Those reporters "tend to ask more confrontational and, yes, theatrical questions

Thank you Howie for mansplaining the manly pouts of the FOX, ABC and CBS chair warmers and crapping on the silly, hormone-woozy questions from the notmen.
I laughed this morning watching Major do his standup in front of an empty White House instead of from a Hawaiian beach…
“Naughty” sucks, huh Major?

Howard Kurtz once aspired to have a career of significance - now he seem to be embracing the 'screw dignity - I’ll do anything for a buck mentality ’

He called on several major outlets: Politico, AP, McClatchy, Bloomberg, Reuters, WSJ, WaPo, and AURadio.
Topics included NKorea/Sony hack and terroristic threats, Cuba dissidents/human rights, Cuba “provocations” and Repub opposition, Cuba Castro meet and NKorea response sanctions/military, partisan gridlock etc. with immigration response, that BHO minimized benefits of Keystone XL, and climate change.

So, questions covered most of what Howie said were not “mentioned at all,” since the divas in the front row (Fox, et al.) didn’t mention them.

One must weigh Kurtz’s remarks against the fact that he is a hack.

No disrespect, Tony, but…

Says someone who is a weak, shallow bore convinced only of his own (non-existent) importance and relevance!

Spot-on.
The oligarchical MSM holds sway over every journo now financially.
Those who were entrenched for years–
now either take the paycheck-- and sell their soul–
or get kicked to the curb.

Thier name, their reputation-- is wholly-owned.
You get blacklisted by MSM now?
You’re done.

Kurtz is just another whore.

Helen would have certainly put her large purse between her seat and Major Garrett’s if she had to sit next to him…

They don’t call him Howie the Putz for nothing.

Once again, this president is brilliant.
Make a move like this, then allow the misogynist men in the media to criticize their professional female equals and expose their low regard for them; which in turn becomes the story.

Obama: 3d chess
His opponents: tiddly winks

it’s amazing to think this clown was once considered the most influential media critic in the U.S. Of course, that was his Washington Post days, long before he began his slide to idiocracy on Fox.

Well of course it was, since the men were the ones asking all the important questions, such as the only two audible questions shouted by the morons:

“Any New Year’s resolutions Mr. President?”

“Are you going to smoke any Cuban cigars?”

Unlike the lame throughtful intelligent questions about the actual issues, asked by those incompetent woment who are all there because of affirmative action as we all know.

/snark

And of course there is the fact that Howie Kurtz is an incompetent fuckwit. And has been since birth.
