  • lol Dana is ridiculous

  • Dana sucks!!!!

  • Maybe if mainstream media did real reporting...

  • ROFL you guys attacking Dana are priceless. Nico had his ass handed to him. Everyone knows HuffPo bloggers are so far up the Obama administration's ass they'd do anything to defend it from any serious criticism that extends outside of the liberal arena.

    I'm sure you guys are the same people who bitch about lobbyists and revolving doors. Well, here's why! Nico is a product of the political / media incest orgy going on in Washington. He's not a reporter, he's a sycophant. Get a clue folks.

  • Comment removed

  • Obamas Health Care Legislation... Do you support his administration's?? Come to my youtube profile page and Know exactly why Americans opinons matters !

  • Nico the Putz

  • When I look up douche bag in the dictionary I see a picture Dana Milbank.

  • It's always fun to watch this elitist pig get intellectually bludgeoned.

  • JEALOUSY,

    Totally jealousy,

    whats wrong with an Iranian getting to ask a question he represent Huffpost

    and im a daily reader

    Such hypocrisy from the right

    not suprised at all.

  • Wow, Dana Milbanks is an effete little bitch, isn't he?

    Obama asked Nico the question because Nico had been doing some excellent reporting on the Huff Po and was specifically in contact with Iranians during the aftermath of the election.

    If Dana Milbanks had been doing hands on reporting instead of glad-handling Washington insiders, than maybe he would have been asked a serious question by a serious president as well.

  • Chavez did not kill Martin Luther King, nor Kennedy, nor one million people for oil with lies, nor 3000 nuclear weapons pointing to every nation in the world, nor investing 700 billion dollars per year on military expenditures, nor intelligent service agencies sending mails with Anthrax Virus to its own population while blaming other country, nor Kings on its constitution, nor world record of drogadics, nor Nazi retarded on CNN or FOX news, nor 13 trillion dollars debt.

  • "Is the Pope Catholic?" Of course the White House is in collution with the Huffington Post, Mediamatters, MSNBC, etc. how is this news to anyone? Didn't we see this during the election coverage. The media is in the tank for Obama and they admit it. So much for the 4th estate.

  • A staged question is...a staged question. Another form of...dare I say it... transparency.

  • Dana got ass raped. 72 stitches for this virgin.

  • Hard to believe the media limp wristers are now fighting amongst themselves over who has crawled further up their exhalted leader's rear. Wow.

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zzzzzz!

    reporters bitching and whining at each other.

    maybe the news was a little slow

  • The Puff Ho working with BO Hos.

  • LMAO Nico Pitney...

    lets not forget that pitney once use to operate at thinkprogress...a blog which called all americans to be exterminated.

  • Why is Dana letting this Jew rape him on television?

  • Agent provocator - Go back to the Democrat Underground comment page where you belong. You fool no one.

  • Obama said I WILL NOT RAISE YOUR TAXES FOR ANY REASON. He's cunning boy. Crap & Trade won't raise taxes, oh no it'll just sky rocket our electric bills, hike gas prices & lots more. The government will move into our homes. We Americans aren't as dumb as these left wing Dems think we are. We know when we're being duped by Obama's. He wants money. He doesn't want real people posing valid Q's cuz he's afraid of hurting his image when he HAS to explain why he's breaking promises. Period.

  • Absolute BS. That punk if he is not telling a lie, got a question from a so called Iranian, however, must likely CIA responding to him. And of course it is just full of crap and the question was written for him to ask. Obama also was just busted at a Town Hall meeting with a women saying see was homeless, Obama called her to stage for a huge and said his staff would look into her case, well, turned out she was a plant and worked on his campain. All liars.

  • Dana is such a joke, I hope to see him on the street one day I will show him how funny I think he is

  • What a yawn fest. Oh, well.

  • so what if some guy was called before hand to ask a question on a topic. As long as he wasnt told what to say(which nico was not) then who fucking cares? Obama wanted to be questioned on issues with Iran and NIco did just that. But you stupid cons are still crying your eyes about every little small stupid ass thing. No wonder the republican party lost alot of seats in congress. Obama is still a greater president than McCain ever would have been.

