Jack Blanchard at Politico's Playbook newsletter made the leftists angry by praising President Donald Trump's energetic availability to the press. While CBS star Scott Pelley wailed at a college commencement that they are "the fierce defenders of democracy," "the seekers of truth" and "the vanguard against ignorance," Trump grants them access.

Blanchard wrote on May 28 that by lunchtime, "it will have been 48 hours since Donald Trump stepped in front of a TV camera for a speech or Q&A -- the first time that's happened (outside of the weekends) since he returned to the White House on Jan. 20. Whatever your politics, that's a remarkable record of public availability, especially when compared to his famously sheltered predecessor."

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S TOP MEDIA MOMENTS AND CLASHES OVER FIRST 100 DAYS

Former President Joe Biden was hidden away from the press for four years, and this never drew angry commencement speeches -- because Scott Pelley was eager to please Team Biden, which allowed him to join the other privileged Biden softball-throwers like Drew Barrymore and Ryan Seacrest. He didn't seem to grasp how they make him look by association.

Blanchard infuriated the Biden boosters by arguing "the Joe Biden experience shows just how important it is that leaders are held up to regular scrutiny. Trump's answers may sometimes be rambling, erratic -- or even downright unpleasant -- but every American voter can see where he's at."

This is where the Pelleys scream, "But he lies! All the lies!" They will try to sully all this acceptance of hostile questions by disparaging all the answers as dangerous blather.

Brian Stelter, and Oliver Darcy, and their partisan squad adored Pelley's lecture, but ignored what Blanchard pointed out. They should just deal with his count: "A quick trawl through the archives suggests Trump 2.0 has done media on 111 of his 138 days back in office -- an 80 percent hit rate that includes weekends and must put him on course to being just about the most-accessible president in modern history."

When Trump accepts a hostile interview on NBC's "Meet the Press," it's actually used by NBC to congratulate itself. Incoming "Nightly News" anchor Tom Llamas told an interviewer he accepted this battle "because he knows he's going to get a fair shake. It's because Kristen Welker has done a masterful job of helping Americans get information and being fair with President Trump."

Trump was sparring with Welker in real time, telling her it was unfair to raise the prospect of empty store shelves in the midst of his global trade disputes. "This is such a dishonest interview already," he said. But he accepted it. How many times did Biden appear on "Meet the Press"? None, but nobody cares.

They would rather fuss about Trump fighting back against the press by his lawsuits and threats of regulatory scrutiny at the FCC. None of these arrogant media partisans grasp that they boosted every ounce of regulatory scrutiny and lawsuits and lawfare against Trump over the last eight years. Every Trump-trashing tactic they support is automatically defined as "democracy" and "truth-seeking."

Archaeologists recently excavated an ancient workshop in Greece, revealing a trove of unfinished projects and other curiosities. 

The project was announced by Greece's Ministry of Culture in a Facebook post in May. In a statement translated from Greek to English, officials said the excavation took place at the Floga archaeological site, which is on the Greek island of Paros.

Though the workshop didn't come as a surprise to officials – archaeologists have been studying the site since the mid-1980s – excavators uncovered numerous intriguing finds during the latest dig.

Specifically, the investigation brought "new architectural remains" to light, plus various eating vessels and storage items.

"Some of [the architectural remains] are founded on earlier constructions, documenting the site's continuous use over time," the statement said. "The latest remains are connected to earlier phases dating from the late 5th to the 4th century BC."

The press release added, "The movable finds from the earlier installation (fragments of vessels, mainly tableware for eating and drinking, and fewer utilitarian or storage items) document the residential use of the site during the Classical period."

Archaeologists also uncovered new rooms at the complex, noting the walls were preserved at an "impressive height."

The recently uncovered artifacts at the site included unfinished marble sculptures, clay stamps and various fragments of pottery.

"The movable finds are of exceptional interest, including semi-finished marble sculptures, mainly of Aphrodite, clay heads of female figures, as well as clay molds and stamps, while a very large quantity of pottery was collected," the statement said.

Based on their observations, archaeologists found that the site was reorganized at the end of the third century B.C., serving as both a residential space and a sculpture workshop.

"The discovery of a room with a pebble floor and sections of wall painting imitating marble slabs, identified as an andron (men's room), reinforces this interpretation," the statement said.

"However, the extensive layer of marble chips deposited in the courtyard, covering the earlier phases, and the large number of semi-finished sculptures, document the additional use of the site as a sculpture workshop."

Ancient Greek discoveries are of high interest to archaeologists. 

Earlier this spring, a German university announced that the lecture hall of an "impressive high school" from an Ancient Greek settlement was uncovered.

Last summer, divers searched a 2,000-year-old shipwreck in the Aegean Sea and found around 300 historical objects.
