This is how the Los Angeles Times has chosen to respond to requests to release the Obama-Rashid Khalidi videotape, courtesy of an LGF reader.
To paraphrase: “No, we’re not going to release the video. Go away.”

The Times did write about the tape, so I’m not sure what you mean aboutsuppressing the video or information from the video. Here is a copy of the report about the video.
Thanks again for writing, Jamie Gold Readers’ Representative

If that is the case, then release the video that you have of the event and don’t merely report it. Why is the Los Angeles Times sitting on a videotape of the 2003 farewell bash in Chicago at which Barack Obama lavished praise on the guest of honor, Rashid Khalidi - former mouthpiece for master terrorist Yasser Arafat?

Thanks for your note back. It sounds as if you don’t find “mere reporting” to be enough, but The Times is not suppressing anything.
Just the opposite — the L.A. Times brought the matter to light.
Thanks again for taking the time to write.

A perfect example of the utter arrogance of the media, and the contempt in which they hold their readers. They’re very aware that video has an immediacy and power that mere words do not; that’s why they’re suppressing it.
And it’s hard to avoid the suspicion that there’s more to that video than they reported.
they are counting on Obama winning and getting rid of people like us so everyone will go hack to buying papers.. they are delusional.
They know HOW to play hardball, they do it against real Conservatives in the primaries. They just choose not to play hardball against their “esteemed colleagues” and “dear friends”, the Democrats.
no on second thought dont release it. When Obama wins Ms. gold will nologer be of use. Mr Kalidi will know what to do.
Can someone use the Freedom of Information Act to demand the release of the tape?
Who would have thought we would need to use it against our supposedly “Free Press”.
