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.

A good strategic move. You ambush our candidate, we deny you coverage.

Why does she need any of them? Just issue a press release and tell them all to suck it.

FINALLY! Republicans wise up. The corrupt MSM serves NO purpose other than to advance their naked liberal agenda.

She’s really doing them a favor.

They’ll feel much more at home at Dingy Harry’s wake.

The rule is “never go to war with a man who buys ink by the barrel

It will be interesting to see if it still holds true

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

Ha...they are all hungry for viewers....and will fold like Dingy Harry...

Otherwise...let it drag out in the court like the dems would do....

see a resolution in 2012...

ALL conservative candidates should do the same. And include all the anti-Constitutionalist press. We should make it abundantly clear that they are political advocates, not journalists, and we categorically reject their credentials and their validity.

And FBN of course.

We do not bow to the enemy. We do not respect the ministry of propoganda. We no longer willingly sacrifice ourselves in hopes of being liked by a bunch of self obsessed cretins.
