What do you think about the Obama campaign kicking?

three newspaper groups off their campaign plane.

Strange all three newspapers just happened to endorse McCain?

Censorship is healthy and blooming.

Update:

THANKS for the source Matt. I was listening to a newsbreak

    If you think THAT is something, just wait till Obama gets into office and they ramrod through the "Equal Time" and "Fairness in Broadcasting" laws for radio and TV (a.k.a. the "Hush Rush [Limbaugh] Act")...

    It shows how he will censor and restrict access to his actions as President *If* he is elected.

    Reminds me of the days of Communist Russia.

    1 newspaper.

    Pravda.

    People need to get a clue.

    Well since the Obama campaign is banning so many television stations and newspapers just because they're "confusing" they only have McCain to turn to.

    Yes it is and don't dare ask a hardball question like the reporterette in Florida did.

    CENSORSHIP at its finest. Look for more secret deals and censorship if NOBAMA is elected.

    I think Obama better censor Biden first. That guy opens his mouth and bats fly out.

    One paper the Washington Times (?)

    It distrubutes a print edition to VA

    From their website:

    The Times formally protested the decision, noting that it has one of the top 20 largest newspaper Web sites in the country, distributes its print edition in the key battleground state of Virginia, and has had its stories repeatedly cited by Mr. Obama and other Democrats throughout the campaign.

    "Sen. Obama himself demonstrated he appreciates the importance of The Washington Times and its news coverage. In June, he wrote a letter citing a Times' investigative project that highlighted government mistreatment of our veterans. Sen. Obama requested an investigation by Congress and the administration, both of which confirmed the problems and led to corrective action at the VA. In his August acceptance speech, Sen. Obama also prominently mentioned our interview with Sen. Phil Gramm and the now infamous comments about a 'mental recession' and a 'nation of whiners'," wrote Mr. Solomon in an e-mail to Obama campaign manager David Plouffe.

    Times reporter Christina Bellantoni, who has covered the Democratic campaign since 2007, is being asked to leave the campaign plane starting Sunday. In defending its decision, the Obama campaign said it respected Ms. Bellantoni's reporting and simply ran out of seats on the campaign plane for the finale because of high demand. It also noted that the Obama campaign is allowing some news media critical of the Democrat to travel, including Fox News.

    "Unfortunately, demand for seats on the plane during this final weekend has far exceeded supply, and because of logistical issues we made the decision not to add a second plane. This means we've had to make hard and unpleasant for all concerned decisions about limiting some news organizations and in some cases not being in a position to offer space to news organizations altogether," wrote Obama campaign Senior Advisor and Chief Communications Officer Anita Dunn in an e-mail.

    "There are simply no more seats on Senator Obama's plane," she added. "There are press seats available on Senator Bidens plane for travel this final weekend and The Washington Times is encouraged to include our vice presidential nominee in your coverage plans for this final stretch."
