Radio report, broke this as breaking

Mark Knowler with KFI is stuck on the aircraft...Not being allowed to be left off the aircraft.

[dragnet2]

This is being reported by the reporter on board the White House press plane...

[tips up]

Send the CNN and MSNBC reports to re-education camp for the two weeks during the games.

[nesnah]

And this is a problem why? ....keep him

[JennysCool]

Mark Knowler with KFI

They're probably targeting known associates of Bill Handel. And who can blame them?

[dragnet2]

It’s being reported that there is some kind of disagreement, and that the reporter on the aircraft is calling out on his cellular phone, stating no one is being allowed off the aircraft.

[KarlInOhio]

The Chinese don't want to let the press in because they are far too Marxist for the Chinese.

[freedomlover]

I doubt this will get much airplay as reporters never like to report on themselves . . .

[DogBarkTree]

I really dont like the Chicoms but I have to admire their zero tolerance approach with people they dont like.

[Ramius]

Dang... How come WE never thought of that?

The Chinese don't want to let the press in because they are far too Marxist for the Chinese.

Post of the Day.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Negotiations are underway to send Jack Bauer back to China.

[GoCards]

I thought the aircraft landed earlier this morning. Heard Bush this am give China heck about religion and freedom of speech. China said shove it, I think? This will be an interesting couple of weeks.

[GoCards]

lol

*********************

LOL!

[dragnet2]

Their reporter has stated no one is being allowed off the White House press plane...The reporter is on board the aircraft and he's with KFI 1070 Los Angeles, using a cell phone.

The station broke into their regular news to report this about 5 minutes ago.

[vietvet67]

LOL! Good one..

[BooBoo1000]

Press cannot deplane? Good, probably the best thing to happen to China since the Flying Tigers.

[SevenofNine]

Now that funny

GOOD GOIN CHINESE

[Eric in the Ozarks]

There’s a little good in everyone.

[LearsFool]

That’s gonna leave a mark! LOL

[cripplecreek]

Thank God we’re buying all that influence in China. [/sarc]

[surely_you_jest]

With any luck the onboard latrines will soon be full to overflowing . . . .

[dragnet2]

It’s now on the stations web site. http://www.knx1070.com/

This poses a dilemna for the MSM. They were probably planning to just bareley mention Bush’s visit (if it was Obama they would be doing 24X7 coverage). Now that they’re being “abused” they’re going to want to say something.

[dragnet2]

(CBS)—CBS News Correspondent Mark Knoller reports via e-mail that “something of a standoff” has developed between the U.S. and China over the White House press plane.

He and other reporters are not being let off the charted White House press plane which is on the tarmac at the Beijing airport.

Chinese authorities have demanded to search all the luggage and equipment on the aircraft—going back on a previous agreement. The White House refused, and so no one on the plane has been allowed to get off. A White House official says the dispute is now being discussed at”higher levels.”

[NormsRevenge]

The Greatest Olympics Ever.. ha.

[DoughtyOne]

Each of us knew this was the real China.

The question at this point is, how have we reacted to knowing this was the real China?

We just kept playing along.

And we will keep playing along.

These little sign-posts along the way seem to mean nothing.

[xcamel]

The Chinese must be all checked out on our P-MSM...

[urroner]

What is the difference between the MSM and a huge bag of crap?

The bag and it ain’t big enough.

[The_Media_never_lie]

Why would the Chinese make their best allies uncomfortable?

[DoughtyOne]

Hey, China has moderated. Get with the program.

Can you blame the Chinese party members?

If they read Bernard Goldberg and surf Free Republic, the ChiComms
know they are unlikely to get a fair shake from the MSM.

(Yes, I’m being facetious!)

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Are tanks surrounding the plane yet?

[Cementjungle]

Chinese authorities have demanded to search all the luggage and equipment on the aircraft

What could the pressers be hiding? What's the penalty for cocaine possession in China?

[Enchante]

"The Chinese don't want to let the press in because they are far too Marxist for the Chinese"

ROFL!! All the MSM hacks with their dog-eared copies of Mao's "Little Red Book" were considered threats to the new PRC. They didn't want to go back to the days of the "Cultural Revolution"..... /s

[Oldeconomybuyer]

They're probably targeting known associates of Bill Handel.

Marjorie and the twins won't like that.

[LdSentinal]

Good. Maybe the Red Chinese can put them into prison for life.

[Vigilanteman]

As funny as your comment is, you could actually be right. The Chinese traded in Communism for Facism about 1989. Only the mainstream media doesn’t know it yet because they can’t bring themselves to recognize it.

[MeanWestTexan]

Kinda hopes this blows up and we just back up our team and leave.

-— Mainly because NBC would be screwed.

[Brian S. Fitzgerald]

Maybe a suitcase of payoff $$$ from the Clintons didn’t get to its intended recipient.

[dragnet2]

Now being reported those on board the aircraft are being allowed off the plane.

[happinesswithoutpeace]

“and surf Free Republic”

They have been here for years 0_o

[fanfan]

If the Chinese don’t allow those Americans off that plane, The President should leave.
He should invite all American athletes to leave with him.

I know, they are MSM, but they are still Americans. ;-)

[dragnet2]

No word if they and their luggage/equipment are being searched as apparently the Chinese were demanding.

Flash presentation: 2001 Disgrace Odyssey (Al Gore, Tipper, Buddhist Monks, and the Clintons)

[LikeLight]

Wow.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Chinese authorities have demanded to search all the luggage and equipment on the aircraft

All they will find is a little doobie, loads of locally manufactured Birkenstocks, and well-thumbed copies of "Earth in the Balance".

[RS_Rider]

I wish he would turn those planes around, get back home and do the job he swore to uphold instead of watching games in the enemy’s playground while this country is in need!
