"Why won't Obama allow our news cameras in? We will investigate after the Oscars"
WHAS Channel 11 the Louisville, KY ABC affilliate keep making this announcement during commercial breaks. They are making him sound real sinister. I think he was speaking today at a local gathering at $25 a ticket.

1. ABC? No surprise. They've given up the pretense of being fair and balanced.
:argh:

8. WHAS is owned by Belo - follow the money
Belo owns WHAS along with 18 other TV stations (not all of them are ABC). It also owns four daily newspapers, seven cable news channels, and thirty websites.

Belo contributes 88.5% of its political donations to Democrats.

Just trying to keep the record straight.

In light of these facts, it's curious that they are hammering on Obama. It sure makes one wonder.

2. There should be some news. Sounds like a private fundraiser which is closed usually.

3. Sounds like giving Obama a lot of free TV time.
Kind of funny.

4. Yeah, I'm watching a Louisville station and the blow-dried airhead
is practically breathless with anticipation of sharing his latest "scandal" of Barrack Obama with the Kentuckian audience.

Hey, jerk, maybe it is a closed meeting? How about wanting to meet with real people and not blow-dried airheads for a change? That he didn't have them at the top of HIS agenda? That he doesn't give a damn about WHAS-TV 11? I can think of a hundred reasons and none of them scandal-worthy.

5. ????
I was there. It was a simple fundraiser. No big deal. He gave a nice speech and didn't say anything controversial.

It was my impression that these things were often closed.

7. It's also worth noting that Bush, Cheney and Scalia.....
...and the rest of the malAdministration have done HUNDREDS of closed door events with nary a peep from the media. What were THEY hiding? Selling our souls to aliens? Killing us and turning our body fat to fuel?

6. It's the only way to get people to watch- fake a controversy.
