Right-Leaning Papers Lose Seats On Obama Plane

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.

I live outside of Dallas, and the Dallas Morning News subscription has gone way way down. It's no wonder why.

LISTEN ALL: Please Go Vote! There has been confirmed reports of voter disenfranchisement and election fraud with the Republican Party and it's supporters. Obama is need of all the votes necessary to create a landslide. Let's make sure that our state turns blue! Bring your friends and family - make it a group thing! Wouldn't you want to say 1 year from now, 5 years from now, or even 20 years from now that you contributed to the most highlighted election in US history? Wouldn't you be proud to tell your kids/grandkids years from now that you voted for this election? It will be the most talked about election for centuries. Voting is a right and a privilege. Let's all make history together!

"In one week, we can choose hope over fear, unity over division, the promise of change over the power of the status quo. In one week, we can come together as one nation, and one people, and once more choose our better history. That's what's at stake. That's what we're fighting for." - Quote from Barack Obama in his closing argument speech.

Ahhh, but we forget the old saw, 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' at our own peril. Though I'm glad the unseated got space on the bus. They could always be on THAT other bus - the one running on three flat tires and a donut-spare.

Funny ow it was only those reporters working for papers that supported McCain. No evidence? There is no evidence that George Bush lied, but that doesn't stop you from believing it.

[JiminNC]

This concern from the McCensor camp that won't let the VP pick outside without a muzzle?

[JiminNC]

They think its bad now, wait until next years press conferences when they are sitting in the back of the room trying to cheat off real journalists papers.

Awwwwww. Too bad for these guys, but at the end of the game when the game is on the line, the players who can do the most good for the team are the ones who are still on the field. And apparently, the ones who are still on the plane. Perhaps they should look inside themselves for a performance critique.......

[YellerDawg]

Here in Dallas, The Dallas Morning Snooze is the only game in town. It's a right-wing Republican rag. Definitely part of the vast right-wing conspiracy. Unfit even for lining a birdcage.

There shall be no dissent on "THE ONE'S" airplane. If you can't sing praise and offer hymns then you can walk.

[msjimmied]

Remember Maureen Dowd or Klein? How long ago was that? What are you complaining about? Right now it's crunch time bucko!

[TomTheAlmostUgly]

So why is Fu**ed News still on the airplane?

We're so used to (Republican) politicians lying, many of us can't even imagine that BHO might be telling the truth.

Plus, the Conservatives think they're entitled to being given anything and everything. Including exclusive use of the First Amendment. (Right, Sarah?)

[jcwtts1]

McCain bumped Dowd from his plane in Pittsburgh. It happens. Stop whining.

[dee544]

It's HIS plane!

[Bitsko]

Tell those Moonies where they can sit, Senator.

[Deus Angelus]

It's about time he threw those parasites out.

[Wiserone]

Tsk, tsk. Oh well, Right Leaning news folks. Guess you'll just have to find another way to spread your propoganda. Heck, just turn on Fix News and then you'll be able to meet your deadlines.

[quinn52]

This kind of thing happens all the time on campaigns. Left-leaning Maureen Dowd and Joe Klein were booted off the McCain plane a few weeks ago. No story here people, move along.

[Cybersquirt]

Well I think there's a story on both sides but they (the candidates) get to decide who rides with them so there's not much more to say.

Our turn comes on tuesday - I'm SO ready to get the show on the road!
