| When Obama Promised Transparency |
OF COURSE, OBAMA’S TEAM SPARRING WITH REPORTERS WHO QUESTION THEIR OFFICIAL LINE IS NOTHING NEW
Obama Said News Outlets Like Fox News Are “Ultimately Destructive For The Long-Term Growth” Of America. “I think Fox is part of that tradition — it is part of the tradition that has a very clear, undeniable point of view. It's a point of view that I disagree with. It's a point of view that I think is ultimately destructive for the long-term growth of a country that has a vibrant middle class and is competitive in the world.” (Jann S. Wenner, “Obama in Command: The Rolling Stone Interview,” The Rolling Stone, 9/28/10)
· FLASHBACK 2008:
“Barack Obama's Campaign Has Booted From Its Airplane Three Reporters Who Work
For Newspapers That Have Endorsed John McCain.” (Russell Goldman,
“Obama Boots Reporters From Conservative Papers,” ABC
News,
10/31/08)
·
“Eliminated
From The Plane's Traveling Press Were The Washington Times, The New York Post
And The Dallas Morning News.”
(Russell
Goldman, “Obama Boots Reporters From Conservative Papers,” ABC News, 10/31/08)
·
Glamour And Jet Magazines Were Allowed To
Remain On Board. “The
campaign says that a limited number of seats forced it to make the tough decision
of which journalists would be permitted to follow the Democratic presidential
candidate in the last four days of the campaign, but the papers are calling
foul, claiming they were targeted for their editorial-page positions and kicked
off while nonpolitical publications like Glamour and Jet magazines remained on
board.” (Russell
Goldman, “Obama Boots Reporters From Conservative Papers,” ABC News, 10/31/08)
