Purge: Skeptical reporters tossed off obama plane

[rgcraig]

**Exclusive**

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

Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic campaign to become the first black American president.

This sounds strangely familiar to a scenario I recall involving Memphis a number of years ago and good ole Willie.

So mature of them. Highlights their bi-partisanship.

Not a good sign.
Is this what we can expect from an Obama administration?

Keep in mind this is the same guy whose campaign was involved in the controversy in Missouri over their "Obama Truth Squads"

I was thinking about the article that said the Obama plane smelled. I'm sure part of that is from him smoking.

I guess they allow smoking in the White House?

So lemme get this straight... the New York Post and Washington Times wont have a seat on the plane, but Jet magazine will?
Wow.

Obama spokesman Bill Burton confirms Drudge's report that two right-leaning papers, the Washington Times and the New York Post, have lost their seats on the Obama plane, along with the Dallas Morning News.
"We're trying to reach as many swing voters that we can and unfortunately had to make some tough choices. but we are accommodating these folks in every way possible," he said.
The Post and the Morning News are both read primarily in states that aren't in play, but the Washington Times is read in Northern Virginia.
Burton said the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times had returned to the plane, and confirmed that Ebony and Jet magazines have seats on the plane. (The Tribune has had a reporter on the plane for most of the cycle, but recently added a photographer.)
