Obama's not the only candidate to play hardball with the press. McCain's campaign has reportedly barred columnists Joe Klein and Maureen Dowd, who have been critical of the Republican candidate, from its campaign plane.

Reporters were told to find alternative transportation by Sunday so that the plane could accommodate "network bigwigs" and reporters from two black magazines, Essence and Jet.

Oh Please...................

Both Joe Klein and Maureen Dowd are columnists and both are not daily news reporters. Obama ditched daily news reporters who have been following him for 1 year and once their editorial section of their respected newspaper endorsed McClain, it was sayanara to those daily news reporters.

Too bad newspaper don't just report the news anymore, every story is flavored with bias these days.

This may help them determine the seating charts. At the same time, it may help people to figure out if there is any potential bias in the reporting of their favourite paper.

  • 240 daily papers have endorsed Obama
  • 114 daily papers have endorsed McCain
  • 21 daily papers have chosen not to make an endorsement
  • The circulation of the Obama-endorsing papers is 21 million
  • The circulation of the McCain-endorsing papers is 7 million
  • 50 papers have switched from Bush in 2004 to Obama now
  • 4 papers have switched to McCain
  • Weekly papers - 83 endorsing Obama
  • Weekly papers - 16 endorsing McCain
  • College papers - 65 endorsing Obama
  • College papers - 1 endorsing McCain
So, there are newspapers on each side of the campaign, but the odds are that your regular paper is endorsing Obama.
