Obama uses the BAN STICK on a reporter; for not comporting to HIS LINE !
Posted by kotang at 9:19 AMThe creation and dissemination of this video has earned a San Francisco reporter a virtual silencing.
His 'official' line to reporters is, there is no dissent tolerated, and no deviation from your given talking points
And complaining about it? Just wait and see! You WILL do as you are told, or you WILL FACE CONSEQUENCES!
I'll give kudos where it's due, and this newspaper and reporter deserve credit for standing up to Barack Hussein Obama, the "I WON".
How are we supposed to know what BHO is up to? Reporters have always given The WON! a free pass; there's very few tough questions allowed. Any heckling or, in this case a very mild reproach by fellow travelers, is not allowed, under pain of filter.
You WILL LEARN what you can say, and when you can say it, or you WILL NOT be allowed to access our IMPERIAL PRESIDNET. Your talking points are sent out every morning; there will be no deviation from the narrow lines we wish to convey.
OR ELSE.
That will be all. Return to your cubicles.
Good DAY!

Obama Administration punishes reporter for using multimedia
White House officials have banished one of the best political reporters in the country from the approved pool of journalists covering presidential visits to the Bay Area for using now-standard multimedia tools to gather the news.
The Chronicle's Carla Marinucci - who, like many contemporary reporters, has a phone with video capabilities on her at all times - pulled out a small video camera last week and shot some protesters interrupting an Obama fundraiser at the St. Regis Hotel.
How are we supposed to know what BHO is up to? Reporters have always given The WON! a free pass; there's very few tough questions allowed. Any heckling or, in this case a very mild reproach by fellow travelers, is not allowed, under pain of filter.
What's worse: more than a few journalists familiar with this story are aware of some implied threats from the White House of additional and wider punishment if Carla's spanking became public. Really? That's a heavy hand usually reserved for places other than the land of the free.
But bravery is a challenge, in particular for White House correspondents, most of whom are seasoned and capable journalists. They live a little bit in a gilded cage where they have access to the most powerful man in the world but must obey the rules whether they make sense or not.
CBS News reporter, Mark Knoller, has publicly protested the limited press access to Obama fundraisers, calling the policy "inconsistent." "It's no way to do business," wrote Politico's Julie Mason, "especially [for] a candidate who prides himself on transparency."
A 2009 blog by the White House Director of New Media states that "President Obama is committed to making his administration the most open and transparent in history."
Not last week.
