Will Obama condescend to meet with media hacks?

"Speculation is growing that President Obama will hold a press conference Friday, the day before he leaves for Martha’s Vineyard, and give the press some reassurance that, gosh, he still cares," writes Keith Koffler at White House Dossier "Obama rarely takes questions from White House reporters anymore, in any venue. The last press conference he held was more than three months ago, on April 30.
His last three Q&A sessions seem almost designed to ridicule and diminish the White House press corps. After appearing for a substantive interview Wednesday evening with veteran jokester Jay Leno, Obama sat down the next day with Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff to field questions from homeowners.
