Remember Scott's mini-battle with David, Man-of-the-people?

Here's the NY Times' take:

David Gregory, the NBC correspondent who has been among the most ardent questioners in the briefing room,apologized for yelling at Mr. McClellan over the Cheney incident but said the Situation had become particularly frustrating.

"There is a desire by some, particularly on the right, to morph these situations into a different kind of Debate -it's the vice President against an angry, left-wing, cynical, hate-filled press corps that wants to expose him as a liar," he said. "This is a false debate, stoked by a president and vice president who have made no bones about the fact that they don't have much respect for the press corps as an institution."

Martha Joynt Kumar, a political science professor at Towson University who studies relations between the president and the press, said ... the tensions were hardly new, but that the press was becoming more defensive in part because of the constant scrutiny under the lights.
