided in the last few weeks to declare one of our sister organizations “not a news organization” and to tell the rest of us not to treat them like a news organization. Can you explain why it’s appropriate for the White House to decide that a news organization is not one –

(Crosstalk)

Gibbs: Jake, we render, we render an opinion based on some of their coverage and the fairness that, the fairness of that coverage.

Tapper: But that’s a pretty sweeping declaration that they are “not a news organization.” How are they any different from, say –

Gibbs: ABC -

Tapper: ABC. MSNBC. Univision. I mean how are they any different?

Gibbs: You and I should watch sometime around 9 o’clock tonight. Or 5 o’clock this afternoon.

Tapper: I’m not talking about their opinion programming or issues you have with certain reports. I’m talking about saying thousands of individuals who work for a media organization, do not work for a “news organization” -- why is that appropriate for the White House to say?

Gibbs: That’s our opinion.

Kudos to Tapper.

Fox is not news, courts cannot decide on Obamacles citizenship, do not question the polices, Unemployment has nothing to do with the current administration.

You see a trend here?

Because it is true.

Thanks for posting this. It certainly emphasizes how ridiculous the current administration is. Jake Tapper hit the nail on the donkey. It's not appropriate.
