So I looked it up: " Obama press conference told journalist to breathe " Interesting results, you should check it out.
If I directed you to it I probably remember it and its import so no need for me to check it out. It’s relevance? That fact is that the Obama administration was not treated gently by journalists. Those people in his administration and Obama just reacted differently than the present incumbents. Those poor, mistreated present incumbents.

I got headlines like this:

Here’s all the tiles Obama ejected the media

Obama scolds reporter for question

Obama, whose administration prosecuted and spied on reporters

Yeah, those were the good old days, when the administration wiretapped journalists instead of walking out on them or, horrors! calling them names! I’d forgotten about that!

And oddly enough, I couldn’t find out anything about this incident of someone telling a reporter to breathe. I do remember that someone fainted…
 
Trying to show that left of center pols get softball questions, etc., would be enormously difficult, but consider the adulatory way everyone treated Cuomo vs the way they treat Trump.

New York has had 27,000 deaths out of the nation’s 80,000, just under one-third. At least 40% of those deaths occurred among nursing home residents, which were required by Cuomo’s health department to accept people leaving the hospital regardless of virus status. The regulation was promulgated March 25th, and Cuomo was not even asked about it until April 20th, at which point he was allowed to get away with saying he didn’t know about it.
 
Cuomo is the most popular politician in America. I guess what you are saying is there was a lost opportunity to reduce his job approval?

How could you possibly get that out of my post?

A poster asked for examples where pols popular among journalists get softball questions and pols who are unpopular among journalists do not.

I suggested the difference in treatment between one popular pol and another unpopular pol wrt covid results as an example.

Why you would insinuate that I had some secret malicious meaning in there, I don’t know.
Cuomo is the most popular politician in America.
Exactly my point.
 
Well, let’s see. How many of them has he had the FBI spy on? How many of them had their parents phones tapped? How many networks did he refuse to allow into press conferences because he disagrees with their politics?

The answer is none. Those are all things the Obama people did. It has been remarked that the left wrongly accuses conservatives of what the left is actually doing. And it’s true. If we end up in a dictatorship, it will be from the left, not the right. And if they ever get their hands on the reins of government again, that’s probably what we’ll have, and forever.

First example of excluding the press was inviting TASA in the WH to take photos and report on Kislyak. The US press had to ask TASA for a photo. Trump called the CIA Director a nutcase in front of Russia’s head spy.
7 days later the GOP had no choice but to appoint Mueller.
Remember always the GOP was forced by Trump’s choices to appoint Mueller

  1. Consider what it means when proving your theory would be ‘enormously difficult.’
  2. Maybe Cuomo acted better than Trump, huh?

As a practical matter, I am working from a phone. I would have to look up transcripts of press conferences and interviews, pull quotes, provide links, and in the end, I would get comments of how what I have posted is not equivalent.

So, I am all for the idea that he who makes the assertion should provide the proof, but I am commenting on a message board not writing a PhD paper. When liberals document their bias, as I posted two links in the past few days, I do not see why I have to do something that would not be accepted anyway.

…Euphemists. I mean merely that short words startle them, while long words soothe them. And they are utterly incapable of translating the one into the other, however obviously they mean the same thing. Say to them “The persuasive and even coercive powers of the citizen should enable him to make sure that the burden of longevity in the previous generations does not become disproportionate and intolerable, especially to the females?”; say this to them and they sway slightly to and fro like babies sent to sleep in cradles. Say to them “Murder your mother,” and they sit up quite suddenly. Yet the two sentences, in cold logic, are exactly the same. Say to them “It is not improbable that a period may arrive when the narrow if once useful distinction between the anthropoid homo and the other animals, which has been modified on so many moral points, may be modified also even in regard to the important question of the extension of human diet”; say this to them, and beauty born of murmuring sound will pass into their faces. But say to them, in a simple, manly, hearty way “Let’s eat a man!” and their surprise is quite surprising. Yet the sentences say just the same thing.

Not to mention that most of the outbreaks in the country originated in NY.
 
It’s amazing he has been as patient and tolerant as he has been.
Hahahahahahahaha.

Sorry, but you’re being incredibly naive if you think any surveillance policies have been loosened under Trump’s watch. Remember the encryption bill fiasco a while ago?

You can’t hold up Trump as a better moral standard than Obama when he’s got plenty of skeletons in his closet.
 
I’m not sure the press is free. And if it is it sure is bought and paid for by the leftists…

You really shouldn’t do this. You surely know Rosenstein said, at about that same time, that he is not a Republican. The GOP most assuredly did not appoint Mueller.

I’m all ears. Fill me in with this administration’s wrongful surveillance incidents.
 
Just heard Trump unmasked 16,000 times last year and 10,000 this year.
