Malkin: The content of Obama's off-the-record meeting with liberal journalists 'ought to be disclosed.'
On Monday, President Obama met with liberal-leaning journalists and commentators in an off-the-record session that included MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow. Reporting on the meeting that night, Fox News' Bret Baier suggested the White House had a "double standard" and was "playing favorites" after the White House had challenged Fox's credibility as a news organization. On Fox and Friends this morning, host Brian Kilmeade and Fox contributor Michelle Malkin demanded that the off-the-record session be put on-the-record for the American people.
As Crooks and Liars' Susie Madrak notes, the complainers at Fox appear to be "suffering from memory loss" about President Bush's many off-the-record chats with conservative columnists and radio hosts, including Fox News personalities Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and Glenn Beck. Additionally, they seem to forget that Obama shared an off-the-record dinner with conservative columnists, including Fox contributors Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol and Paul Gigot, before his Inauguration. Malkin should note that the dinner lasted two-and-half-hours.

Every time I turn around there is another example of the blatant hypocrisy being displayed by those of the Right-wing. Then I have to "scratchhead: in wonderment if they really believe what they are saying or doing and if they are really serious about it, or maybe they are just as dumb and pathetic as they seem?
