Cantor Dims Pen & Pad Amid Chaotic Complaining. But First, a Visit from CBS "60 Minutes'" Lesley Stahl.

Politico‘s Jake Sherman reports today that House Maj. Leader Eric Cantor is considering nixing his weekly pen-and-pad for reporters and choosing select journalists for “smaller interviews.” He writes that the possibility comes after a multitude of complaints on what Cantor’s office is calling “mundane issues” from reporters, meaning media complaints about one another. He quotes a female aide, Laena Fallon, who Sherman peculiarly refers to as a “Cantor spokesman.”

All the complaining may end up doing all reporters who cover GOP Leadership a disservice.
