Sharron Angle Campaign Shuts Out CBS, NBC Affiliates from Election Night Coverage
CBSNews.com ^ | 29 October 2010

Posted on 10/29/2010 4:34:44 PM PDT by Racehorse

Nevada Republican Senate hopeful Sharron Angle arrived to Las Vegas' McCarran Airport this morning to do some campaigning in Southern Nevada.

The Tea Party-backed candidate was greeted by KLAS reporter Nathan Baca who asked Angle questions as she walked through the airport.

Later in the morning, Angle's campaign team met with local and national media to coordinate press coverage of her on election night. Angle's communications director asked KLAS, the CBS Las Vegas affiliate, to leave the meeting and banned them from covering Angle at the Venetian Hotel on November 2.

She said the reporter's attempt to talk to Angle at the airport was a paparazzi ambush. They also banned the NBC affiliate KSNV because one of their reporters was at the airport as well.

Frankly I don’t blame her. They’re not reporters, they’re DNC operatives.

That should be worth another upward point or two in the polls.
Goooooooooooooo Sharon!

Good, but she’ll probably have to reverse this decision.

The media will band together - even Fox will likely complain about this on behalf of NBC and CBS.

This is the new trend and it’s been a long time coming. The ‘big 3’ only want to cover Republicans for that ‘gotchya’ moment and smear their names. All conservatives should ban the msm. Let the Breitbarts, Foxes, Drudges of the world have access.

Good move. Treat partisan opponents as partisan opponents, whether or not they represent the fossil Press Corpse.

She said the reporter's attempt to talk to Angle

"talk to" or answer shouted attack questions?

“Good. They’re the enemy.”

I completely agree and support Sharron in this. I just wish that more conservative candidates would do the same thing. I, for one, have had enough of the SRM and their garbage. It’s high time to tell them to go pound sand.

I’d like to see them banned but you’re right. obama tried to ban Fox but the other news organizations stood together with FOX. As much as I hate to say it FOX should do the same.