  • Mike before you call people stupid get your facts straight. you're a typical left wing hate nut. Obama is bankrupting this country. He proposed Crap & Trade/Energy bill for 1 reason: He is kissing GE's ass for payback time. GE funded his campaign. GE stands to gain billions IF his bill is passed. MSNBC is on GE's payroll & they refuse to report how cunning Obama is bc GE also OWNS Obama now. Wake up Dems & smell the BS. I'm not spewing hate. I'm stating facts. You should try it some time, Mike.

  • Open and transparent, eh?

    Only a a brainwashed cult member would believe it at this point.

  • who cares?

  • like slipping into a warm bath

  • that fagget DANA has a girls name....

  • The news media is waking up to the empty suit in the white house: the punk that is our president. And now I hear someone has his birth certificate from a hospital in Mombasa Kenya. You idiots voted for this Marxist and now we see that what we predicted is coming true. If there is categorical evidence that this man is not eligible to be president, the news media, congress, and the courts are guilty of treason. The whole election would be sham and we will have to do as they did in Honduras.

  • Nico doesn't get it. He was chosen to ask a question, others were not chosen to ask a question. That's the point. Maybe he gets it, but he may think admitting it may damage him more than 'staying the course'. Tries to win the debate even when he loses the truth.

  • 100% CORRECT!

  • JESUS is back

    click me. see who HE is.

  • Newspapers are becoming irrelvant and their reporters/writers are becoming jealous of bloggers.

  • Seriously, who cares. People, Michael Jackson is dead.

  • ok, what's more important... someone who's already moved on to a better place or suffering nations?

  • Comment removed

  • nico IDIOT

    this has nothing to do with the fact we are all being sold down the drain!!!

  • 1:19 defermation of character....

    if your wrong or stupid....you must attack the opposition

  • This is fucking boring

  • journalism is dead.

  • I agree.

  • Wednesday July 1st 2009.

    Your about 20 years behind.

    journalism is shit...for about 40 yrs neow.

  • WOW! two homo's battling it out! Both are lefty hacks, not journalists so who Fcares.

  • This equation has no solution.

  • So if the guy is not happy with Nico's asking the question, why does not he go directly to Obama and ask him why he chose Nico's question? They are all the same. All the media wannabe journalists are all lame. Fighting over a stupid thing.

  • Al-qaeda is a zionist Freemasonic created entity. Like "communism" al-qaeda was designed to give the masses of the world an "enemy" that the mass media needed to hype up and give credibility so the media's masters of Freemasonry could sell weapons to both sides and profit through war. Freemasons worship the Talmud because the Talmud idolizes Solomon who killed for Profit and idolizes David who killed for Power. These Israeli idols were created by a Babylonian prisoner, infant killer & sociopath.

  • Everything you say is interesting fiction man. Just a bunch of conspiracy theories. I'm not denying Al-qaeda to be created by the west, but come on. :)

  • By dumbing down the masses by taking truth out of schoolbooks and spreading ignorance through "religions" that push the ridiculous idea of invisible sky men promising them wealth and peace once they're dead and buried, the Freemasons have been allowed to steal the wealth of the masses and weaken the masses. Zionist Freemasons financed Lenin's terrorist attack on Russia's middle class. Those zionist tools went to Germany to do the same. They then came to America to rob the middle class.

  • so what

  • this argument is to stupid.

    No point in this, It's not even a big a deal.

    well then CNN must of had nothing to do

    so they just got these 2 clowns to do an act

  • Nico Pitney is no clown. He is a rock-solid liberal journalist. That is what scares sock puppets like Milbank so much. Pitney sat in the middle of all of those corporate shills, and actually asked an incisive question.

  • Who's the real corporate shills?

    Isn't everyone a corporate shill in journalism?

    Truly, journalism is supposed to be independent of any outside influences.

    Nico got caught red-handed and Dana called him out on it.

    Unless you have been a journalist, you can understand.

