Yes it’s conspiracy.

The DNC made the YouTube as well.

The motive is displayed in the mega bump the entire MSM claims Obama has gotten out of it.

As a corporation The Times Company has seen rapidly decreasing revenue for years. In order to prop up their flagship, the company has sold off some of their most lucrative properties. This includes their whole broadcast division, several of their smaller but profitable daily papers and recently their web information service answers.com. Obama had floated the idea of a “newspaper bailout” while campaigning. What better way to appeal to a mostly corrupt print media industry. But he realized early in his term that Congress and the public would shoot it down. The White House may still be holding out this carrot, in private, to The Times and other disintegrating Big City newspapers as a possibility in a second term.

I was once involved in some (friendly) articles written about me. I offered to review and comment on their drafts, and was politely told that would be a MAJOR VIOLATION of journalistic standards...which I didn’t really agree with for non-controversial (and friendly) copy (a little media lingo there) - but I respected the standard, since, if you do a hit piece, why give the hit’ee control over it.

In this case, its APPALLING that a ‘journalist’ would have the Obama Administration review stories before publishing.

They might as well be the part of the White House, if they’re doing that.

Rat’s eating their own in a self-serving act to show loyalty to the Obama politburo.

Looks like things aren’t so happy in Obama Land.

With few exceptions, America doesn’t have an independent, free press. It has a propaganda arm of the democratic party.
