The White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.”
“I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters,” White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in response to a Herald request for full access to the presidential visit.
“My point about the op-ed was not that you ran it but that it was the full front page, which excluded any coverage of the visit of a sitting US President to Boston. I think that raises a fair question about whether the paper is unbiased in its coverage of the President’s visits,” Lehrich wrote.

Not that you know of. You have to wonder abut the murder of Obongo’s pal, the gay choir boy from Trinity and the murder of the man involved in the Obongo passport breach.
I am an independent and not anyone but Lt Col Allen’s West cheerleader and I CALL BS on that article. Secret service agents do not pull hair and people would not be arrested under any SS order. IF they were arrested that was a local call.
That article slanders the Secret Service and their role.
We got us a mini-version with aspirations to be a maxi.
“Serious question - did Bush refuse access to any reporters or news groups?
I honestly don’t remember ever reading that he did.”
I can GARENTEE that if he had, you would have heard about it from the MSM
Excellent response by the Herald! His Majesty the President-King does not wish to be annoyed by the peasants, and the more people realize it, the better.
The Democrats have now produced two presidents with this disorder: Bubba and Barack.
Tbh, Putin would be an improvement.
It’s obvious that he is a narcissist at pathological levels, but why isn’t this weakness being exploited at the national level?
I was citing it for its remark that reporters who visited the protesters cage were not allowed back to the main event.
Ah, irony. But, who is surprised? Didn't the Obama campaign do the same sorts of things during the campaign? Wasn't there a TV station in Florida that asked Biden questions he didn't like that experienced some consequences? Since getting into office, didn't the Obama Regime tried to exempt Fox News from pool reporters? How long did it take Obama to submit to an interview with Chris Wallace?
It wasn’t only a liberal, it was Alexandra Pelosi, daughter of Nancy Pelosi. Yet Bush treated her well, and by the end of the documentary, you could tell that Ms. Pelosi had come to respect George W. Bush. If I recall correctly, Ms. Pelosi received some criticism from the left for “falling” for President Bush.
“Vlad would be better than ZERO . . . .”
...and he is not a girly-man!
What a bunch of spoiled (but dangerous) brats the current morons in the white house have turned out to be.
No one is allowed attention but His Selfawareness?? Crazy! Just....crazy!
He really is an insecure little twerp.
The MSM didn’t complain about what the WH did to the SF Chronicle reporter, and they won’t complain about this.
They are self-serving cowards.
It’s the press. They’re all liars anyway. Who cares?
Yeah right. The Poynter Institute is on this like white on rice... (NOT). If a Republican tried to pull this stuff it would be noted - screamed about - covered ad nauseum ... Now? Crickets.
I am not joking. This is where we are heading.
But not to worry. The Soros funded Media Matters is all over this. You know, because they are so concerned about the ‘truth’. lol
Yeah right! lol You'll see Media Matters protesting Obama the same day you see NOW protesting a Muslim for cutting the head off his daughter or wife because he was ‘dishonored’. The Left is so absurd. They are actually silly.
You’re right about the ego, but I’m not laughing I’m crying!
Are you refering to The Boston Hearld or The Boston Globe?