  • The Freemason bankers and politicians y pit people against one another in religious wars. Most nations are controlled by Freemasons. The leaders benefit financially by killing the masses in "religious" wars. They use the mass media to perjure others and play up differences, inciting hate to justify illegal masonic wars. Vietnam was a slaughterfest designed by Freemasons, conceived by Kissinger to be a zionist victory. Zionist Freemasons armed both sides & created "communism" for others to fight.

  • After sinking the Titanic, the Federal Reserve Bank was formed on Jekyll Island with the intention of robbing Americans from the inside, bribing Federal Judges, bribing and framing politicians. Hoover spied on JFK, Kissinger ordered the hit as a banker's tool and as an industrialist's tool. These Freemasons are in the opium, oxycontin, pot and cocaine business. They oppress the labor force so they can steal more. They rob the US Treasury through the FRB which serves as their Trojan Horse.

  • Hoover likely fired the 1st bullet into JFK's back. He ran the FBI and spied on everyone, even on all congress persons. He would've been the one to know that JFK was asking Americans to fight the Freemason banker at the Federal Reserve Bank and to know that he'd printed currency to put the illegal FRB bankers out of business. The FRB killed John Astor and Ben Guggenheim onboard the Titanic because they opposed the FRB formation and opposed the Freemasons' 1st World War.

  • Dana Milbank is a jealous limpdick.

  • JFK asked for our help in fighting the secret society, Freemasons whose Skull & Bones symbol has the number 322 under it. 3+2+2=7. 7 is their lucky number because Freemason profit from war. Freemason bankers started the two World Wars. World Bank president Wolfowitz was the Iraq invasion "architect." Banker Goldman Sachs financed Hilter. Kissinger who likely ordered the hit on JFK is a Rothchild banker tool who works out of the AP/Rockefeller Plaza where they control the media and block truth.

  • Obomba is a Freemason's tool. Freemasons killed JFK. Hoover or Kissinger ordered the hit because JFK exposed the secret society criminally overrunning America. They killed him because he printed money that would put the criminal Federal Reserve Bank out of business. The FRB sunk the Titanic to form the FRB and start WWI. Freemasons profit from war, religious war. Freemason Albert Pike wrote about 3 world wars, the 3rd one designed to scapegoat Islam. JFK's death car was blue - a Freemason color.

  • It less a softball question than it was a very very slow rolling bowling ball. One a child could throw.

    If you want real news, go to the JFK pages. Look at Geraldo Rivera's clip of the 1st gunman hitting JFK's back. JFK is hit and raises his arms. Then see a bobharris77 video of the 2nd gunman who's behind Jackie on the grass. He's aiming his gun at JFK's neck. Then go to other video and see the 3rd gunman on the staircase. Citizen's give chase up the stairs. It wasn't Oswald. It's a cover-up.

  • Why does any think that journalists were ever objective? They have agendas just like anyone else. And screw Clinton, he cut the feet right out from under those of us that served when he was in office. At least when a republican is in office those in harms way get a decent wage.

  • Left-brained shill. No surprise.

  • They are arguing about which one of these "reporters" are more in the bag with Obama, the one that colluded with the administration or the one that has gay love for Obama.

    The media will be held accountable for this fucking silly bullshit, OBAMA HAS QUADRUPLED OUR DEBT/PRINTED A TRILLION DOLLARS and that's just off the top of my head (but I, not a reporter) so I can see shit this fool does.

  • Obama is a hack. Send him back to Africa.

    Damn socialist puppet really wants to be a fascist dictator.

  • just by lookin at the comments you can tell being either republican or democrat have hatred for eachother they both have good and bad views on things but they got beef with eachother like bloods and crips lol. Damn shame it just shows that they both wrong.

  • so Obama had a question set up for him . Big Deal.. It's no different than all the main media outlets fawning all over him. He's got the media locked up so they won't say a bad thing about him. Nico should just admit it and move on. Because the Hufington post kisses Obama's ass Nico got a great place in the press conference and had a softball question for the president. BIG F'IN DEAL.

