Share ThisSAVANNAH GUTHRIE, NBC’S ‘TODAY SHOW’: So you think its appropriate for the White House to say what is and what is not a news organization?
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: I think the American people are a lot more interested in what we’re doing to create jobs or how we’re handling the situation in Afghanistan.
GUTHRIE: Fair enough, but your advisers raised this issue.
OBAMA: Well no, the – I think that what our advisers simply said is, is that we are going to take media as it comes.
