More Thin-Skinned "Attacks" From the White House
Ace of Spades HQ —
More Thin-Skinned "Attacks" From the White House This time aimed at Edmunds.com, who pointed out yesterday the Cash for Clunkers program was a clunker . We're being governed by a bunch of emo pukes. From the White House blog: On the same day that we found out that motor vehicle output added 1.7% to economic growth in the third quarter the largest contribution to quarterly growth in over a decade Edmunds.com has released a faulty analysis suggesting that the Cash for Clunkers program had no meaningful impact on our economy or on overall auto sales. This is the latest of ...
Obama's Adolescent White House

... Do you think she might be on to something given a White House that recently attacked a website, Edmunds, by suggesting they did their analysis on Mars? The attack was as foolish as it was childish in nature. ...
Break Out the Smelling Salts
Balloon Juice —
I really do not understand this attitude:
It is an odd, and we’d say regrettable, pattern of this White House that it lets itself get dragged down into fights with specific media outlets.
George W. Bush experienced acrimony with the New York Times, but for the most part, other than general frustrations of a conservative administration, complaining about a liberal media, it was no big deal.
But in addition to Fox News, now The White House is going after highly-respected and influential car site Edmunds.com. ...
The Whiningest White House of Ever
Snapped Shot —
Gee, who would've guessed that the White House would've gone running to Mama Media, crying in utter pain over that Edmunds.com report from a few days ago.
You know, it used to be that when an Administration—say, one like George W. Bush's—had to deal with endless criticism from the press, it would shrug it off and rise above the petty little criticisms that it felt were so undeserved.
Apparently, our betters on Pennsylvania Avenue have different ideas about what constitutes "proper" press coverage. Ideas which revolve around the press worshipping the ...
Obama Doesn’t Take It Like A “Good” Liberal
Oliver Willis —
Sites like Business Insider are angry when the White House does things like rebut Edmunds.com’s take on cash for clunkers. Conservative blogs and Fox News do not like when the White House doesn’t just suck up made up stories pushed by Fox News and conservative blogs. The media doesn’t like pushback, particularly not from Democrats.
In their minds, historically, liberals and Democrats just roll over and die when the media goes on the attack. Often, liberals and Dems have apologized for no good reason simply due to media attacks. The Obama ...
White House Stuck On Stupid
QandO —
... Well, über defensive and stupid, to be more accurate. At least with its war on Fox News there was some calculated ability to garner sympathy and support from the fevered progressive masses. Taking on one of the most reputable reviewers of the car industry, when it’s giving you good news, is just plain idiotic: ...
White House Blog Has a Word with Edmunds
techPresident —
... Silicon Alley's Joe Weisenthal is of the opinion that the White House blog's pointed critique of Edmunds.com over Cash for Clunkers, a program that has run its course, makes the Obama White House look thin-skinned. (A variation on the word "stupid" pops up in Weisenthal's post.) The White House new media operation is in some ways a strange hybrid. Organized in the White House hierarchy as part of the White House communications team, it seems to be using its innovative blog here as more or less the online component of the traditional White House press ...

Weekend Opinionator: Was the Car Rebate Plan a Clunker?
Opinionator —
... triggered by an event like Cash for Clunkers. With all respect to the White House, Edmunds.com thinks that instead of shooting the messenger, government officials should take heart from the core message of the analysis: the fundamentals of the auto marketplace are improving faster than the current sales numbers suggest. Isn’t this a piece of good news we can all cheer? Good question. The answer: of course not! This is politics, after all. And Joe Weisenthal at The Business Insider thinks it’s bad politics, at that. “It is an odd, and we’d say regrettable, pattern of this ...
Arguing With Bono
The American Spectator —
... Development Goals (MDG one of eight) is to halve extreme poverty worldwide by 2015. The late, great Norman Borlaug did his part to make that happen, but Borlaug and his dwarf wheat were not also pushing for gender equality, universal primary education, and widespread access to antiretroviral drugs, as the United Nations is trying to do. In Bono's surprisingly blinkered view, it took Barack Obama -- the president whose administration uses fallen warriors for photo ops while carping about any journalism it doesn't like -- to make the world see that ...
