Many of you are missing the point. The issue isn't the moment of silence for Bston. It is the Obama adminitration's policy of cutting out the press.


This. Many press photogs especially have raised concern at being blocked out of opportunities only to have an "official" photo released. The press runs the photo since it is all they have access to. It amounts to State propaganda. The press corp is extremely upset over these things.

Pretty sure the cameraman or reporter just said frick on live tv on @CNN during the most quiet moment of this Boston bombing tribute


I could be wrong, but I think it was a local reporter...

What are the odds that he will need the teleprompter for a moment of silence?

It's their own damn fault! They've been licking this administration's boots for 5 years, and NOW they're upset over THIS?? Screw them! The mainstream press has failed to do its job, so all those reporters get what they so richly deserve.

The White House will not allow members of the media to observe President Obama's moment of silence on Tuesday for the victims of the Boston Marathon bombings, drawing a protest from members of the White House press corps. Obama's observation, which will come at 2:49 p.m., will come in the middle of a meeting with senior advisers in the Oval Office. Associated Press White House correspondent Julie Pace pressed spokesman Jay Carney over the exclusion of reporters at his regular briefing. Pace said it was "clearly a newsworthy anniversary, and we think it's appropriate to have independent media coverage of the president on that anniversary."

"We certainly think that the moment is important, but it is mostly important in Boston," Carney said.
So this is what the press gets upset about? To bad CBS can't put Atkinson on this story.

Who is the bust to Obama's right? I'm talking about the bust sitting on the shelf, and not the people standing.

Men on his right , women on his left, all in place for a little do-si-do as soon as the cameraman leaves.

That's the famous bust of Martin Luther King that replaced the Winston Churchill bust, or so I have heard.
