Sun-Times: Journalists Being Shut Out by Obama | NewsBusters.org



Speaking of phonyness...Preselected members of the press core get to ask questions while others are not even agknowledged...This seems to be yet another recurring theme with Obama. Why is that?

I actually don't blame him. Who would want to face the tough questions he would have to answer from an honest media.

If the media is so liberal than he shouldn't even bother doing anything like this, right?

I dont think the article mentions which members of the media are bieng excluded, but dont you think its odd that he would shut out anyone in the media, after all he himself has told us that he has nothing to hide...I am not looking to start a flame war with this, i am just asking...

Your source is accusations from a blog regarding one reporter's accusations, the whole thing is a flame post.

No you're not just asking. You're just sneering with innuendo and implication.

Obama has shown much more openness with the press than Bush, McCain, or Palin. You have squat to complain about, and everybody knows it.

You can point to any number of other people making that claim. Fox News and Bill O'Reilly do it all the time. They are smearing Obama, and so are you.

It still remains that Obama is more open with the press than either Bush, McCain, or Palin.

You have nothing but your whining and complaining. I hope you enjoy the next 8 years.
