Speaking with reporters today, Josh Earnest talked about who the White House tries to be “transparent” with (and who they don’t):

.@PressSec is telling a room full of reporters right now that they're the only ones who care about transparency for transparency's sake

Whaaat?

@PressSec says "the only real constituency" for transparency in government is the news media. Voters care about other factors. :-/

And the White House isn’t even transparent with the media, so Earnest was extra shameless today.
