Scary Obama Censorship
Is this a sign of things to come during an Obama administration? This morning, reporters from three newspapers who have been flying on the Obama campaign plane for quite some time, are not being allowed to fly this weekend. The reason given: limited space for the media. I am sure it didn’t have anything to do with the fact that the editorial board of the three newspapers, The New York Post, The Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News, all endorsed Sen. McCain.
A great take on this from Ross Balano:
Maybe the in flight movie was that video of the Rashid Khalidi party and they had to be careful to make sure that the wrong people didn’t see it. Or I guess it could be that they are transporting Obama’s real birth certificate or the papers he wrote at Columbia University. Maybe Reverend Wright offered the pre flight prayer. Or could it be that Bill Ayers was autographing copies of his book that he dedicated to Sirhan Sirhan, the guy who killed Bobby Kennedy.
Where’s the outrage from the rest of the media? Why didn’t the other reporters get up and leave the plane? Do you remember the outrage when Helen Thomas was temporarily barred from her front row seat at press conferences? Where are you New York Times? Where are you Washington Post? Where are you Kansas City Star?
So, if you represent a paper that is not completely in the tank for Obama, you can’t get access to him? What’s going to happen if he becomes President? If there is any trouble in the White House, who’s going to be there to tell us about it? I am sure that The Washington Post or the Daily Kos will do their best investigative reporting on everything that might go against The One and his government, aren’t you?
