Another one. You dumb fucks.

Favoured reporter during White House press conferences has no credentials, no history, and reprints White House press releases verbatim. Oh, and his paycheques come from the Republican Party.

Reports show that this "reporter" is often called upon to provide relief from unpleasant lines of questioning and to divert discussion away from issues the administration is embarassed about. Since providing a permanent "hard card" puts your credentials on public record, the administration has given this particular guy "daily passes" daily for the last few years running, since those can be given to anyone for any reason.

Edit: And now, a link to examples of the questions the plant asks when he's called on to make an inflammatory and distracting statement

Another Edit:
The Daily Show takes this on. Jon Stewart = the funny.
