I Propose that Barack Obama Boycott the M$M
Why the hell does he need them? He can do just like the McCain campaign does and limit access to Obama and Biden, until the M$M begins "respecting" and "deferring" to Obama and Biden. That means no press conferences, interviews, Q&A sessions on the plane or bus, NOTHING. That means any information they get should come through press releases and emails to Obama's supporters.

Zero. Zilch. Nada.

Perhaps he can give an exclusive interview to the reporters he likes, perhaps KO or Rachel MAddow. Fly them out to Chicago and let the, interview him in the Obama Home, and have Obama show them around Chi-Town and make it a 5 part interview series, but only for reporters who RESPECT Obama, like KO and Rachel.

Don't you think that should be the appropriate response for about a month? And in that time, Obama should CRUSH McCain with TV ads so that his message is still getting through, just BYPASS the media altogether until they can get their act together. The Media apparently likes secrecy and game playing. Two can play that game. Let's give it to them.

4. What do you think? Seriously.
I wouldn't give the corrupt corporate owned media the time of day right now. I would do a lot of LOCAL television and special interviews with reporters who respect the campaign and don't SHILL for McCain.

6. If you take it away, the more they'll want access to it.
Fucking D'uh! How do you think that's working for McCain right now. They are practically falling all over themselves to get access to the campaign and Palin and in turn, giving more favorable press coverage to reach that end.
