Pitney-gate: Why Is Huffington Post Getting Called On At White House Pressers?

First I have to say it’s a teaser because I saw no mention of this story in the actual e-mail. Secondly, maybe it has something to do with the huge sum of money recently invested in the Huffington Post ($15 million!), money which didn’t come from the White House and the taxpayer.

Why not reward an American company that is out there doing it without asking for a bailout and a media company that isn’t about to go under? (see: American Newspapers) Now this isn’t the reason that Obama called on Pitney, it was because they knew he had a real question. But the above is just my 2 cents.
