"Ambush Journalism:" Obama Also Banned CBS3 in Philly Over Socialism Questions for Biden

Ambush journalism is what happens when you ask Obama or Biden a question that isn't "How great is it that you're going to win?" or "Explain again why McCain is erratic."

The station caved -- and did not air the interview again on its website, which is its normal practice.

But it lives on, on YouTube.

2 This reminds me of the time late in the '04 campaign when John F'n Kerry was vidoed as he was walking out of a Good Morning America interview with Charles Gibson and said, "Don't they realize they're doing the work of the RNC?" Or something like that.

Kerry was complaining about Gibson's "tough" questions. I guess he thought it was going to be a puff interview.

3 less than a day, the Obama video linked on Drudge has gone from 1k hits last night when we found it to over a Million as of right now.  Plus all who heard on radio stations today.  Too bad much of it is the choir listening

That was awesome.  Under an Obama presidency, there will be predators flying over all TV stations 24/7.  Tough questions and KABLOOEY!!

5 The female anchor must be racist for asking those questions.

He expected to be asked about the Phillies, yeah that's important a week before the election.

7 Kind of Hugo Chavez with all this sanctioning reporters and buying thirty minute time slots for Chavez like "cadenas" to spread the "right thinking".

Then again, if I may be so bold, kind of reminds you of CNN and tyrants like Saddam Hussein: censoring themselves and letting out his propaganda to protect themselves from being thrown out of the country or thrown in to prison. 

So, is the media afraid that, if they ask hard questions they will be thrown into the gulag of no interviews or white house access?  Or, are they afraid of getting lumped in with the rest of us capitalist, pigs?

Bias?  I see no bias here:

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher became part of the national political lexicon Oct. 15 when Republican presidential candidate John McCain mentioned him frequently during his final debate with Democrat Barack Obama.

Now, I understand.  I was under the misconception that Joe the Plumber came into the limelight when he asked Obama a question and Obama gave an honest answer when he should have lied.

Wow!  I usually watch CBS3 and I missed that one.  Chris May is a new anchor trying to make a name for himself.  He did a very good interview of Sarah Palin and reported on the horrible nastiness of the pro-Obama protesters when she was in Philly a few weeks ago. 

Not very smart for Biden to pick a fight with a popular local news station.

Let me save everybody some time here:

"Not very smart for Biden to [insert par-for-the-course Biden activity or verbal gaffe here]."

Call me when Biden actually does do something smart.

Kinda like the evil Bushco throwing Helen Thomas out ofWH press conferences for writing unhinged, off the wall shit and passing it off as news. Oh wait. In 8 long, insufferable, fucking, years, that nasty piece of work never even had to fight for a seat. Same thing.

Any other candidate in the history of the republic who had banished  a reputable news organization would have been outed by all the rest of them. But not THE ONE. What the fuck is going on here?

Q: What the fuck is going on here?

A1: The Democratic Party, led by Barack Obama, is engaged in electoral and fundraising fraud on a massive scale.

A2: The Democratic Party leadership in Congress,led by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, is using its majority status to prevent the Federal Elections Commission from investigating these crimes.

A3: The media is assisting the Democratic Party in covering these crimes up, and where it is not possible to avoid reporting on them, reporting them in a way contrived to mislead the public into thinking they are innocuous.

That is called a conspiracy, and the leaders of the Democratic Party, and any media outlets who knowingly participate in it, or aid and abet it, are co-conspirators along with Senator Obama.  I only hope they can be put under oath before a corrupt President Obama, or a media-loving President McCain, puts an end to the investigations!

Would you fight a rabid warthog over a ham hock?

That's why Helen Thomas is still part of White House press conferences.

I root for the Mets, as much as it is anathema to me, I am rooting phor Philly tonight, because Country > Baseball, and I don't want a larger audience for the Game 6 Obamapalooza.

This gives me yet another reason to root for Philadelphia.

Go Phillies!

Wonder what Biden feels like being used as stooge while Barry is holdup to avoid unpleasant questions?  Barry is sitting down with the "Save by the Bell" cast to talk about being a "messiah" while Biden is left to explain Obama's past?

It isn't Biden who spent years drawn toward every radical anti-American nutjob around. 

Why doesn't Barry man-up and explain himself to the American voter what he finds so attractive about people and ideas which are the polar opposite from everything which has made American great?

Think Biden might blow before the election and tell a reporter why the hell not ask Obama because he has no idea why Barry is an American-hating marxist, he just wanted to be VP.

23 Back in the civil war General Meade got ticked at a reporter and had him tied up and paraded around camp while seated backwards on a mule.   Other reporters got together and agreed for the rest of the war their dispatches would never mention Meade by name again.

Go ahead, Senator Gaffe, keep throwing reporters under the bus.   You do it to the wrong reporter and the entire pack will turn on you.  Hey sweetie, looks like some of the females reporters are already starting to turn,

I suppose that the Obama campaign will restrict interviews to print media, such as the <a href="http://preview.tinyurl.com/5og3m7"> Inquirer</a> which published a supportive article:

 

White People Shouldn't be allowed to Vote

[...]I fear for what is to become of them after the campaigns leave town for the last time, and Scranton and Allentown and Carlisle go back to being the long dark chicken dance of the national soul they were before the media showed up[...]
