My sense is that the president respects the mainstream media but has little patience for cable food-fight shows, inflammatory bloggers or conservative radio talk show hosts (he has criticized Rush, Glenn and Sean by name several times).

That sounds like "Obama has little patience for shows and blogs which are willing to challenge his mythic status and suggest he’s neither experienced or wise." Kurtz continued:

But any president is going to do what’s in his self-interest, and he clearly decided after the news conference last July — the one in which his final answer, about Skip Gates [that the police "acted stupidly"], set off a huge flap — that such events are not ideal for getting his message out. He much prefers one-on-one interviews.

I asked Gibbs about this, and he cited two instances in recent months in which Obama took up to eight questions. These are mini-pressers at best, and there haven’t been many of those, either. I do think a president has an obligation to regularly meet with the press corps, and since Obama is quite good at it, his recent reluctance is puzzling.

Obama prefers one-on-one interviews. Translation: he prefers going on burger runs with Brian Williams or talking to Barbara Walters about getting a dog. He doesn’t like hostile questions that demand improvised answers instead of carefully prepared spin.

When the first question in the chat charged  Obama was getting "idolatrous" press coverage compared to previous presidents, Kurtz took exception:  

"Idalatrous" is a little strong; Obama got kicked around quite a bit during the months when he couldn’t seem to get health care or anything else passed. I don’t think that Robert Gibbs and his colleagues are especially thin-skinned compared to the other administrations I’ve covered. Maybe they were spoiled by the campaign.

But the president in particular keeps rapping the 24/7 news cycle and cable chatter. I was able to get Gibbs to acknowledge that they are willing participants in the media culture that they enjoy critiquing. And, of course, the press makes a useful foil for any president.

Kurtz is having an informal conversation, so charging Obama was "kicked around quite a bit" by the media before his health "reform" bill passed doesn’t require footnotes. Perhaps he’s referring to talk-show chat like Dan Rather claiming Obama "couldn’t sell watermelons" with state troopers flagging down traffic.

But Kurtz would have a hard time trying to claim Obama’s press was in any way more negative than his opponents like Sarah Palin or the Tea Party protesters received from the "mainstream" media in the final month or two of the health-care campaign.

Viewers saw a clip of Obama bemoaning “a lot of hand-wringing going on” in Washington, DC, interrupted by a woman’s voice from the audience at the Walter F. Ehrnfelt Recreation and Senior Center in Strongsville: “We need courage!” To cheers, a delighted Obama picked up on her prompt: “We need courage. That’s why I came here today. We need courage!”

If “courage” as a catch phrase sounds familiar, it’s the one word with which Dan Rather ended his newscasts in the mid-1980s, an ending he resurrected on Wednesday, March 9, 2005 when he signed-off forever from the CBS Evening News. (MRC CyberAlert item)

From the Monday, March 15 NBC Nightly News:

BRIAN WILLIAMS: An update tonight on where health care reform stands. The House has started preliminary votes aimed at moving a bill to a final vote by the end of this week. And President Obama traveled to Ohio for one last campaign-style rally where a shout-out from the audience gave him a chance to road test a new catch phrase: ‘We need courage.’

OBAMA: There’s a lot of hand-wringing going on. We hear a lot of people in Washington talking about politics, talking about what this means in November, talking about the poll numbers for Democrats, Republicans.

WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: We need courage!

OBAMA, TO CHEERS: We need courage. That’s why I came here today. We need courage!

WILLIAMS: The President is set to leave for an already postponed trip to Asia Sunday morning. Hopes to have a bill in front of him by then, he says. He said late today he thinks the votes will be there to make it happen.

Ironically, on the Monday, March 8, The View on ABC, as the group discussed the film The Blind Side which features a white family taking in a black teen, co-host Barbara Walters complained about those who criticize interracial adoption as the more left-leaning Joy Behar and guest co-host and actress Vanessa Williams complained that the film portrayed white parents as being the answer to social problems of troubled black kids.

