The Cable Gamer will admit to a certain affection for Michael Wolff of Vanity Fair. Yes, he's a self-absorbed blowhard, and yes, he got a lot of facts wrong about Rupert Murdoch in his recent book, but he is always interesting, nonetheless. A case in point is his new piece in VF on the management of the White House press operation, under the leadership of presidential press secretary Robert Gibbs, and about 60 others in the WH message-meistering biz.
Wolff evinces a certain grudging respect for Gibbs & Co., but he is thoroughly scornful of the White House press corps, eliciting this quote from David Corn, in which the Mother Jones reporter declares that Gibbs' job is "to talk to the dinosaurs."
Zing!
