Television Station Banned by Obama’s Campaign Defends Joe Biden Interview

 Joe Biden appeared on WFTV in Florida last week and was asked some tough questions, which he didn’t take too kindly to. The Obama campaign notified the television station that a scheduled interview with Biden’swife was cancelled and that they would no longer be granted any interviews with the campaign. Obama apologists immediately began trying to ruin the career of the anchor woman who asked the questions. They immediately began trying to discredit the anchor woman and the television station. This is typical from Obama, instead of debating the opposition he tries to destroy and silence them.

 Evidently the campaign had issues with a news organization trying to do it’s job. Barack Obama has shown a disdain for the media unless they are towing the Obama line, he feels that if the media doesn’t report him as the savior and the healer of souls than they are no longer worthy of their FCC license. His campaign has now repeatedly bullied television stations to only interview him a certain way and to also stop airing ads that are critical of him. I am not going to link to all the posts that I have done on this subject, but if you are either interested or skeptical of what I just claimed, just search my blog and you will find several examples that I have sighted.

 WFTV was the latest example of Obama trying to bully the media into reporting on him they way that he sees fit, but according to this article the television station is not backing down.

The news director of an Orlando-based TV station that conducted an interview with Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) on Thursday, said he and the station stand by the questions anchorwoman Barbara West asked the senator.

 Here is the statement from Robert Jordan, news director for WFTV

“Senator Biden wants to be vice president of the United States, and we are going to ask him tough questions. We are not just going to ask him softball questions. When you get a shot to ask these candidates questions, you want to make the most of it.”

 In other words, the television station has a job to do and they are going to do their best to do it. It is about time that somebody actually asked the questions that many of us have on our minds. I just don’t understand what has taken so long. Many of us on the internet who follow politics, probably more closely than is healthy, have known about all of Obama’s past associations with shady characters and his radical views for a long time and have been frustrated that nobody was reporting them. Barack Obama has been trying to hide his past and with the help of the media he has been successful. Most voters don’t know anything about Obama’s radical friends and views, and those that do and support him just don’t give a damn.

 Now that it is probably too late the tough questions are being asked. Joe Biden’s reaction, and the response of the Obama campaign should tell us all we needed to know.