On the March 3, World News, after recounting that black social workers used to "condemn" interracial adoptions as "cultural genocide," Claiborne passed on that, although that view has softened up, there are still those with concerns:

GLORIA BATISTE ROBERTS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK SOCIAL WORKERS: Children deserve the right to be with people who look like them, who can understand what they are going through, understand their culture.

CLAIBORNE: At the Spence Chapin Adoption Agency, counselors urge white parents adopting a black child to integrate their lives, even if it means moving to a racially diverse neighborhood.

RITA TADDONIO, SPENCE-CHAPIN ARC: If you look around your table and your guests are all of the same color, then you shouldn’t be adopting a child of a different color.

After briefly giving voice to a white couple who adopted two black children whoto defend their point of view, Claiborne again summarized the views of interracial adoption critics: "Not wrong, say some of those who grew up black in a white family, just not easy."

On the March 8 The View, during a discussion of the Academy Awards and the film The Blind Side, starring Sandra Bullock, guest co-host Williams complained: "It brings up a theme for black folks that, okay, here’s another white family that has saved the day in terms of another black story that has to have a white person come in and lift them up. And I’m not saying that it’s not true and it didn’t happen, but it’s one of those, do I really want to see the same theme again?"

Walters defended the willingness of couples to reach out to children of different races: "I have to disagree with you. Yes, it is a true story, but I would hope that we would get to the day where the fact that a black family could adopt a white – or that a white family could adopt a homeless black child and it would not be applauded by all the races, I think to say, ‘Oh, it’s one more white people helping.’ It was a wonderful story, and it was a story of closeness between two races."

Behar soon jumped in and seemed to agree with Williams. Behar: "But the issue with [The Blind Side] is that it gives the false impression that the problem of poverty and homelessness can be solved by the largesse of some liberal good family … Liberal meaning, I wasn’t referring to liberal as the party. I was referring to liberal as an open-minded and loving gesture. … But I believe that that does not address the systemic differences in the races, in homelessness, in poverty in the country. And it puts a band-aid on the situation, and it’s lauded as a solution to the issue, and it’s not."

Below are transcripts of relevant portions of the Wednesday, March 3, World News on ABC, followed by the Monday, March 8, The View, on ABC:

#From the Wednesday, March 3, World News on ABC:

DIANE SAWYER, IN OPENING TEASER: Race and reality: What really happens to a black child adopted by an all-white family?

…

SAWYER, BEFORE COMMERCIAL BREAK: And still ahead on World News, we probe new questions about adoption and race: Should a black child be raised in an all-white family?

…

SAWYER: Tonight, provocative questions about black and white and adoption, raised again by all those adoptions of Haitian children after the earthquake. A lot of people of both races have been asking, are we sure what’s really best for the child? Here’s Ron Claiborne.

RON CLAIBORNE: They are images of joy, images of happy endings amid so much tragedy. In January, Duke and Lisa Scoppa adopted two Haitian orphans – four-year-old Erickson and six-month-old Therline.

LISA SCOPPA, MOTHER: I just always felt like it would be a really enriching experience for us and for everybody involved, really.

CLAIBORNE: For these children, it is certainly a better life, materially, and a chance to grow up in a loving family. But many black children who were adopted by white parents say there’s another side to the story.

PHIL BERTELSEN, DOCUMENTARY FILMMAKER: I didn’t feel like I was seen or understood.

CLAIBORNE: Phil Bertelsen was four when he was adopted. He and other black adoptees tell a similar tale, of feeling estranged, cut off from their own racial identity and culture.

BERTELSEN: It creates a lonely feeling.

CLAIBORNE: Bertelsen made a documentary about adoption and race, and the issues of identity that he himself is still grappling with.

BERTELSEN: Ultimately, I am a part of your family. I use my name with pride. But I am also an African-American man in your family. And, you know, you have to see me as that.

MOTHER OF PHIL BERTELSEN: Maybe we were naive, Phillip.

BERTELSEN: I found a moment to say what I had always wanted to say.

CLAIBORNE: Which was?

