2. Amazing how THEY could afford to actually SEND a reporter to Chicago

and have him INTERVIEW various people who knew Obama "then"...pro and con...

and of course OUR media cannot seem to get people on a plane ...or even get their local afilliates in Chicago to do a real story on him..

They prefer to sit on their asses in a studio and invite Pat Buchanan & Peggy Noonan and Bill Bennett, to tell us all we need to know :puke:

3. Reporters have to pay $30,000 for a spot on the campaign plane per day

This is why most print media cannot afford to send a reporter to follow a candidate. It's not because they do not want to but because they cannot afford it, especially with advertising rates for newspapers on the decline.

4. Chicago is not on Neptune..and there IS already a very sophisticated news set up there

It ain't rocket science.. and the BBC guy was on his own..not with any candidate.. he was just doing some investigative reporting..like our news venues USED to do.
