It has never been more apparent that the mainstream media loves the Democrat presidential candidate and the feeling is very mutual. Well, at least for the media organizations that report what Obama wants them to say. The media organizations that dare to report the truth or ask tough questions that aren’t easy to answer are shunned and banned. There have been three examples lately. Most know of the reporter in Florida who asked Joe Biden about Mr. Obama’s “spreading the wealth” comment sounding a lot like socialism. The Obama campaign disliked the interview so much that they not only canceled an interview with Jill Biden, they also told the television station that future interviews with the campaign were unlikely.

The second incident resulted from Mr. Biden being questioned about the first interview by another television station, and ended in the same way. Mr. Biden called the campaign and ordered it to no longer do business with the station.

The third incident has reporters from three different news organizations being told they no longer had seats on the Obama campaign’s airplane. When asked why this happened the campaign said it was to make room for network bigwigs. When asked about it later, the campaign said it was to make room for documentary film-makers. I’m sure the change in their story is someone “misspeaking”, and I’m sure it is just a coincidence that the three news organizations had previously endorsed Mr. Obama’s opponent.

These incidents should, at a minimum, raise a flag to the mainstream media, and the rest of the country, that if Obama and his “friends” are allowed to run the country the one thing they (the mainstream media) dislike more than conservatism and Republicans, CENSORSHIP, could very well occur if they dare publish or air information that Mr. Obama dislikes. As if this isn’t enough, the news network that claims “Fair and Balanced” wasn’t even asked to air the Obama infomercial. When asked why not, the campaign said it was because the news network’s sister broadcast network was airing it. However, the news network that has a record for over 70% of its stories on Mr. Obama being positive was asked to carry the infomercial, even though its sister broadcast network was also carrying it. There might not be any fire, but there sure is a lot of smoke.