BERTELSEN: Which was, "See me. This is who I am."

CLAIBORNE: For years, trans-racial adoptions like Phil’s were rare after the National Black Social Workers Association condemned them as "cultural genocide." The group has softened its position somewhat.

GLORIA BATISTE ROBERTS, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF BLACK SOCIAL

WORKERS: Children deserve the right to be with people who look like them, who can understand what they are going through, understand their culture.

CLAIBORNE: At the Spence Chapin Adoption Agency, counselors urge white parents adopting a black child to integrate their lives, even if it means moving to a racially diverse neighborhood.

RITA TADDONIO, SPENCE-CHAPIN ARC: If you look around your table and your guests are all of the same color, then you shouldn’t be adopting a child of a different color.

CLAIBORNE: The Scoppas do not apologize for adopting black children.

DUKE SCOPPA, FATHER: If there are no black families that want to adopt them, and we want to adopt them and make them part of our lives and give them as much love as possible, then I don’t know why that’s so wrong.

CLAIBORNE: Not wrong, say some of those who grew up black in a white family, just not easy. Ron Claiborne, ABC News, New York.

SAWYER: And let us know what you think. We want to hear what you have to say.

#From the Monday, March 8, The View on ABC:

VANESSA WILLIAMS: And I have to be honest, the one thing about it – I’m sure I have a, I know it’s based on a true story, she won an Academy Award, I’m sure she did a brilliant performance – but it brings up a theme for black folks that, okay, here’s another white family that has saved the day in terms of another black story that has to have a white person come in and lift them up.

JOY BEHAR: Right.

WILLIAMS: And I’m not saying that it’s not true and it didn’t happen, but it’s one of those, do I really want to see the same theme again? You know, Finding Forrester-

BARBARA WALTERS: I’m not sure when you said, I have to disagree with you. Yes, it is a true story, but I would hope that we would get to the day where the fact that a black family could adopt a white – or that a white family could adopt a homeless black child and it would not be applauded by all the races, I think to say, "Oh, it’s one more white people helping." It was a wonderful story, and it was a story of closeness between two races, so I don’t agree with (UNINTELLIGIBLE)

WILLIAMS: I’m just telling you what people have said.

WALTERS: One of the other things that people objected to was that Precious was a bad depiction of black people, and we asked Monique about that because that had been a criticism. And she said it could happen in white and black families.

BEHAR: Lee Daniels, the director, said that it was produced, I believe, in London, with a white cast, so, obviously, but the issue with Blind Sided (The Blind Side) is that it gives the false impression that the problem of poverty and homelessness can be solved by the largesse of some liberal good family which basically does not, does not attack-

ELISABETH HASSELBECK: It wasn’t a liberal family. It was actually a Republican family.

BEHAR: Okay, Republican family.

HASSELBECK: Not that it matters, I’m not going to fact check there.

BEHAR: Liberal meaning, I wasn’t referring to liberal as the party. I was referring to liberal as an open-minded and loving gesture. … But I believe that that does not address the systemic differences in the races, in homelessness, in poverty in the country. And it puts a band-aid on the situation, and it’s lauded as a solution to the issue, and it’s not.

…

WALTERS: This was not saying this is how, everybody should go out and adopt a homeless white child or a homeless black – it was not a documentary, it was one story of reconciliation and love.

HASSELBECK: And it actually shed light, if you read the book, which, okay, Tim read the book and we’ve been picking his brain about this since this subject has come up many times, and I think that he said he remembers in reading it that it was, it did shed light on the fact that it was the foster system that failed Michael Oher, it was the Memphis school system that failed him. So, in some ways, it actually was a call to action in showing, like, look, these systems which are supposed to help kids like a Michael Oher left to his mother who is dealing with drugs and other children and homelessness, regardless of race, this system is failing kids, and so I think it did shed light on that.

WALTERS: And the other black young people – whatever, they weren’t, they were sort of – were tearing his life apart and picking on him, it wasn’t the whites, it was, anyway, it’s interesting that you had both of these movies that have made-

BEHAR: Stirred up a lot of issues. … It starts the conversation which we sorely need.

