In case you haven't heard, and there isn't a bold headline on Dallasnews.com to show the outrage, the Obama Campaign has removed reporters from three newspapers (Washington Times, New York Post, and Dallas Morning News) from it's plane because of so-called "space issues." Is it just coincidence that all three newspapers have endorsed John McCain?
The interesting spin coming from the Dallas Morning Snooze is facisnating. One, like I said earlier, isn't a large article on their website about this - just one relagated to the side bar...and it's their blog, not a news story. The blog, trailblazers, writes several interesting parapgraphs that shows they aren't TOO upset...is it so they can get their seat back? It's funny that a paper that accused McCain of "fear-mongering" isn't going after Obama's campaign for dropping them from O-FORCE-ONE.
Here are some snippets from their blog:
"But we don't have evidence that the newspaper's endorsement
of Sen. McCain had any bearing on the campaign's decision to boot us
from the plane. No one from the campaign every mentioned it to Todd [Gilliam]." Uhm, excuse me, are they actually going to TELL YOU you're being removed for endorsing McCain? And if the role were to be reversed, would YOU NEED evidence? I dont' think so.
"We think the Obama campaign's decision is to some degree more a function of limited seats..." To Some Degree? Wait, you have no evidence that it had anything to do with the endorsement...so shouldn't be to 100 DEGREES?
"And it does seem true that the campaign is allowing for more friendly
media. But that should come as no surprise - Sen. Obama hasn't done a
press conference in more than a month, but he's given "exclusive"
interviews to Jon Stewart, Rachel Maddow and Mario Lopez.
(Don't know this media titan? He's the host of "Extra," an
entertainment news show, and a former star of "Saved By The Bell.")
This should tell you something - Sen. Obama is sitting on a lead and
doesn't want to risk aggressive questions by unbiased political
reporters." Really now, more friendly media? This guy has had 95% friendly media, including the Dallas Snooze. The DMN covered up a change in which their guy Todd Gilliam changed a headline saying McCain has resorted to fear mongering to scare tactics. This should be the lead paragraph and is instead burried at the end. Funny!
