Obama loves print journalism!
Just in case you thought that things couldn't get much sillier on the relations between the president elect and the news media, you will be happy to know that some people are watching everything very closely.
The headline says it all: "Obama ignores TV networks at presser."
Six reporters called on, all from print. Media conspiracy?
(Via E&P.)
Wednesday update: And he takes no questions from Fox News.

He's just balancing his karma from late in the campaign when broadcast got all the love.

What happened to Ben's comment?

I deleted it. It had nothing to do with this post, it was a reprint of his own blog post, and it was signed by a different name.

Will those new rules apply to all future comments?

John,
I am not sure if there is a media conspiracy going on with Obama. If I understand your post correctly, only print media was called on at a press conference. Although that may appear to be some sort of bias, I am not sure it proves anything. Did you ask Jorge Cornell?
Roch,
Stay on topic!

Maybe. Obviously, I'm thinking about ways to raise the level of discussion here.
And given Ben's comment above, he doesn't really care.

JR: "I'm thinking about ways to raise the level of discussion here."
That is really funny!

Maybe you should start a discussion on how to actually cover relevant issues in the community. Maybe a focus on drilling down to the truth. I no longer read the paper because it is mainly focused on four things:
1. Race baiting
2. Propoganda for the liberal agenda
3. All Associated Press stories all the time
4. Race baiting
