DEVELOPING STORY:
The Washington Times, N.Y. Post and Dallas Morning News -- three newspapers that recently endorsed John McCain -- have been kicked off Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's plane in the final days of his campaign.
The Obama campaign informed The Washington Times Thursday evening of its decision, which came two days after The Times editorial page endorsed Senator John McCain over Mr. Obama. The Times editorial page runs completely independent of the news department.
"This feels like the journalistic equivalent of redistributing the wealth. We spent hundreds of thousands of dollars covering Senator Obama's campaign, traveling on his plane, and taking our turn in the reporter's pool, only to have our seat given away to someone else in the last days of the campaign," said Washington Times Executive Editor John Solomon.

After the Hopeshirt brigades take control of the enforcement wing, reporters can expect to be ejected while the plane is still in the air.
Is everyone getting a pretty good idea yet of whats in store with this clown as president?
FREEDOM OF SPEECH?
Impeach the LIBERAL FASCIST candidate for not respecting the Constitution
Barry throws the media under the fuselage.
This will cause backlash at the polls.
Most of the media will vote for McCain now.
MAYBE NOW THEY’ll PRINT EVERYTHING THEY HAVE ON HIM.
This is simply another demonstration that what we are dealing with is a personality cult in Obama. This is the type of petty demonstration of power that the cultists love, but which destroys the fabric of the society outside the cult.
The NY Post, Dallas Morning News and the Washington Times will survive whether they have a free ride on the Obama campaign press plane or not.
People on freerepublic? yes... the rest of the sheeple? not so much..
We get it...it’s the rest of the world that doesn’t!
The media loves this. Basically Obama is promising to make their jobs 100% easier.
In college I always hated writing papers because I didn't know what the liberal professor would want to hear. I wanted to say, "Just tell me what you want to hear and I'll write it down." But instead, I would try to write an objective paper and always ended up getting burned on the grade.
Obama is doing the equivalent of my professor writing my paper for me. In an Obama administration reporters can sit at the DC tavern waiting for their next piece to be emailed straight from the White House press room.
Easy as pie.

Oh yeah, a lot of us have “gotten” it for a long time. Too bad the Obamabots don’t get it, or don’t want to get it, or actually WANT what Zero is pushing!
OBAMA SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED TO BOARD AIR FORCE ONE
Get use to it, conservative (or for that matter, objective) media. And pay up for the inaugural.
I love it! rofl!
Impeach the LIBERAL FASCIST candidate for not respecting the ConstitutionWhere in the Constitution does it say you have to let anybody on your private plane if you don't want them there? I can think of one place, but it requires the people to have a warrant.
We're already calling for the impeachment of people who assert their property rights? Oh great.
