White House Reporters Hammer Jay Carney Over Photographer Access

White House reporters almost shouted down press secretary Jay Carney on Thursday as they protested the limited access that photographers are given to President Obama.

Correspondents from several news outlets fired questions at, Carney demanding an explanation for why restrictions placed on photographers seem to be significantly tighter for the Obama administration.

"Our problem is the access," one correspondent said. "You can put out a million pictures a day from White House photographers, but you bar--"

Carney quickly interrupted her, claiming that the White House is "working on expanding access where we can."

The crowd erupted again.

"Hold on--," Carney said. "Hey, hey guys!"

“Do you acknowledge that this White House has provided less access than previous White Houses,” ABC News' Jonathan Karl asked Carney.

“In my experience as a reporter-- now, I wasn’t a photographer-- the answer to that is I completely reject it," Carney said.
