Zero Launches 'Profanity-Laced' Tirades Against Press
2014-12-09
According to retired ABC News journalist Ann Compton, Barack Obama has launched into "profanity-laced" tirades against the press in off-the-record meetings with reporters. In a C-SPAN interview, Compton also derided the President for leading "the most opaque" administration of "any I have covered."

The journalist, who retired in August after a 40-year career, revealed to C-SPAN's Brian Lamb: "I have seen in the last year Barack Obama really angry twice. Both were off the record times. One, profanity-laced where he thought the press was making too much of scandals that he did not think were scandals." [MP3 audio here.]

#9  The press is like a battered spouse. He's putting them in their place because lately they've been a bit willing to critic and we can't have that.

#6  Note - "recently retired." And on CSPAN. Not ABC, her former employer.

#5  The press is the best friend Obama has; these tirades make no sense.

#4  You don't know your place peasants! Journalist ethics? "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;"

Nuff said.

#3  Screaming and elevated levels of angry bile directed at sheepish lickspittles. Could cause a man's throat to become sore.

....Ann will vote for whomever the Dems put up for president in 2016, despite all this.
