An announcement was released shortly after the interview was concluded that the reporter in question would not get another interview.
I guess Obama was pleased?
Fat fucken chance.
There was no White House announcement. The rumor came from an off the cuff remark made by White House communications director Dan Pfeiffer.
Pfeiffer was asked by Time reporter Michael Scherer, “So will WFAA's Brad Watson get another interview one day?”
Instead of quickly taking the high road, Pfeiffer suggested that Watson may truly be out in the cold after irritating the president. And he did it by revealing yet another trick of Washington communications: playing one news outlet against its rival.
“Right around the time we do our next interview with @TIME. I am kidding ... or am I. @Newsweek is on the other line,” Pfeiffer responded.
If President Obama decided not to do another interview with this fellow it is his perogative is it not?
