Dionne says media went out of their way to cover town-hall meeting noise and ignored the calmer -- or "boring," from TV's point of view -- encounters between elected representatives and their constituents. (h/t Romanesko) WEST WING REPORTAGE Is the media's love affair with President Obama's White House over?
