Sun-Times: Journalists Being Shut Out by Obama
Sun-Times: Journalists Being Shut Out by ObamaBy Warner Todd Huston
One has a sinking suspicion that the press is allowing itself to become Obama's lapdog extraordinaire.
According to Sun-Times columnist and long-time Chicago journalist, Carol Marin, journalists at Barack Obama news conferences have come to realize that Obama has pre-picked those journalists whom he will allow to ask him questions at the conference and many of them now "don't even bother raising" their hands to be called upon.
One wonders why journalists are allowing this corralling of the press? Would they have allowed George W. Bush to pre-pick journalists like that? Would they meekly sit by and allow themselves to be systematically ignored, their freedom to ask questions silenced by any Republican? Would journalists so eagerly vie with one another for the favor of Bush like they are Obama's?

Little by little, turn by turn, the Pied Piper is turning the socialist screws a little tighter! And, my, don't they follow!
Who in the "background" actually owns the newpapers that are being allowed in? If ob owns them (which I personnally believe), who is there to actually report the truth vs what ob tells them they will write?
True enough, ANON--the deck is fully stacked, and not in our favor. Not in America's favor.
