Study: 330% More Laughter At Snow's Press Conferences Than McClellan's

yeah, we know why they are laughing :rofl:

Covering the White House is not an easy beat. The hours are late, the travel can be brutal and the tug-of-war between the White House spin machine and journalists can wear down even the toughest reporter.

But White House spokesman Tony Snow, who has been on the job four months, might very well be out to change all of that and to put the “fun” back in “fundamentally, a frustrating job.”

Yeas & Nays reviewed the press briefing and press gaggle transcripts from Snow’s first four months on the job and compared them to those of Snow’s predecessor, Scott McClellan, during his first four months.

Under Snow, there were more than 330 percent more instances of laughter — as defined by the transcriber’s insertion of “(Laughter)” in the transcript — than under McClellan.

Have reporters fallen for the former Fox News commentator’s woo and charm? And — gasp! — could Snow actually be making the notoriously curmudgeonly task of covering the White House fun?

That's the question. Perhaps his answers are just more ludicrous than McClellan was.

:P

Is Tony Snow that funny looking????

It's all entertainment. It doesn't matter what they say or how much they lie or what questions anybody asks. So long as the press gets its laughs.

What a mess.
