Mike Papantonio of GoLeft TV and Air America's Ring of Fire appears on Your World with Neil Cavuto to talk about Joe Biden's recent interview on a local Orlando station, and the campaign's decision to limit WFTV's access to Obama and Biden.

1. Why Not?

If I were Obama, Faux News would have no presidential press passes come January 20.
Why should the television version of the Weekly World News have access to the press pool?
Why not give it to a REAL news organization?

8. On Jan 21

Faux News and their gear should be thrown off the WH grounds. Let them pick up the CSPAN feed.

The Bushitas have been doing this for 8 years. When is the last time Helen Thomas was able to ask * a question.

2. The media wasn't allowed to talk to Palin for a month

Until she was programmed with some cute one liners and a crash course in the economy and world affairs.

3. Obama should push to reverse Clinton's Fascist Telecommunications Act

4. Damn media is in the tank for Obama!

Neil Cavuto was salivating with desire to praise Obama. The media has clearly given him a pass!


:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:


How about this for access? No more Fox News posted on DU. Especially Neil Cavuto and Mike Papantonio. He really disappoints me in these interviews. Why didn't he mention the McCain campaign canceling their Larry King Live appearance after Campbell Brown was oh-so-harsh when asking exactly what experience Sarah Palin has.

5. WFTV and Barbara West behaved irresponsibly & unprofessionally.

They should be turned away.

The Biden interview was bullshit from start to finish. There are plenty of real, valid questions from a CONSERVATIVE perspective they could have posed. Instead they used their valuable time to ask him to comment on & defend a bunch of distortions & lies.

6. West's questions were leading and loaded. That's where she was wrong.

7. When I hear "Fox new" I want to...

-Gouge out my ear drums with a pointy stick
-projectile vomit
-push crayons in to my nose until my brain shuts it's stupid mouth
