Some Press Briefing Transcripts Missing From WhiteHouse.gov Website

February 12th, 2009 11:23 AM

Update (16:53): The February 4-6 briefings have since been added to the archive page.

A total of five daily press briefings, including one documenting a testy February 5 exchange (embedded at right) between Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and ABC's Jake Tapper,  are missing from the White House press briefings page (h/t e-mail tipster Abby Bender; see Feb. 12 screencap here).

As you may recall, we at NewsBusters noted how the White House initially failed to archive and prominently feature its press briefings on the official WhiteHouse.gov Web site.
