This was a test to see which media outlets would agree to follow Herr Obama's orders.

It could also be proof that they have done it before. If the command was "scrub the internet of truth about Barack-Barry Obama", many of the "journalists" did exactly as they were told.

I'm thinking Air Force One and limos, plus escort planes, hotels, food etc.

Who is reporting the true cost of this kid's vacation?

I think this story is great! It draws a sharp relief to how the media treated the Bush twins, and how they treated the Palin children.

The Bush Twins were under a microscope - the media didn’t give them any privacy. If Obama’s daughter takes a trip to Mexico with Secret Service at taxpayer expense then we have a right to know about it. If security was such an over-riding concern then she shouldn’t have gone. As for the MSM, yet another example of their increasingly large and hypocritical double-standard.

The weird part is that a few hours after the scrub a 7.6 earthquake hit a 100 miles away and even with the 24/7 news cycle noone is mentioning that Malia was 100 miles away from the earthquake.

“MEDIA ETHIC’S !!! Those words don’t even belong together”

Media “ethics” no longer exist, the gay takeover of mainstream media has seen to that.
(WELL documentd on FR over the years.)

Can you just imagine the amount of faked media outrage we’d be treated to had GEORGE BUSH asked the media to not cover the escapades of his daughters??

Sasha. Nice American name. Isn’t it?

Seriously? What's wrong with Sasha? Do you have an approved list of American names? Sasha is a far better girl's name than Stanley.

I really honestly think Obama may be one of the worst presidents in history and I believe that he is fundamentally unAmerican in his worldview and politics. But for the life of me I can't get into my head how a person can post the statement you made.

“Media Ethics” - seems a bit like “Jumbo Shrimp” or pick your favorite oxymoron.

“Did Media Follow Journalistic Ethics in Covering Malias Mexico Trip? “

Huh? What?

“The decision to remove them, she says, could potentially lead to public distrust.”

Er, that horse ran out of the barn decades ago.

I strongly suspect that it is the Secret Service intervening in this case.

I didn't participate in yesterday's thread, so I'm putting my thoughts here.

Regarding the thought that the Secret Service did this, did the Secret Service hide the news when Hillary and Chelsea Clinton went to South Africa on a trip? No.

It's not being scrubbed for protection. It's being scrubbed because it's the worst yet example of the Obama family acting like royalty on the national treasury.

It was outrageous when Michelle Obama went to Spain with the entourage that she had.

This is worse because it's at the command of the 13-year-old daughter.

The Obamas don't want the public to be reminded of their largesse during the run-up to the election.

“This is worse because it’s at the command of the 13-year-old daughter.”

And I imagine at some point we’ll hear about little Sasha having the Secret Service round up all the furry little rats on the White House grounds for a hanging. (Czarist Russian reference).

As these sorts of things usually go, the White House managed to turn a small bad story into a bigger badder story, that's even more difficult to ignore.

I mean, the NY Times and CBS News can continue to ignore it, but most outlets still pretend to impartiality.
