Great National Reporters Thinking Alike

April 20, 2010

Via Twitter, CNN political producer Peter Hamby shares these nuggets about a conference call this morning with reporters, Marco Rubio (Florida Republican Senate candidate), and House Republican Whip Eric Cantor (who today endorsed Rubio):

Notoriously press averse Rubio has conference call with national reporters but doesn’t get one Q from reporters. Everything went to Cantor[.]

And:

Cantor now has taken three questions so far about what he “thinks” about [Republican Governor and Senate candidate Charlie] Crist mulling an independent bid.

Has America ever needed a media defender more than now? Help us by joining CJR today.