  • GOP:

    The party of No

    The party of Torture

    The party of Racism

    The party of Economic Collapse

  • "under Clinton's watch..." are you fucking serious??

    under clinton, 6 million new jobs were created in just his first two years.

    he cut taxes on 15 million low-income families and made tax cuts available to 90 percent of small businesses, while raising taxes on just 1.2 percent of the wealthiest taxpayers.

    he signed the largest deficit reduction plan in history, reducing it by 600 billion. the deficit went down three years in a row for the first time.

    what did bush accomplish?????

  • single handedly fucking over the United States.

  • Go Nico,

    Jealousy is been displayed by your peers.

    Unfair? Please!!!!!!!!!!!

  • reports say the humanitarian vessel Spirit of Humanity has been attacked and boarded by the Israelis 23 miles off the coast of Gaza. Former US Congresswoman and Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney is among the 21 human rights workers taken prisoner off the ship.

  • So much for objectivity in the press. May it rest in peace.

  • Gooooo Bloggers....real journalist for the 21st century.

  • And on this day, Dana Milbank learned that a reporter can communicate with their audience to form a question...  what a smarmy dipshit.

  • And on this day, I found out you are a major dipshit :)

  • Plus you proved all those folks wrong when they claimed you had a learning disability. I knew you had it in you, little partner! Keep up the marginal effort!

  • Obama loves me This I know CNBC tells me so Many lies He does tell So he can just Go to hell Yes Barack loves me Yes Barack loves me Yes Barack loves me He steals the whole show
  • On Feb 9, 2009, President Obama held his first press conference, fielding questions live in prime time on all of the major TV networks.

    The Huffington Post correspondent asked President Obama for his opinion about a potential "truth and reconciliation" commission to investigate the torture policies of the Bush administration.

    Michael Fletcher of the Washington Post asked for the President's reaction to Alex Rodriguez's steroid use.

    And people wonder why print journalism is a dying industry.

  • Dana the US has laid siege to Iran for 30 years. In 1953 CIA coup of Mosseddeq then installs Shah of Iran. Recently (March 2007)Congress voted $120 M for anti-regime media broadcasts into Iran and $60M in funding for opposition, violent underground Marxists and restive groups as Azeris, Kurds, Arabs under the "Iran Democracy Program". Pakistani intelligence sources put the CIA's recent spending on "black operations" to subvert Irans government at $400 million. No wonder Iran hates US.

  • Kurtz is such a linty ball of useless shit.

    The setup: Milbank, some Moonie Times robot & Pitney (& why exactly are they all made to sit in ea others laps? Short on spare chairs or something?).

    And mind you, this Springer-like cage-fight setup is rationalized as "media criticism".

    Then, before the predictably high-heat, low-light bickering can turn substantive, Kurtz says,

    'take it outside; I want the quasi-fascist disinformation peddler here to weigh in'.

    For 'balance', of course.

  • the truth is most iranians are very nice and are the most affluent minority in the USA. Its sad when they are misunderstood by such a large majority of the world (PS all my iranian friends are rioting in LA, seriously)

  • get a haircut nico....

  • Does no one remember the gay hooker the Bush Administration planted in the press corp?

    Pitney is a serious working blogger doing the BEST reporting on Iran that exists right now.

  • MSM is all pissed because they are going out of business, put out of business by people who will work for free because they actually give a shit about democracy. The fourth estate died in the MSM when they went corporate tabloid years ago. Long live the fourth estate in the blogosphere!

  • Ha ha, Dana should have covered his notes so Nico couldn't copy!

  • Why is that dude w/ the glasses leaning in so close? It's creepy. Gawd what a creep!!

  • LOL at Dana reading Nico's email. Dana is such a little bitch, I love it.

  • whine whine whine is all the neocons do these days: "Booohoooo daddy likes you better than me!!!"

  • I would totally punch that guy with the glasses in the face multiple times.

  • Pass a bill to stop politicians influence over the press! Obama you stand against everything that made America beautiful!

  • It seems like you're about to break into song...

