During yesterday’s White House press briefing, reporters grilled spokesman Robert Gibbs on the growing trend of staged theatrics used by President Obama.  Last week, when a Huffington Post columnist was hand-selected by the White House to ask a specific question of the President at a press briefing, the media was understandably upset.  But when the White House unveiled its new reality TV show, “Health Care Town Halls,” with Senior Advisor Valerie Jarrett acting as the host, the press had enough.  Staged questions, hand-picked audiences, and still no answers.  It appears the honeymoon between Obama and the fourth estate appears to be over.
