Obama goes ahead with infrastructure speech that no one who isn’t present will ever see or read about.
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) July 17, 2014
Please keep in mind Peter Baker here is the NYT's White House correspondent. It's apparently not his job as White House correspondent to cover the fact the President is giving a speech on our mutli-billion dollar infrastructure shortfall, and that 700,000 jobs are at stake should the Federal Highway Fund go dry due to Republicans not being too concerned about keeping it alive.
It's not newsworthy because hey, plane crash in Ukraine. 700,000 jobs? That's not newsworthy at all. So we have the NYT's point person at the White House bemoaning that the President's speech won't get covered.
If only some sort of news organization could do something about that.

Says it all.
Hey, it's not like our bridges are falling down and our steam tunnels are erupting in the middle of the street. Nobody dies while Obama - what's that? People actually ARE dying, from infrastructure collapse, right there in NEW YORK FUCKING CITY? Home of the New York Times?
This guy has got to be the most incurious, incompetent clown to disgrace the White House Press Corp since Jeff Gannon the cock-headed man whore was uncovered during the Bush administration.
you are absolutely correct, Zander in your assessment of this scheme