  • dude with the glasses is a cvnt.

  • nico you sound like a shady liar. don't represent our side if you can't even lie well

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA omg good one. I don't like either websites, but the Post is better

  • Waaaah waaaaah!

  • It's so strange that EVERY W H Press conference CNN, FOX, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, ask 1 or even 2 or 3 questions and they are in the main row, but once the W H decided that it was much more interesting to get a question directly coming from Iranians through a blog .... the BIG BOYS of the press they feel neglected. What a bunch of buffoons!!!

  • The Obama adminsitration CLEARLY showed favoritism to this "reporter" ...

  • Look at the avalanche of shill accounts running to support Arianna Huffington / Barry Soetoro.

    What's the matter Barry? Can't find any honest people who support you BS? This is typical diplomacy from Barry, 'find the biggest sell out reporter he can find to ask prearranged questions.'

    Nice job Mr Milbank, all of these shills are just strengthening your point and their fear stinks.

  • I resisted

  • compliance.

  • So true.

  • GO BACK TO THINKPROGRESS YOU IDIOT!

  • I think it's great that wing nuts like you are standing up for Milbank.  Just more proof roof of how the WP's editorial policy has destroyed the paper.

  • Funny that a neocon Iraqi War supporter like Milbank, who writes for a washed-up beltway newspaper like the Washington Post, would accuse Nico of collusion with the administration. Milbank is just bitter that people continue to confuse him with Charles Krauthammer.

  • lmao Nico Pitney is an IDIOT

  • In opening the door, it appears new concepts are welcomed. However, we must examine things further. For instance, if a Native American Reservation wanted to run a nuclear power plant in New Mexico (like a casino), we need to make something clear. Nuclear power is volitale, and is NOT 'green', and should not be perceived as an acceptable option. Solar Power has unlimited, obvious potential. Solar Power plants are progress. Nuclear Power is a time bomb. We must do everything right at this point.

  • A "Nico" and a "Dana" arguing like a couple of third grade girls ... wow ...

  • Obama owns the media ... folks better wake up and think for themselves instead of the garbage coming from the alphebet networks, CNN, MSNBC, etc. What a bunch of blowhard echo chambers!

  • So, according to you, anyone who criticizes the extremist right wing government of Avigdor Lieberman and Netanyahu, hates Israel.

  • 3:02 fakest laugh ever

  • Both jealous journalists were owned at 5:09 .

    They are both seething even though Obama dodged the question he supposedly "staged" using Nico.

  • Milbank gets owned and deservedly so.

  • he forgot to say that Obama is saint incapeble to do anything wrong and that he can read minds

  • lebihus00 - and that's he's a secret muslim, don't forget that.

  • Really? That's fucking awesome!! Obama has supa powers. How could someone forget that?

  • Dana Dana Dana you sad, stupid man.

  • Open letter to Dana Milbank,

    H.G. Wells said "Adapt or perish, (because it) is nature's inexorable imperative". .Dana, please go back to Praising W.'s "Mission Accomplished" sign 6 years ago.

  • Why is Amanda Carpenter there?

  • Milbank is obviously a jealous little whinger.

    So is that little chick, whoever she is!

  • Little Dana must have been insufferable in grade school and high school. Oh god... He's such a little priggish tattletale!

  • Bear in mind that Milbank was FIRED from MSNBC (& NewsWeek?) for publishing a LIE from a (RW?) 3rd party source's hearsay, and refusing to correct or retract it, even though several of the Democrats in attendance refuted it!

    A REPUBLICAN told him that Obama said that it's all about HIM, at a closed-door Democratic caucus, when witnesses say he said just the opposite, is just bad, if not biased, reporting!

    ..

  • I'm still waiting for someone to tell me what's wrong with the White House calling up someone and saying "Hey guy covering Iran, we'd like a question on Iran during a Press Conference, come have a seat."

    It's as if Milbank forgot that not everyone actually gets to ask a question at a press conference. It's also as if Milbank et al forget that the quality of the question actually matters.

  • Great question. I wish they would have shown Obama's answer.

