We read:
"The White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.”
“I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters,” White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in response to a Herald request for full access to the presidential visit.
“My point about the op-ed was not that you ran it but that it was the full front page, which excluded any coverage of the visit of a sitting US President to Boston. I think that raises a fair question about whether the paper is unbiased in its coverage of the President’s visits,”
Romney spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom defended Romney’s March 8 opinion piece: “That op-ed was about jobs, which apparently is a sensitive subject for the thin-skinned people around the president.

If someone treated me like crap, why in the world would I want them to hang out with me?
Anon 12:49 - that pretty much sums up how the majority of the country feels about this one-hit wonder and his administration.....
Hmmm... freedom of the press? Did I miss the 'liberal' qualifier in that amendment?
NOTE TO ALL THE MINDLESS DUPES WHO BELIEVE THE MEDIA (IS NOT) BIASED;
When was the last time the leftist media stood still for censorship and punitive treatmant of one of it's own?

Who cares? I will read and watch what I want, not what some right wing doofus wants.

Ah yes, the oh so tolerant left./S
The first amendment says nothing about political leanings. The most transparent administration ever, right? There re new examples almost daily about this administration saying one thing and doing another.

---Because you're the president of EVERYONE in the country, which means you need to speak to everyone. George W. Bush had to put up with that old bitch from the AP, remember her? Did GWB got rid of her? Did he get rid of stupid liberals in the media? No. When he gave his press conferences, he allowed them to ask questions. That's why GWB is a man while Obama's a chimp.

Greggie,
So, President Obama is YOUR president?
zerObama is a fascist.
12;49,
you mean treated like someone who poorly ran a country? and made bad decisions almost daily? who couldn't care less about the price of gas? who has broken and lied about many campaign promises? who hates Jews?
anon402,
Nope. Try again, bozo.
I'm not sure how giving free access to a major newspaper can be compared to "hanging out" with them...But the left has always had a difficult time using language accurately rather than hyperbolically or otherwise twisting it to fit their needs.
Just like all dictators and tyrants you force the news to only print favor to you HITLER,STALIN,MUSSOLINII,MAO, were about the same
