More Shenanigans From Fox News Attempting to Prove the Media are Flaming Liberals

FoxNation.com has a link up right now to a YouTube video showing George Bush walking into the White House press briefing room on February 28, 2008, and the reporters don’t stand. The video then cuts to May 1, 2009, when President Obama walked into the room and the reporters stood. Fox’s caption is, “Why Did WH Press Corps. Stand for Obama But not for Bush?”
The video is below. It was posted to YouTube by Patrick Gavin.
Apparently, at the time, it was no big deal. Here’s another video of the first part of the presser — from MSNBC — with Chris Matthews narrating. Matthews doesn’t say a thing about the reporters not standing and I note that the usual supects on Fox weren’t outraged that day, or the day after or the day after that either. I suspect it was a case of people being so exhausted at the thought of entering an eighth year with Bush that nobody gave a damn.
But now, ah, now that video is priceless.
