#1 Journalists behaving in a filthy and nasty manner has old roots. The most recent wave began with Sam Donaldson, who began yelling obscenities at Ronald Reagan when Reagan didn't stop to talk to the press.

For his part, Reagan responded by directing that the Presidential helicopter be running before he even stepped outside, so he wouldn't have to listen to Donaldson's abuse.

But the end result was that the WH press corps slowly lost any decorum, acted like a rabble, and shouted down each other's questions.

#4 I wonder if this snotty-nosed little bi*** understands that as a GUEST on a military reservation, she comes under military law. They should throw her useless a$$ in the stockade for a few weeks, so she'll understand that being a reporter does NOT give her privileges not available to others.

#5 This chick has a history of being somewhat "forceful" with military public relations folk. Spend a few google cycles and you can quickly get a sense of her agenda.
