Sun-Times: Journalists Being Shut Out by Obama <BR> <BR><a href="http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/2009/01/12/sun-times-journalists-shut-out-obama" target=_top>http://newsbusters.org/blogs/warner-todd-huston/20 09/01/12/sun-times-journalists-shut-out-obama</a> <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>According to Sun-Times columnist and long-time Chicago journalist, Carol Marin, journalists at Barack Obama news conferences have come to realize that Obama has pre-picked those journalists whom he will allow to ask him questions at the conference and many of them now "don't even bother raising" their hands to be called upon. <BR> <BR>One wonders why journalists are allowing this corralling of the press? Would they have allowed George W. Bush to pre-pick journalists like that? Would they meekly sit by and allow themselves to be systematically ignored, their freedom to ask questions silenced by any Republican? Would journalists so eagerly vie with one another for the favor of Bush like they are Obama's? <BR> <BR>...<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR> <BR>Is this what the Fairness Doctrine will accomplish is instituted under Obama administration????
