Snow gears up for first official press gaggle, slams press
WASHINGTON – New White House Press Secretary Tony Snow is starting off in a combative mode against the press by issuing detailed rebuttals to what he considers unfair coverage of Bush.
“The New York Times continues to ignore America’s economic progress” blared the headline of an e-mail sent to reporters Wednesday by the White House press office.
Minutes earlier, another e-mail blasted CBS News, which has had an unusually rocky relationship with the White House since 2004, when CBS aired what turned out to be forged documents in a failed effort to question the president’s military service.
“CBS News misleadingly reports that only 8 million seniors have signed up for Medicare prescription drug coverage” Wednesday’s missive said. “But 37 million seniors have coverage.” On Tuesday, the White House railed against “USA Today’s misleading Medicare story.”
“USA Today claims ‘poor, often minority’ Medicare beneficiaries are not enrolling in Medicare drug coverage” the press office complained. “But by April, more than 70 percent of eligible African Americans, more than 70 percent of eligible Hispanics, and more than 75 percent of eligible Asian Americans are enrolled or have retiree drug coverage.”
The AP reported Monday that Snow’s first informal briefing (gaggle) will be tomorrow and his first televised briefing is on Monday.
Give ‘em hell, Tony.

“Give ‘em hell, Tony.”
Is that what the truth is these days?
The truth is the truth and false allegations are false allegations. Yes. Give those who are making false allegations hell Tony!!!
andrew, the liberals and leftists and their minions in the MSM wouldn’t know what truth was if it bit them on their butts. Let’s see…HIGHEST GAS PRICES EVER!!! er, no that would be in 1981, NSA DOMESTIC WIRETAPPING, er, no intercepting calls from know terrorists that cross the border from international to the US is not “domestic spying,” FAKE BUT ACCURATE!!!…WTF?…and on and on and on and on and on…
Tony Snow has a very difficult job ahead. I can’t think of anyone better for the job, glad he took it. Hope it’s not too late.
ST- I kinda’ miss that resident lefty kook Steve.
He really was good for a laff.
Not
- It simply would not be possible for me to give an objective comment on the TTP’s absense, but it sure has been a pleasure going a full week+ without being called a War-mongering Zionist Neocon. I’ll tell you what…… *chuckle*
- I’m hoping FOX televises Snows on-air debute, but if not I’ll suck it up and tune in CNN. Don’t want to miss that.
- Bang
The Snowman – Tony
Won’t take no baloney
From any MSM phony
(Sorry – could not resist)
Watch out, they will complain they are only getting Fox in the press room…..
- Hey sanity…. have to cut the Royal pain in the arse drive by press princes some slack….
- You think after spending years in the same room with Helen Thomas you’d still be called sane?
- Bang
Good luck, Tony, and GOD speed!
Heheheee!
Tony Snow, by virtue of his former daily radio show, has his finger on the pulse of John and Jane Q. Public better than all the pointy heads in D.C. I hope he is giving Frist, Hastert and White House an earful of what he has been hearing for months, if not for years. And I’m particularly waiting for NBC’s David Gregory to spout off and see how Tony responds.
“Give ‘em hell?”
How about “answer the questions?”
-Excuse me?
I happen to be a proud member of the War Mongering Zionist Neocons
ME TOO, CZ!!!!!!!!!!!!
Interesting Jeff, this is a thread about how the media is basically lying to the American people, yet you choose to demand the administration answer the questions? How about the media? Or can they do whatever they want as long as they are attacking the President???
I remember when the Press Room was remodeled and was over the old White House Swimming Pool. Jim Brady cracked that the Press Corps could still be dumped into that old pool. Hope Tony finds the control to do so and does it!
jeff: The MSM needs to ask an honest question, not make agenda-driven statements masquerading as questions, to get an answer. Try to keep up, okay? peace
Hehehee! Sorry, Bang, I had to!
- Jeez Louise benning….I spit coffee all over my monitor…. at least warn me next time…. *snort*
- Bang
Isn’t this the same evil MSM that fell asleep at the wheel in the lead up to war and just took everything the administration said as gospel. And you people have the nerve to talk about “agenda driven?” Try to keep up with this: it’s the press’ job to ask tough questions. If you want lap-dogs, buy a terrier.
stevie boy is routinely and regularly ignored over at the Museum of Left Wing Lunacy. The threads have been fewer and farther between of late, but there’s plenty of lunacy posing as lucid thought by steve and others like him. I love this site, but for laughs, you can’t beat steve and his cohorts at the Museum.

Yes. But not ones with false premises and agendas.
I am viewing the Snow appointment with cautious [and slight!] optimism… One thing that could come back [more than once] to nag at the former commentator is this right here.
With some exceptions, his past writings have been pretty good. I wish there was some way that that he could maintain his principle and polemics even while in new position.
But that’s just not how it works…
