Obama shuts off press coverage... can you spell dictatorship???



ACHTUNG! ACHTUNG!!

NO QUESTIONS ARE PERMITTED!!! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE TRAIN AND BOX CARS!!


The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states -- and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!

The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs -- and possibly for the inclusion of reporte
rs from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

If you haven't figured out what Hussein will do if elected this should give you a clue.

And the above is after they shut down the Flordia paper for asking questions they dislike.

  1. McCain has declared Maureen Dowd and a few other reporters Non persona grata on their campaign plane, and he cancelled his interview with Larry King because Campbell Brown was "unkind" to Tucker Bounds when he appeared on CNN.

    Somehow, either event didn't get your knickers in a twist when they took place.

    Why is that?

  2. He tossed off the NYTimes for a personal attack on his wife... and Maureen Dowd is not a reporter.

    I know nothing about the so-cancellation with CNN's Larry King. Is that like Hussein not accepting Hannity's request for an interview?

    My point. Three working reporters, not opinion writers, were tossed off because their employers endorsed McCain. The TV reporter's station was blocked from further access to the campagin because they didn't like the questions.

    The LA Times reporter who has traveled with the campagin admits he doesn't know Hussein and no news conferences have been held for over two months.

    Hussein is preparing to turn this country into a dictatorship. His references to things taking more than 8 years have already started paving the way for seizing power for out "own good."

    So, reporters are the only ones who can't be kicked off the bus?

    Interesting rule. Ever hear of Calvinball.

    BOH was interviewed by Bill O'Reilly, who is to Hannity as Couric would be to Mike Wallace, if you remember the latter.

    I didn't know that there was another rule that a major Presidential candidate had to accept an invitation every time someone with a TV show asked him to come on.

    Ms Brown bringing folks up to date:

    Monday(09/01/2008) I did an interview in the Election Center with Sen. John McCain's campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds. The interview was about Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin's experience and readiness to be commander in chief. The interview became a bit of a lightning rod.

    Over the last few days, I have received thousands of e-mails. For those who didn't see the interview, you can read it or view it below.

    McCain's campaign got upset about that interview. McCain officials told CNN I had crossed a line and they canceled a scheduled appearance by McCain on "Larry King Live."

    I don't think the interview was over the line. Neither does CNN. And neither do most of you who e-mailed me this week. Thank you, all of you who e-mailed me, including those who disagree. We're always interested in getting past talking points and exploring the issues in any political interview.

    You have a right to know the people you are voting for. Our pledge to you on this program is to ask the tough but fair questions and to try to get answers.


    To my way of thinking, cancelling an interview with "The King" is shooting one's self in the foot, unless one has been caught doing something unethical, illegal, or just plain stupid. His interviews aren't that demanding, and it made McCain look either childish, petty, a bully, or all of the above.

    Three working reporters, not opinion writers, were tossed off because their employers endorsed McCain. The TV reporter's station was blocked from further access to the campagin because they didn't like the questions.

    Not quite:

    They have also been encouraged to travel with Obama's vice presidential pick, Delaware Sen. Joe Biden.

    no news conferences have been held for over two months.

    And the last time McCain has held a news conference was when?

    There have been none with Ms. Palin since her nomination for the VP slot. Just saying.

    I really think that mentioning who has and hasn't had a news conference isn't something you should explore as a topic.

    Hussein is preparing to turn this country into a dictatorship.

    "At first, he snubbed Larry King
    but I didn't say anything because I wasn't an aging talking head

    then he kicked Maureen and Joe Klein off the bus

    but I didn't work for Time, so I didn't say anything"


    His references to things taking more than 8 years have already started paving the way for seizing power for out "own good."

    pointing out that the current President and 6 years of Republican misrule will take a long time to fix doesn't imply that he needs to(or will) stay in office past Jan 2017.

    You remind me of the folks who think that if the election comes out for Obama, GWB will declare a state of emergency with some sort of excuse.

    See you in the reeducation camps, comrade.
