Report: Journalists From Three Newspapers Booted From Obama's Plane

FoxNews.com has it as their main headline as well. Why are they singling out Obama if McCain did the same thing? Odd.

From the very last line in their sensationalist headline:

Obama is not the only candidate to play hardball with the press.

McCain's campaign has reportedly barred Time columnist Joe Klein and New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd, who have been critical of the Republican candidate, from the Republican candidate's plane.

=================================================
I say we should have the FCC pull the license for Fox.

The airwaves belong to us, the people and Murdock's organization is clearly anti-American.

To be honest the only response I have to this is to show McCain has done the same thing. I don't think its right but politically it makes sense, no reason to waste plane space on people who are going to be nothing but negative in their coverage.

Sigh... yet more rocks thrown from McCain's glass house. I tell you it makes no sense.

And the Rev. Moon's mouthpiece is not a "relevant newspaper."

T-minus 4 days - Obama attack thread # 579... A pretty boring one at that. What, no juicy mud to sling, so you post this?

NEXT!

Drudge thinks it's pretty big news. Top three headlines, ALL CAPS.

Drudge thought the "B" girl was URGENT and "pretty big" news I guess then.

"B" girl got ALL CAPS and RED FONT at the top of the headlines.

I sense that you're being sarcastic, but I agree that they thought it was big news (or at the very least, that they wanted to make it into big news).

Speaking of circulation, the Dallas Morning News has a daily circulation of ~368,000. Essence publishes over a million copies a month (and claims a readership of nearly 8 million, though that number is somewhat questionable). Even if they were booted to make room, we're talking about making room for national reporting reaching contested states. It's also interesting to note that the "possibly" qualifier for the booting that appears in the Drudge Report somehow got lost in the Fox News article.

From Fox:

According to the Web site The Drudge Report, the three newspapers' reporters were told to find alternative transportation by Sunday so that the plane could accommodate "network bigwigs" and reporters from two black magazines, Essence and Jet.

From Drudge:

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 reporters from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.

People are playing loosely with the facts here...this is a very interesting development indeed.

Edit: Oh and in case anyone asks, imho this is a LIE by Foxnews reporting.

I searched Google for the phrase, "Journalists from three major newspapers that endorsed John McCain have reportedly been booted" and found the OP's exact quote on many blogs and reposts, but it doesn't show up on ANY real, first generation news site or even pseudo-news sites like Rupert's right wing spin machines, Fox Noise and "The New York Post" or Sun Myung Moon's rag, "The Washington Times."

Thanks for spewing unsubstantiated bullshit. Someone's getting a lot of spin time out of an anonymous tract. The ghost of Hitler's propoganda minister, Joseph Goebbels is laughing. :thumbsdown: :|

Notice - nothing mentioned about ESSENCE or JET.

I love watching how these stories develop of the course of hours.

No, it isn't. You can't support the idea of posting the stuff that sides with your party while not supporting the idea of posting the stuff the sides with your opposing party.

Motion to get rid of both please? Including this shitty thread.

 

[Red Dawn]

Does Faux Noise have a reporter embedded on Obama's plane? If so they ought to push him out @ 40,000 feet so he could be embedded in the Terra Firma. Hey I kid my rabid ultra Right Wing Friends.

 

[sandorski]

Only a few days left. What kind of stories could possibly be missed?

I believe the flavor of the day is BULLSHIT, and YOU are the one who brought it to the party. I know it's the only flavor you have. Thanks for the turd in the punchbowl. :|

It wasn't piss. It was BULLSHIT, and it was from YOU, and you pimped it on everyone, not just me. The only question is, why? :roll:

I was replying to Harvey's post that I interpreted to say he did a Google search and it didn't show up on Fox News. I did a Google search and showed the Fox News posting I saw (that included the Essence/Jet claim).

I'd love to hear an explanation of how the Fox News link is a repost. Where was the link posted in this thread again?
