Obama Continues Transparency Mission With Media Coffee Klutch
Barrack Obama ran for election on a campaign platform of transparency. He vowed not to fall prey to party politics and to maintain equal access to the POTUS and the White House for all.
How then do you reconcile that with yesterday's one-sided media reception?
An all-star list of progressive and liberal media folks came to the White House today to chat with President Obama over coffee in the Roosevelt Room.
Those there included the Washington Post‘s Ezra Klein and Greg Sargent, MSNBC anchors Ed Schultz, Rachel Maddow, and Chris Hayes, the Nation’s editor and publisher Katrina vanden Heuvel, the New York Times‘ Frank Bruni, and stars of the interwebs Arianna Huffington, Josh Marshall of Talking Points Memo, Faiz Shakir of ThinkProgress and Joy Reid of The Reid Report.
