No matter WHO you think SHOULD be POTUS, it is apparent to EVERYONE that with the exception of Fox News, Obama has one HUGE lovefest with the Media. Lets face it, they WANT him to be POTUS and have done everything in their power to make it happen.
Having said that, this article is interesting, and I can not help but wonder if the messiah is already starting to bite the hand that feeds him....

Tuesday, October 21, 2008 11:13 PM
If you're a reporter interested in covering Barack Obama on election night, be sure to bring your wallet.
The Obama campaign is charging news organizations for access to the best camera and reporting positions at Obama's election night rally in Chicago's Grant Park.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the price list includes:
Access to the media file center: $935 (includes power outlet, cable TV, Internet access and food).
Access to the main riser with a view: $935 (includes power outlet).
Access to the main riser with telecommunications equipment: $1,870 (includes power outlet, two phone lines and Internet access).
Satellite truck parking: $900.
Access for a radio reporter: $715.
Reporters wishing to attend for free will be allowed into the general press area -- which includes access to a "bike racked press area with standing room only."
Remember...noone EVER thought the media would turn on the Clinton's like they did....
