Reporter From New Yorker Magazine Gets Boot From Obama Campaign Plane
Obama’s been really picky about what journalists he talks to lately. Not only is he not talking to any foreign journalists, his campaign gave the boot to the New Yorker magazine journalist who wrote the article that went with that controversial cover a few weeks back.
...the New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza, whose long, long article on Barack Obama’s early political days in Chicago’s ward politics (available here) was the reason for the magazine’s controversial cover by Barry Blitt depicting Obama as a Muslim, has been barred from traveling with Obama on his foreign field trip this week.
Just a coincidence, I’m sure.
Of course, if a Republican did this all hell would break loose among the journalists. There would be accusations of anti-free speech sentiments and comparisons to tyrants would abound. But not with Obama. He’s the messiah. He’s allowed to do stuff like this.
