Most of us think the job of the press is to write informatively and truthfully about domestic and foreign issues.Now, we find out the press thinks they represent the American public to the government.
Brain dead morons. No wonder they think they are the 4th branch of government. Buffoons that they are, they've assumed an office that doesn't exist.
They think the job is asking the government questions the American public want answered...so Brokaw says but I don't remember the press questioning Commander Corruption or his press secretary on many questions the American public wanted answered. They are democrat poodles who only yap at Republicans and they are going down the big white tube. Good flush, good riddance.

Tom Brokaw to David Gregory: Cool it!
NBC anchorman emeritus Tom Brokaw has taken the network's obstreperous White House correspondent David Gregory to the woodshed, warning him not to let his relationship with brand new White House press secretary Tony Snow devolve into a foodfight.
"David and I have actually talked about this," Brokaw told radio host Don Imus on Thursday.
"I would succumb to this from time-to-time," the veteran newsman recalled. "You get into that bubble in the White House press corps and you begin to think that it's between you personally and the press secretary. Or that you're showing off for your colleagues in the room."
Gregory's exchanges with departing White House press secretary Scott McClellan often deteriorated into shouting matches. During the Dick Cheney hunting accident imbroglio, Gregory accused McClellan of being "a jerk to me personally."
Still responding to Imus' question about the volatile reporter, Brokaw indicated that he thought Gregory had crossed the line.
"That's not the function of the White House press corps. The function of the White House press corps is to represent the country and ask the questions that they deserve to have asked and to get answers for them. And not to make it some kind of a personal exchange."
Apparently sensing that he'd gone too far in making his reprimand of Gregory public, Brokaw then turned on dime, telling Imus:
"David is clearly the best correspondent down there. He is constantly learning and taking the temperature of the place. He's got great insights. I think the world of him. And we're very, very fortunate to have him." ***Note to Brokaw***...you may think you in the press are fortunate to have David Gregory but most of us think he's in insufferable lying ass.*
