It's been almost a year since Obama's last press conference, and the White House Press Corpse is OK with that. So is the local press since we hear no peep about this.
Obama treats them with contempt because he knows that when big tests come, they've always been on his side. There's no reason for him to think they won't be there in the future. "Most of you covered me," he told the media elite at the 2009 White House Correspondents' Association dinner. "All of you voted for me."
That's how a pimp treats his hos ... with contempt.
That's the attitude coming out of the Oval Office every day. Why does Obama do it? Because he can.
And why should we care? Knowing what we know about the desire of the MFM to roll in the hay with Obama, do we expect the White House Press Corpse to get any more information, to do any more digging, than the White House staffer who interviewed Kagan for the White House web site?
I pass along this insight from Powerline not because I expect the Press Corpse to be resurrected as a news medium, they are too far into their graves. Unlike Lazarus, they will not rise again. But it's a marker along the road that we pass to tell us how far we've come, a clue as to how badly we are served, a warning light on the dashboard telling us the engine is failing ... pick your metaphor.
And it's a constant reminder that the Internet has now become indispensable as the primary source of information to the American people.

And that is why the internet is among other targets of the Obama administration. Didn't he tell the graduates at U of M that too much information can be a bad thing?
I so appreciate him looking out for me. NOT!!!!!!!!
