House Speaker John Boehner (click title to entry - thank you) today House members that they may no longer use military aircraft for domestic or international trips because of forced spending cuts imposed by the looming sequester, set to go into effect Friday.
The move effectively puts on hold so-called “CODELS” or congressional delegation travel, often overseas, which regularly involves military aircraft and has to be approved by the Speaker.
Jessica Yellin also started the gotcha question about skeet shooting. So, the entire scope of questions at times seems more trivial pursuit than actual journalism, but, there is that 'odd' messaging in the viewership of CNN and FOX. So, in an off-handed way the Yellin questions are important to those seeking tabloid journalism in place of facts and information. Whether that has merit in White House Press discourse is the question. Does the National Enquirer have White House press credentials?
But, the House Speaker uses commercial airlines to travel and now is demanding the House members to stop seeking free travel on military transports.
