Gibbs Up for Reinvention?
He's been the Obama administration's press mouthpiece for nearly two years now, but speculation has it that Robert Gibbs could be heading for a career shift. Might that have something to do with his recent truth-telling tear?

TRUTHDIG’S JOURNALISM REMAINS CLEARThe Washington Post:
First, Gibbs infuriated House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Ca.) by acknowledging something that is true every two years – that the party in control of the House could lose control of it after the midterm elections.
[…] Then this week Gibbs unloaded on the “professional left” – that is, the cable television punditry disappointed that Obama has not lived up to their more-liberal-than-he-is expectations. In an interview with The Hill, he called for some of them to be “drug-tested.”
Was he right, in his way, that the left has at times judged Obama’s record more by its failures than its successes? Almost certainly, yes.
The storytellers of chaos tried to manipulate the political and media narrative in 2025, but independent journalism exposed what they tried to hide.
When you read Truthdig, you see through the illusion.
