Let’s suppose, for a change, that President Bush had done this: most of the MSM would be all over the issue, calling Bush a fascist and accusing him of destroying the Constitution
The White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.â€
“I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters,†White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in response to a Herald request for full access to the presidential visit.
The Herald’s Joe Battenfield asks “what are you afraid of, Mr. President?”
The Boston Herald is one of the major papers for Boston, yet, Obama refuses to give them direct access. It’s not the first time the Obama White House has pulled these kinds of stunts. Obviously, he thinks more along the lines of Hugo Chavez than..well, any American President. Even Jimmy Carter wasn’t this stupid.
