No, but someone here has a grudge, so he make a lame attempt to mimmic Drudge... by flipping the story and taking it one step further by bringing up race (shame on you, otto).
Obama replaced a few reporters from papers that didnt endorse him with national news media for the final push of what is an historic election in the US...there are only so many seats on the plane. (daniel...the press pay their own way).
otto....perhaps you agree with Palin as well when she suggested that the press are somehow threatening her First Amendment rights by reporting on her negative campaigning.

HOST: Is the news media doing a good job—are you getting a fair shake, are the Republicans getting a fair shake this year?
PALIN: I don't think they're doing their job when they suggest that calling a candidate out on their record, their plans for this country, and their associations is mean-spirited or negative campaigning. If they convince enough voters that that is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations, then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.

I'm much more concerned that a major party candidate for VP has no understanding of the concept of a free press and constitutionally protected speech than a few reporters loosing their seat on a campaign plane in the final days of the campaign.
