Media scrubs Malia Obama vacation story

Numerous world media outlets were asked to scrub stories they had posted concerning First Daughter Mahlia's Mexican vacation with 12 friends, 25 Secret service and two U.S. Government jets. Not all media cooperated .... see Edmonton, Alberta, Canada "Edmonton Journal" article here.

The argument given was " the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest."

At least one blogger(Bradford Tiernan ) has observed:
"The socialist uses his daughters when needed politically (i.e., to support Sandra Fluke) but then "asks" the media to scrub anything that could look politically bad concerning his daughters (i.e., using tax payers money for over 25 secret service agents to gaurd his daughter and her friends on a vacation to mexico.) [I wonder who paid the airfare for the daughter's friends, guess we wont know now!]

Obama has spoke about Sasha and Malia, in discussing everything from the rescue of an American aid worker from Somalian pirates to the contraception issue with Rush Limbaugh. His daughters are aslo prominent in a family photo being used by his reelection campaign ads.

SO, the media should report about his daughter, IF IT HELPS HIS CAMPAIGN; but.

The media SHOULD NOT report, if it doesn't look too good politically.

I think you've got that correct Bradford!
