“The press has no respect for its own profession, there is no sense of journalism…They have no respect for the country,” Fladell said. “They are self-serving, incompetent journalists that don’t have–”

It was at this point that Shatzman stood up and shouted: “I totally disagree! I’m a member of the press. I’m not going to sit and listen to this crap! I’m leaving.”

“If you think that’s great, there’s not going to be here to cover anything. You won’t have a godda** bit of coverage!” the reporter added.

“What he’s saying is true!” a member of the audience hollered.

Before finally leaving for good, Shatzman advised the audience to ignore what Fladell was saying because he is “full of you know what.”

Fladell, sometimes referred to as the “Prince of Palm Beach,” did not get flustered, using the disruption to argue that some members of the press have no interest in having a debate or cross-examining differing viewpoints. Fladell later talked about the hostility directed at the Tea Party.

BHO NSA must do better at keeping out of news

AP:

President Barack Obama is acknowledging he must “do a better job” (at everything) of giving Americans confidence in the programs the National Security Agency has deployed to guard against terrorism.  oh we are confident that the government is violating our rights every day in as many ways as possible.

Obama says the administration should “continue to improve the safeguards” of these initiatives. of course the “safeguards” he’s talking about are, people not finding out about these “initiatives”

 His remarks on CNN’s “New Day” show Friday came in the wake of new revelations that the electronic spying program scooped up as many as 56,000 (anyone else find that number to be conveniently low) emails and other communications annually over three years by Americans not connected to terrorism.

The president conceded the NSA had “inadvertently, accidentally,(oops) pulled the emails” of some Americans. (using Google)  But he also said the programs are necessary, “these aren’t unique to the NSA” (every gov. dep. is doing it, IRS ring a bell) and the United States has to adapt “in the right way” to the confluence of terrorist threats and rapidly advancing technology.
