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.

Burton said the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times had returned to the plane, and confirmed that Ebony and Jet magazines have seats on the plane.

Hey "journalists" are you starting to get it now?

[austinaero]

Oh now it’s because the readers of these papers are too regional and apparently not in important regions.

B.S.!

Obama is going to lose and he doesn’t want any detractors to witness his dirty deeds at the time.

stifling free speech...communism at its best.

[yldstrk]

No freedom of the press on this pl;ane. No integrity, you are simply an Obama organ.........you don’t play you don’t stay

[scottinoc]

I just love Politico. “Right-leaning papers”, as opposed to those centrist papers like the NYT and Compost. Good to see that they kept substantial publications like Ebony and Jet.

Hopefully they can print a few stories they’ve been sitting on before the election.

The Dallas Morning News endorsed McCain... coincidence that they got removed from the plane????
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram endorsed Obama - bet they are in first class .... I gladly cancelled my subscription to the startle-gram and began the DMN today... can’t use my subscription money to support an organization that supports Marxism!

I'm waiting for the Obama campaign to announce: "They were not removed from the plane. They were never on the plane."

This group is scary—Either tow the line or we will squash you or not include you in the process.

I wonder what they’ll do with Free Republic participants one day?

[Dilbert San Diego]

But, but,..........part of Obama’s canned speech was that he will always be honest about the challenges we face, and that he WILL ALWAYS BE RESPECTFUL OF THOSE WHO DISAGREE WITH HIM. He pledged to bridge partisan divides, and bring people together. He’s going to deal with those whom he has political disagreements for the good of the country. He’s going to bring people together.

Is Obama lying about all of this?

To listen to some supporters, you would swear that we will see heaven on earth if only Obama is elected. School children have been taught to sing songs about how wonderful life will be if only Obama is elected. It’s going to be a euphoric utopia if only Obama is elected. We’ll have world peace, we’ll have healthcare, we’ll have nirvana in our society as we all work together for the common good............

geez I can’t wait for the campaign to end and see an end to all the campaign claims by the Obama people.

Ohhhh, the VERY quick response from Butt-boy Burton speaks volumes about the much-needed damage-control necessary on this....
