I don't agree, newspapers want questions answered, that's there livelihood. I don't see a scenario where it benefits the NYT for the administration to withhold information

I was being a bit hyperbolic but the fact remains the NYT is MASSIVELY biased in favor of the Left. It is an indisputable fact.

Okay, they can be as biased as hell, they are still going to want questions answered, access to information. That's what they need to run their business.

Here is politico blowing holes in obama being media friendly. I don't see it as a left wing right wing issue. Reporters are trying to do a job. An administration withholding information makes that difficult no matter your politics

. Obama and the media actually have a surprisingly hostile relationship — as contentious on a day-to-day basis as any between press and president in the past decade, reporters who cover the White House say.

Reporters say the White House is thin-skinned, controlling, eager to go over their heads and stingy with even basic information. All White Houses try to control the message. But this White House has pledged to be more open than its predecessors, and reporters feel it doesn’t live up to that pledge in several key areas

Looked at the article, it is pretty blistering. And personal to the Times
"Mr. Biden has granted far fewer press conferences and sit-down interviews with independent journalists than virtually all of his predecessors. It is true that The Times has sought an on-the-record interview with Mr. Biden, as it has done with all presidents going back more than a century. If the president chooses not to sit down with The Times because he dislikes our independent coverage, that is his right, and we will continue to cover him fully and fairly either way," it added
If Biden is so cozy with the Times why won't he talk to them?

Reading about Jane Fonda, she turned down Dr Zhivago, that's got to be one of the worst career moves by an actor ever. Thought I'd put it here since I'm there's a bunch of Jane Fonda fans here

It's always interesting to me, the iconic film roles and the actors that it could have been before they happened on the perfect one. They tried burt Lancaster in the spy that came in from the cold but he couldn't master a British accent, so they had to settle for Richard Burton. That's as nutty as Jane Fonda over Julie Christie
