I was watching C-SPAN today and Tony Snow was having a little "sit-down" with the Washington press corps. It got me thinking: first, "I'm a big dork; I'm watching C-SPAN" and second, they made a big point about how they're not really so adversarial in real life.
I guess it even makes sense to me. I understand that my best path to success with a customer is to be their ally, but that didn't stop me tonight taking a younger colleague out to dinner tonight to find out the political situation, who controls the money, who's having problems, who doesn't like us, and that sort of thing at my new client. That's my job. And the Washington press corps doesn't even have the incentive to serve the White House.