Nowhere in the article does Givhan discuss the bad PR echo after the layoffs of "dozens" at CBS News, where network suits surrounding the "conquering Couric" declared she would make no pay concessions to save the little people. (Isn’t it a little funny when a news organization won’t offer a precise layoff number to other media?)

Instead, Givhan lauded the anchorwoman for daring to obsess over her own image and add some "sexy," and for helping get those wonderful Obamas elected:

Couric stands atop two TV sets, one with a still shot of her interviewing Palin during the presidential campaign and the other with a shot of her speaking with President Obama at the White House.

It’s a victory photograph — Couric as the conquering and influential anchor — and it not so subtly sends a message about cause and effect: The Palin interview influenced the Obama win. Couric is on top of her game, at least in this photo story — no matter that her "CBS Evening News" lags in the ratings.

There’s also no one in the story who thinks she looks ridiculous with her hair slicked back like the Fonz and with eye makeup that makes her look like a raccoon. Givhan instead backs up a colleague at the magazine (which could explain the puff piece?) in defense of Couric’s glamour bender:

Couric "is really an attractive woman, and in case anyone hasn’t noticed, it’s been widely reported, she has great legs. There’s no reason, in this day and age, why any woman has to compromise her attractiveness to do the job," says Laura Brown, the fashion/special projects director who oversaw the photo shoot, and an editor for whom I have written. "When coming up in the industry, you tend to dress the way people think you should dress; she has earned the right to be sexy if she wants."

The celebrity self-centeredness of the whole shoot should remind TV news watchers of Charlie Gibson’s departure, as what Eric Deggans called the last of the old-school anchors who took their jobs seriously. He didn’t feel compelled to look sexy in fashion mags or crack wise on 30 Rock about having random sex with strangers. Can anyone imagine Walter Cronkite in either sideline? 

At the Jezebel blog, someone named simply Irin thinks it’s all "retrogressive" in tone:

I support Katie Couric’s right to pose as sexily as she wants to. Fashion shoots are fun and she looks great at whatever age. It’s part of her job, like it or not, to be someone people want to look at or watch. But do we have to pretend that the display of the traditional beauty of someone on television, as seen in a fashion magazine, is somehow fresh and progressive? Show me Candy Crowley in Balenciaga (or, um, in sweatpants?) and maybe I’ll be impressed.

Limbaugh was rushed to a Honolulu hospital Wednesday while during a vacation. Guest host Walter E. Williams described Limbaugh’s pains as similar to the feeling of a “heart attack coming on.” But Williams said doctors haven’t confirmed whether the 58-year-old had a heart attack, and more exams were planned Tuesday. “Rush continues to rest very comfortably in a hospital in Honolulu this afternoon — actually …

Mary Jo wasn’t a right-wing talking point or a negative campaign slogan….We don’t know how much Kennedy was affected by her death, or what she’d have thought about arguably being a catalyst for the most successful Senate career in history….[One wonders what] Mary Jo Kopechne would have had to say about Ted’s death, and what she’d have thought of the life and career that are being (rightfully) heralded. Who knows — maybe she’d have thought it was worth it.

For reference, Kopechne died in the backseat of Kennedy’s car after he drove off a bridge in Chappaquiddick in 1969, an accident the Senator did not report for several hours.

In razor-close balloting, the runner-up for MRC’s "Quote of the Year" went to Newsweek’s Evan Thomas for making this absurd comparison on MSNBC’s Hardball on June 5: "In a way, Obama is standing above the country, above the world. He’s sort of God." Thomas later posted a statement on Newsweek’s web site: "I was not being literal."

MRC President Brent Bozell reacted: “2009 was the first year of the liberal media’s God, President Barack Obama.  The biased coverage and blatant praises the media lavishly bestowed upon the golden boy and his cronies aren’t bad for laughs. But laughter isn’t what Americans are really after from the news media – We’d like some news.”

