White House Reporters' 6 Biggest Complaints About Robert Gibbs

The Washington Post's Jason Horowitz writes a long feature on White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs in Tuesday's paper. In the article, which hints at Gibbs' future role as a senior strategist in the Obama administration, Horowitz also highlights Gibbs' contentious relationship with the media that covers the White House.

"Listen to the press secretary talk about the media as a predictable, hyperventilating rabble obsessed with access and covering 'everything as make or break,' or observe his frustration percolating in the briefing room," Horowitz writes.

But Horowitz also includes a laundry list of reporters' least favorite things about the Press Secretary, though "none of them would speak for the record out of fear of retaliation." and reports that "[later] this month, representatives of various news organizations will meet with Gibbs to express what they feel is the administration's contempt for the press."
