Obama reaching across the aisle...to kick reporters off plane!
More of what an Obama administration will be like;
NY POST, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, WASHINGTON TIMES TOLD TO GET OUT... ALL 3 ENDORSED MCCAIN
**Exclusive**
The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its
plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states -- and
all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!
The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all
been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs -- and
possibly for the inclusion of reporters from two black magazines,
ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that
have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama
campaign says their reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to
vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final
days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic campaign to become the first black
American president.

Some told the DRUDGE REPORT that the reporters are being ousted
to bring on documentary film-makers to record the final days; others
expect to see on board more sympathetic members of the media, including
the NY TIMES' Maureen Dowd, who once complained that she was barred
from McCain's Straight Talk Express airplane.
After a week of quiet but desperate behind-the-scenes
negotiations, the reporters of the three papers heard last night that
they were definitely off for the final swing. They are already planning
how to cover the final days by flying commercial or driving from event
to event.
