Journalist Groups Write a Letter to Josh Earnest About White House Transparency
"We believe the problems outweigh what you are calling accomplishments."
At the end of August, White House press secretary Josh Earnest wrote a good ol’ fashioned letter to the editor in response to an earlier column from New York Times Mediator columnist Jim Rutenberg. The article wasn’t about the White House, but was a criticism of the access, or lack thereof, that Hillary Clinton provides to journalists.
But the headline was Plane Rides and Presidential Transparency, and Earnest felt there was a presidency that should have received some recognition, writing that Rutenberg “did not acknowledge the important and unprecedented steps that the Obama administration has taken to fulfill the president’s promise to lead the most transparent White House in history.”
