From Denny: Just so you can see how the press interacts with the White House and how the White House responds on the issues of the day - and unfiltered. At least this level of transparency has been fulfilled by this President. His record on the NSA? Not so good at all.
Another bone to pick with my fellow media: Why isn't ALL of this news that's being discussed in these White House press briefings getting out to the public? Morning shows spend way too much time discussing Justin Bieber's hair, clothes and antics to shed his Good Boy image rather than informing about world issues that easily affect our economy, our families' security and our ability to hold long-term and well-paying jobs.
Some entertainment news and fluff fillers are fine but not endless hours of streaming stupidity that drowns out meaningful news stories that require an informed public so they can weigh in effectively at the voting booth. This kind of media pablum discourages critical thinking that people need to learn in order to do well at their jobs and life in general. Businesses are complaining quite loudly about the lack of critical thinking ability in new workers.
To the media outlets: Quit doing the American people a disservice by going for the easy money all the time. This is less the fault of individual journalists and more the fault of sleazy and scummy news producers who have no integrity, reducing journalism down to the level of a loud crass circus act.
