Fox News Mara Liasson Fumes after Obama Press Conference
Mara Liasson, National political correspondent for National Public Radio (NPR) and long-time contributor to Fox News, appears to be fuming after President Obama called on Huffington Post blogger Sam Stein during yesterday’s news conference. (It’s said to be the first time a president has acknowledged a blogger during a White House press conference, so the moment generated a bit of press chatter.)
Just over an hour ago, Ana Marie Cox (formerly Wonkette, now frequenting MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow) reported in on Twitter:
Mara Liasson next to me; on the phone; just said “He called on Huffington Post! I was surprised he didn’t call on Air America!” Oh honey.
