Many political reporters and journalists are calling out President Obama for his pretentious lecturing on how to do their jobs.
The President rebuked members of the media in a speech on Monday accusing them of superficial reporting and not holding politicians accountable for promises they can’t keep.

Journalists and commentators struck back at the president by pointing out the hypocrisy of his calling them to a higher standard.

CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller:

Huffington Post’s Sam Stein weighed in as well:

While the Washington Post’s Callum Borchers said Obama is complicit in the media problem.
