“Nine local TV anchors got the full Cinderella treatment from the White
House, on a day that one likened to ‘a whirlwind,'” according to the Los Angeles Times.
“Yes,
they interviewed the president in the Cabinet Room on Tuesday. But they
also got lunch with the president’s top political advisor, David
Plouffe; an on-camera tour of the White House main floor in the company
of a curator; a visit to First Lady Michelle Obama’s garden on the South
Lawn; an interview with a White House aide from their home
market… Press SecretaryJay Carney skipped over some of the national
press to make sure the out-of-town guests got a question at the daily
briefing.”
