Earlier today, President Obama told an audience about "certain news channels" where he's not very popular, and during his third prime-time news conference, he called on all the major networks but one.
Similar to his first two East Room pressers, Obama called on 13 reporters.But unlike last time, the major newspapers got a chance to question the president.
Obama skipped around, too, and didn't follow the traditional White House protocol that begins with the wires before leading to the networks.
Here's the run-down: Jennifer Loven (Associated Press), Deb Price (Detroit News), Jake Tapper (ABC), Mark Knoller (CBS Radio), Chuck Todd (NBC), Jeff Mason (Reuters), Chip Reid (CBS), Ed Henry (CNN), Jeff Zeleny (New York Times), Lori Montenegro (Telemundo), Andre Showell (BET), Michael Scherer (Time), and Jonathan Weisman (Wall Street Journal).
Zeleny's question drew the most laughs, as he asked Obama for moments that "suprised," "troubled," "enchanted," and "humbled."
"Let me write this down," Obama said, forcing Zeleny to read through the list again.
