Why Does Peter Baker Even Attend White House Briefings?

It's clear he's clairvoyant:

But if liberals see Obama as the bold Clinton, some moderates and conservatives worry that Obama is reversing his predecessor’s direction. Clinton sought to remake a broken party in a more centrist mold.


Of course, this is The New York Times, so Baker absolutely neglects to, you know, mention a single one of these alleged worrywarts. But it certainly is eyebrow-raising; if Peter Baker knows what everyone thinks, why does he not just phone in his daily gig and print an unedited transcript of Robert Gibbs' thoughtstream instead?
