White House to media--'Don't report what you discover' April 5, 5:31 PMConservative ExaminerAnthony G. Martin
In light of numbing revelations over the last several days concerning fraudulent statements on Barack Obama's resume, this piece of information curiously comes to light.
The White House has instructed the 'mainstream media' not to report what they may discover.
The White House directive was issued as part of a deal struck between the Office of the President and reporters of the mainstream media.
In exchange for being given unprecedented access to Barack Obama, reporters would promise not to report 'certain matters' they may discover while covering the President.
From Steve Clemons at The Washington Note:
What I have learned after discussions over the last several days with several journalists who either have regular access to the White House or are part of the White House press corps is that there is a growing sense that access is traded for positive stories -- or perhaps worse, an agreement that things learned will not be reported in the near term.
What, exactly, is meant by 'things learned?' What information could a journalist uncover while having close access to the President that would be deemed so damaging, embarrassing, or even worse, that the White House is exhibiting a near-paranoia in making sure such information is not reported?
And more importantly, why would any true journalist who is worth his/her salt agree to such a scheme?
Clemons believes that part of the reason is that some reporters who cover the White House want to write books about Obama.

You mean we will find out that he is wheelchair bound, Michelle is a lesbian and he has a mistress?

“Most Transparent President Ever Has Bar Records Redacted This Week, Leaving Only Traces of His Existence Some Betamax Videos and a Fraternity Pin”
President Obama’s Occidental College transcripts have never been released. His Columbia transcripts are, likewise, AWOL. And his Harvard Law transcripts also haven’t been made public.
Finally, it’s reported, he never published any articles while at Harvard, yet somehow served as Editor of Law Review. That would make him unique among editors, according to insiders.
Even John “D Student” Kerry was guilt-tripped into releasing his transcripts.
Curiously, since I relayed a report of Obama’s “teaching career” at Chicago (he was apparently never a law professor, as some have claimed), the Illinois Bar has decided to partially redact what little public information it had available on its website related to the President’s legal status.
On March 1st, I captured the public records available at the Illinois Bar’s website for the President (click to zoom):
Perhaps it’s just some clerical issue or a database cleanup problem.
But when even the tiniest breadcrumbs of background information on this, the most mysterious President ever, begin disappearing, I think it’s worth asking some questions.
And perhaps The New York Times or Glutes Sullivan could reassign a cub reporter from the Sarah Palin detail in Wasilla to find out just what the President’s grades were — and how he actually paid for school.

Are there specifics now? Beside what we already knew?
.
What reporter would accept these odious terms?
Wacthing Mike Wallace interviews with Aldous Huxley, listening to anthony huchins during the START talks today proclaiming that based on the healthcare process Obama would be around in 2012 and beyond, and then this totally OUTRAGEOUS request to the PRESS and their capitulation, one would think we are well into a Dictatorship.
What reporter would accept these odious terms?
A better question: Reporter? Where?
In his memoirs Barry’s already admitted that he regularly snorted coke. His college records are tightly sealed. His only substantive job prior to politics was as a partner with Domestic Terrorist Bill Ayres in a foundation that doled out cash to dubious non-profits. This was all apparent before the election, yet was downplayed significantly in the press. I don’t know why it’s a surprise that there may be other surprises that journalists are keeping under their hats.
Bookmark. I watched his video linked on that page- very interesting.
WOW...This is just insane... Most days I don’t know if I want to Puke,Cry,Laugh, or all of the above. I can’t imagine the laughter/Outrage if President Bush has even tried to ask the media to not report a story.
The media has lost all credibility. No one should believe one word these people utter. I hope all the ratings for these people continues to plummet. Of course then Obama will probably just say they are too big to fail and bail them out...
Obviously, just about all of them.
This would be one odd instruction, first guess is Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dorn, et al, visit often
It will all come out after Obama's presidency in their books.
And then the reporter will say that proves he is a balanced journalist
