I'm only a bit perturbed by reporters shouting out without being recognized by the President. My reaction to most of the comments supporting Munro are so bitterly mean that I'm not as concerned by Munro as by his "spokesmen" who could easily have entered a decent discussion about Munro's questions/statements. I am not only disappointed by the lack of just plain courtesy, but mainly about such egregiously biased hate speech. This is a very sad example of raving emotions rather than sharp minds engaged by a significant issue. What a waste.--George Sebouhian
Rugbyplayer! Now, now, don't be bitter. The anointed one needs to express his true self once in a while before the left wing media gets to slant it before it becomes public. One can always see through shallow, arrogant ans deceptive people. Don't sulk, it's true
If Barack would answer questions once in a while, there would be less of a need for a Neil Munro to jump in prematurely. Also, the question was valid, the response was snarkky.
If you call the Daily Caller a right wing station than you must add left-wing to this disgraceful president....
Two clowns: Hannity and Munro! And where else do clowns debut? On Fox News of course!
It may not have been the correct thing to do, interrupt the President. But it was such a treat to have a reporter throw him a hard ball question. The left wing media usually slobbers all over the President. We need more reporters throwing hard ball questions.
Shocking to see such behavior from someone who has the same name of my late Scots-Canadian Great Uncle Neil Munro. The surname Munro comes from a river in Ulster by the way.
SO the immigrant journalist from Ireland blasts the President for helping immigrants. Then the non-native blasts the president for a bill that will give rights to non-natives. Stay classy, Neil Munro.
Seems like we may have a media hot shot to replace the recently deceased Andrew Breitbart as the pesky right wing noise maker.
AengusOg. taking video, and audio in context is not a strong point of the media outlets, Eexamples. newt gingrich "medicaire will die on the vine" in context was We will make the medical support system so good that medicare will die on the vine. Example George Zimmerman I think he looks black, edited out was the question from the police dispatcher "what did he look like was he white , black?" The latest will be Mitt Romney and the Hoagie sandwich comment.
Watch the entire incident on YouTube. the President wasn't 'heckled'. Heckled means badgered. Mr. Munro interrupted the President once. The President had just said, very emphatically, "It's the right thing to do" at the 4:41 mark. Mr. M unro fired his question at the President immediately. If you are not blindly liberal, you could appreciate that the reporter merely jumped the gun. Mr. Munro did not repeat his error. As is his habit, the President did not field questions at the end of his statement, which lasted about 8 minutes. Watch the entire 8:50 of the address and draw your own conclusions. As for the word "Heckled" in the headline, any fair-minded reader knows that IC is not a 'no spin zone' and does not provide 'fair and balanced' reporting.
The thing I keep on seeing is this... "Former UCD student"...

Neil, as a UCD graduate I have to tell you, this is not cool.
The reporter forgets his place. The purpose of the gathering was to record a statement from the President of the United States, the most powerful personage on the planet, not to suffer the ill mannered interruption of an unknown reporter from an obscure publication.
Unfortunately, johnshiel, IC writers obviously do NOT "assiduously ID 'right wing' media outlets." If you click the "Associated Press" link on the IC article about Vatican leaks, you will arrive, without warning, at FOX News! The IC writer should have identified that link accurately. There are hundreds of Associated Press versions of the Vatican bank financial leaks story online--why give a disguised "right wing" source? If IC writers think the Daily Caller is right wing and FOX is not, then there can't be any "left wing" left to identify!
Does this really surprise anyone that FOX (the sewer) of news and distorted facts, would have this self seving opportunist Munro on the program? It's the perfect example of what Rupert,Roger and crew do.
