Obama First President To Call on Blogger During Primetime Press Conference

Is the biggest news out of last night’s Obama presser the fact that Huffington Post blogger Sam Stein was able to get a question? Maybe. Politico’s Michael Calderone writes, “there’s been a fair amount of Kremlinology taking place among media watchers over the significance of Obama calling on a left-leaning online site over some traditional news outlets.”

The Obama presser is among several topics discussed on today’s Morning Media Menu podcast featuring CNN’s Rick Sanchez.

UPDATE: FishbowlNY speaks with HuffPo’s Stein.
