Obama Chides Reporters For Swallowing Media-Tougher-On-Hillary Line
At a press avail in Texas today, Obama (finally) pushes back on the Hillary campaign's frequent claim that the press has been much rougher on her...
"I am a little surprised that all the complaining about the refs has actually worked as well as it has for them," he added. "This whole spin that the press is being so tough of them and not tough on us. I just didn’t expect you guys would bite on that."
It does appear that the Obama camp has been caught off guard by the now-obvious success of Hillary's bash-the-press strategy. The Hillary camp kept up its pressure on the press today during a conference call, so it'll be interesting to see if Obama's comments today represent the start of a concerted effort to push back on this.
Separately, as it stands now, most press observers and pundits have basically agreed with the Hillary camp on this question.
