For general discussion and debate. Possible talking point: are media already getting frustrated with President Obama?

A growing media frustration with Barack Obama’s team spilled into the open at Thursday’s briefing, with reporters accusing the White House of stifling access to his oath re-do and giving Obama’s first interview as president to a multi-million dollar inauguration sponsor.

Is this genuine, or isolated? Is it possible for an Obama-loving media member to turn on his or her object of affection, or is this wishful thinking by those sickened by the lovefest?