Other "winners" from the MRC’s Best Notable Quotables of 2009: The 22nd Annual Awards for the Year’s Worst Reporting:

Cooper: "It’s hard to talk when you’re teabagging."

Walters suggested Nancy Pelosi, Steve Jobs, Michelle Obama, Warren Buffett, Google, the Taliban, and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. But Walters also made a case of Madoff, “You put Bernie Madoff on [[the cover]…and you’re going to have more discussion and more stuff and more people buzzing."

TV Newser added that during the discussion, former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani discussed the influence of Roger Ailes, Rush Limbaugh, and Glenn Beck this past year. To that Gayle King said, "I’m getting ill." Fishbowl NYsummed up:

After running through lists of possible Person of the Year winners that included Bernie Madoff, Captain "Sully" Sullenberger and the Iranian protesters, the six-person panel ended the night in a three-three split. Walters agreed with TV personality Dr. Mehmet Oz and Gayle King that "the guys from Twitter," meaning Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams and Biz Stone, should take the prize. Giuliani, "Top Chef" judge Tom Colicchio and Pittsburgh mayor Luke Ravensthal all voted for "the economy," settling on some amalgam of Ben Bernanke and the unemployed American worker as Person of the Year.

I’d guess they’ll go international or non-political this year. Walters really likes plugging Pelosi. She named her the "Most Fascinating" Person in 2006 on ABC. A few weeks later on The View, after President Bush’s 2007 State of the Union address, Walters expressed how it was a "treat to see the first female Speaker of the House" as she hailed Nancy Pelosi with a hearty, fist-raised "hooray" while Rosie O’Donnell sang "I am woman, hear me roar."

We’re a little surprised she didn’t nominate "fascinating" and "charismatic" leftist dictator Hugo Chavez.

But neither CBS nor NBC cited those quotes for their viewers as they gave short-shrift to Hasan’s remarks in “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military,” a slide show disclosed by Dana Priest in Tuesday’s Washington Post (click on “Launch Photo Gallery” for Hasan’s entire presentation at Walter Reed in June of 2007).

On the NBC Nightly News, Pete Williams just briefly noted how Hasan asserted that “releasing Muslim soldiers as conscientious objectors would increase troop morale and, quote, ‘decrease adverse events.’” Bob Orr, on CBS, at least characterized it as “a shocking presentation to colleagues,” and related only how “Hasan argued forcing Muslim soldiers to fight wars in Muslim countries puts them ‘at risk to hurting/killing believers unjustly’ and he ominously warned of ‘adverse events.’”  

ABC anchor Charles Gibson set up the Ross story: “There is interest now focused on a presentation written by Hasan two years ago that provides insights into his views about Muslims, like himself, serving in the military.”

Brian Ross reported:

The Washington Post reported today that Hasan presented this PowerPoint presentation at Walter Reed hospital in 2007, saying: “It’s getting harder and harder for Muslims in the service to morally justify being in a military that seems constantly engaged against fellow Muslims.” Under comments, he wrote: “We love death more than you love life.” And his conclusion was that Muslim soldiers be given the option of being released from the military, as conscientious objectors, to decrease what he called “adverse events.”

Bob Orr, on the CBS Evening News:

There were reasons to worry. Hasan received poor performance reviews at Walter Reed, frequently criticized the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and in June, 2007, Hasan gave a shocking presentation to colleagues. Using slides, Hasan argued forcing Muslim soldiers to fight wars in Muslim countries puts them “at risk to hurting/killing believers unjustly” and he ominously warned of “adverse events.” Yet it’s not clear that anyone inside the military had a complete picture of Hasan’s growing radicalization.

Pete Williams, who spent most of his story on ties between Hasan and radical/al Qaeda imam Anwar al-Awlaki, related on the slide show at the Walter Reed Army Hospital:

Hasan formally expressed some of that criticism in a 2007 classroom presentation first obtained by the Washington Post. His conclusion: Releasing Muslim soldiers as conscientious objectors would increase troop morale and, quote, “decrease adverse events.”
