whitehouse.gov Finally Releases Transcripts of a Press Briefing - Sorta Kinda 1/26/09
— Monday, January 26, 2009 —
 After 4 days and 4 hours the whitehouse.gov web site finally released transcripts of a press briefing. Well, not exactly, as it turns out.
"Selected responses" to Monday's (1/26/09) Press Briefing at long last appeared on the blog portion of the White House web site in more of an apparent effort to control the narrative than to live up to the promise of open transparency much ballyhooed by the Obama Administration.
And if that weren't bad enough, the blog entry claims that White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' third press conference held today is his "second press briefing." Careless in small things, careless in great things.
So far, a major FAIL by the White House Press Office in providing information to the public in a timely and open manner.

The whole website has been turned into a propaganda sheet. Self-promotion is to be expected, but the Bush site was a working site too, with links to the real workings of government. For example, you can't get to OMB from the White House page anymore.
So, publishing only the useful press questions in a transcript is par for the Obama White House.
