- Troika37, on 03/20/2009, -42/+94Perhaps there's no teleprompter access?
- dorsey47, on 03/20/2009, -25/+70Is this satire? Its the L.A. times...not the Onion? Where is the outrage?
- mountianweb1, on 03/20/2009, -24/+68Not entirely true, you missed the KEY word in who was doing the award "federation of BLACK community newspapers ", clearly THEY will be there. The non black press just did not understand the word "transparent "...
- Janinco, on 03/21/2009, -24/+62"The National Newspaper Association, despite its innocuous name, is actually an association of far-left publications that includes “Final Call” — the paper published by Louis Farrakhan’s Nation of Islam: NNPA - Article - member papers."
And that explains why Obama doesn’t want the mainstream press at this award ceremony. - aletoledo, on 03/20/2009, -25/+63Let me guess, HuffingtonPost is receiving some award?
- lindenwold, on 03/20/2009, -7/+39are you retarded?
black run newspapers, white run newspapers, what the ***** are you talking about? - KDX200rider, on 03/21/2009, -26/+57Has the teleprompter been reached for comment? I am sure glad the new administration is sticking to their campaign promise of openness and transparency.
- ironhide, on 03/22/2009, -20/+46I'm sorry, why should I care that the press can't attend a award ceremony?
- sultanknish, on 03/20/2009, -24/+48All the news we're allowed to print
- AshamedAmerican, on 03/22/2009, -30/+53Right wing sensationalist circle jerk.
- ReidFleming, on 03/22/2009, -17/+39This is a story? A blurb with no amplifying information? Sheesh! Does nobody remember the last eight years of having EVERYTHING behind closed doors?
- lindenwold, on 03/20/2009, -32/+54it's like his presidency is one big joke - and we know the punchline is gonna be funny, but we never get to hear it.
- fleischner, on 03/20/2009, -22/+43As long as the press has access to the coffins of our returning fallen heroes, that's good enough for me.
/s - Haz3rd, on 03/22/2009, -13/+33Clearly this is the first step in Obama's secret totalitarian, racist, socialist, Muslim regime.
- shnizep, on 03/21/2009, -24/+43This is outrageous. This is OUR White House not his. We pay for it I want to know what's going on in there. Obama! Be a servant of the people for once instead of your agenda.
- wreckosaurus, on 03/22/2009, -9/+28Because NOBAMA!!!1 Don't you get it? He's a muslim terrist librul, everything he does is a secret plot to undermine our pure white american christian heritage.
- chriskzoo, on 03/21/2009, -6/+21Jake Tapper? You mean the one guy who is actually calling Obama on the BS and making Gibbs look like a fool?
- HappyScrappy, on 03/22/2009, -7/+22Here's the whole day schedule.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2009/03/president_ ...
It doesn't look like he's avoiding the press entirely, even for one day. It appears the dinner isn't open though. This fails to strike me as weird. Like the President can't have an event where the press isn't invited? - Gandalff, on 03/21/2009, -22/+37HE is Transparent alright!!! Just not with the Press Corp that fawn over him. They must feel terrible. sarc/
- shnizep, on 03/21/2009, -8/+22Funny how it's on the blog section. This should make the front page of every major publication.
- wreckosaurus, on 03/22/2009, -19/+33How come these wingnut circle jerks only come out at night?
- citizenhelder, on 03/22/2009, -7/+20Buried for lack of details in article that would make this in any way remotely interesting or relevant to how the nation will be led. Furthermore, buried for the bigoted remarks in both comment sections of this item and the article itself. Right wing nutcases who can't get over the fact that their former president lied to the press about more important things, or that their candidate for vice-president couldn't even have a single real press conference; only flubbed interviews.
- inactive, on 03/21/2009, -27/+40Who is he recieving his 'award' from? The Federation of 'BLACK' Community Newspapers? Is there a WHITE Federation of Newspapers? And if there was, do you think that this Obama would accept an award from them? Racial hypocracy.
