The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states -- and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president!
The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday to make room for network bigwigs -- and possibly for the inclusion of reporters from two black magazines, ESSENCE and JET, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Despite pleas from top editors of the three newspapers that have covered the campaign for months at extraordinary cost, the Obama campaign says their reporters -- and possibly others -- will have to vacate their coveted seats so more power players can document the final days of Sen. Barack Obama's historic campaign to become the first black American president.

Some told the DRUDGE REPORT that the reporters are being ousted to bring on documentary film-makers to record the final days; others expect to see on board more sympathetic members of the media, including the NY TIMES' Maureen Dowd, who once complained that she was barred from McCain's Straight Talk Express airplane.
After a week of quiet but desperate behind-the-scenes negotiations, the reporters of the three papers heard last night that they were definitely off for the final swing. They are already planning how to cover the final days by flying commercial or driving from event to event.
Developing...
Fairness Doctrine already kicking in.
They can save their money. We’re not reading the coverage anyway.
And the body count below keeps growing.
More of what critical media will experience if the Obama gets elected. The Obama is not very kind to private citizens who disagree w/ him either.
Those papers I am.
Well, let’s just step up the prayers to see Obama off the airplane too.
Hey, at least they were ON THE GROUND when it happened...
“They can save their money. We’re not reading the coverage anyway.”
Amen.
If Comrade Zero wins, the campaign to kick all of them out starts the next day.

This is unbelievable. Welcome to the Obama administration. Even Megyn Kelly asked an Obama spokesman the other day if O will “ban” news reporters from the White House if they ask questions he doesn’t like. The spokesman didn’t really answer.
Had to make room for the people from Mad magazine..
My husband said if they are making an Obamagod documentary, they are going to have to toss off a lot more than 3 reporters...I would guess the ones that don’t go glassy eyed and start slobbering on themselves (doing a Matthews) in his presence will go next.