    Milbank is being small, like most of his counterparts in Washinington

  • I think pitney owned

  • LOL! That was classic. Milbank's unvarnished jealous has clearly colored his judgment. As far as Carpenter talking about "everyone should have equal access" -- right now that means people who work for a multi-billion or multi-million conglomerates should have "equal access". Anyone who understand journalism though realizes that Pitney's question was a solid question. Not exactly a "plant". As far as being "out of his depth" Pitney requited himself just fine.

  • Wow, Amanda Carpenter definitely left Pitney speechless at the end.

  • Translation?

  • Even if he never works in media again, I think this was a great question. It was an honest question. Iran's government will not give us an honest answer, and I doubt our Gov't will give an honest answer. In this case, it was the question.

    For the record, I honestly had hoped the Mousavi movement would have managed to turn things around. As things stand we have a really good president facing off against a real bad apple. A lot of older people are telling me this feels like JFK all over again.GBU

  • Nico was kind of out of his depth, but *man* did Dana come off like a schmuck in this segment.

  • By who Dana Millbank? You're kidding me. Dana came across as desperate, jealous, bitter, old, and trying to hold on to that last minute of credibility he never had. Nico never claimed any of that, which is why he made Dana Millbank look like the tool he is. Why the Post still employs him is beyond me. Olbermann caught him in a lie, Dana celebrated mission accomplished and now he is swirling the commode like a dead roach. As far as the woman goes, she's about as irrelevant as any on the right .

  • I'd like to know what was up with Pitney's blatant non-sequitur.

  • Pitney was pointing out Milbank's hypocrisy. e.g. Milbank's interview with candidate Obama were about petty and stupid subjects -- which is kind of Milbank's schtick. The guy who works for HuffPost, on the other hand, actually asked a substantive ques. Ultimately what matters is not who a person works for, but whether they ask questions that are relevant. Is a question relevant and about a consequential issue; or is the question about irrelevant and petty issues? That's what matters.

  • Is that what Rush told you?

  • Obama is creating hyperinflation and soon the US dollar will be worthless. You must see the new documentary Hyperinflation Nation it explains it all!

  • WOW he got owned on live T.V. That gots ta suck LOL.

  • There's been more news about Iran from Nico than from CNN.

    I think CNN is just jealous over the fact that internet bloggers get more audience than their obsolete TV reporting.

    Nico is not following the usual "AP reporter - correspondent - news reporter" line that is why he's under fire.

    Because 24 hour MJ coverage is more important to CNN than Neda and Iran.  That is why people are reading Nico's blog and not watching CNN.

  • So now Obama hates white people wow do you think he is going to do a song bashing his WHITE mother like M&M did?.

  • dana = dickwhisperer!

  • search #dickwhisperer on twitter man, its all over the place. also, obama didn't even answer nico's question, so apparently obama kept his zipper up.

  • UTubes07, I agree 100%,

    Everybody knows that people who disagree with Republicans are fascist socialist marxist communist leftist acornists.

    What these unpatriotic enemies of America do not understand is that Republicans are always 100% correct, on every issue, every time.

    DemocRATs, however, are consistently 100% wrong on every issue, every time.

    It is common knowledge that ANYONE who disagrees with Republicans is unable to think for themselves.

    Great Job, Republican Patriot!

  • interestingly enough, i do have a tattoo on my eyes -- it says "ziiiinnnngg" because your comebacks have singed me for life.

  • Obama works for the enslavement of all americans. cuz he is a puppet of the federal reserve. Obama was elected by the power of the media, he was born in Kenya and given his first job by kissinger, he then gave kissinger a job in the white house, and kumar. the federal reserve runs and contols the world. thanx buash clinton obama the world is now the feds

  • Did you actually listen to the question? It was one of the toughest questions anyone has asked the President on the Iranian situation. He actually had to dodge it cos he didn't have an answer.

    Why would someone working for the White House ask a question that makes the president look bad?.

  • ... because he crowdsourced a question?

    Jesus Christ, you're stupid.