- CardHockman, on 03/22/2009, -21/+34the level of bigotry in these comments is pretty alarming
- OriginalLucid1, on 03/22/2009, -5/+18WTF is a "black newspaper"? It's 2009, aren't we supposed to be over differentiating betwixt blacks and whites?
- scriptcoder, on 03/22/2009, -8/+18Well is there a federation of white newspapers? He's got a point.
- CardHockman, on 03/22/2009, -6/+14what could possibly go on at this ceremony that anyone would want to know about
- inactive, on 03/22/2009, -0/+8I think he's a little delusional...the best thing for him might be to plead insanity now.
- TopJack, on 03/22/2009, -13/+21More of Michael Steele's "Dawgs" trying to flood dig with neocon propaganda.
Buried. - Dustin00, on 03/22/2009, -9/+17Award Ceremony.
*yawn*
Don't care. - IVillageIdiot, on 03/21/2009, -27/+34Typical Dem move, "Did you bring the envelopes with the cash!?!?!?", "We better bar the press from the event, we don't want them to snooping around while we're giving cash away to constituents..."
I hear they want to extend the “Stimulus” to the newspapers now. I wonder if they will have the nads to restrict it to JUST the ones that are 95% Dems (all of them except WSJ where you‘re required to do math) and who wrote adulatory columns about any Dem that was running, and snide, petty, ½ truths about the GOP?
I’ll bet they do… it’s an emergency, right? The Dem propaganda machine is running with the dinosaurs and they don’t yet have a ring through the nose of the new species…. - SpeedSteamBoat, on 03/22/2009, -18/+25Nonsense like this is why blogging is ***** retarded. This obviously isn't the full story, but that's not stopping any of right wing "Change we can baleave in hahahaggaggaal" *****.
*****. - XDingoX83, on 03/22/2009, -2/+9So what your saying is that since Obama doesn't want any critics its okay to not let the press in and question him at all because it might make him look bad. hmmmmmmm interesting
- DAVENP0RT, on 03/22/2009, -1/+7I'm sure that a stimulus to the press is somehow unconstitutional. If the government starts buying stakes in newspapers, it seems like it would compromise the freedom of the press. It'd be the equivalent of the government pouring money into a church to keep it operational. Of course, Congress usually gets what Congress wants, so it's likely that nobody would lift a finger.
- Kangaroo12001, on 03/22/2009, -1/+7There were tons of black people at St Patricks Day at every bar here. What White events are you referring to?
- ironhide, on 03/22/2009, -2/+7/s? Please?
- JB54321, on 03/22/2009, -4/+9I'm outraged! I want to know when he is taking a dump! Why isn't that on the schedule and why isn't the press invited!
- JoeQuixote, on 03/22/2009, -4/+9Took a whole 5 comments down to find a good Bush bashing. Maybe people are really realizing he's gone and there's a new president. Wow.
- 5urr3al5am, on 03/22/2009, -5/+10When Obama talks the economy tanks! 'nough said
- kolobcreek, on 03/22/2009, -2/+7I'm assuming you're serious. WTF would you accept an award if you wanted some privacy?
- inactive, on 03/22/2009, -3/+8Can I have my change back?
- inajeep, on 03/22/2009, -11/+16ha I haven't heard that a million times yet.
- inajeep, on 03/22/2009, -7/+11Can't tell if your being sarcastic because such people exist and are on digg. Nor can i tell from your posting history.
- Jordan117, on 03/22/2009, -8/+12"President Obama talks 'post-bubble' economic growth" - Bloomberg News

You can add to that pretty much every town meeting and Q&A Obama has ever done. - murrdpirate, on 03/22/2009, -2/+6Newspapers are not so black and white......hahahah i crack myself up.
- booyahbitch, on 03/22/2009, -7/+10These comments suck almost as bad as the ones on the LA Times site...what a bunch of Racist asshats!
- ironhide, on 03/22/2009, -5/+8Buried for being a child.
- inactive, on 03/22/2009, -1/+4because Digg is the center of the political universe
- perrym, on 03/22/2009, -3/+6even if it is /s, he is still a prick regardless.
