Secret Service Drags Reporter Away From Air Force One

  By and large the press is in the tank for the president. We all know it, it is no big secret. But the question that needs to be asked is for how long? I think that the press will eventually turn on the president as he continues to treat them with contempt and disdain. When it comes to the press, the president’s arrogance is on full display and it is only a matter of time before they get tired of him shitting on them.

  The stories about the president and the press are growing. They are becoming legendary. It started with him kicking several reporters off his campaign plane while he was still a candidate, his hand selecting which reporters will be allowed to ask him questions, and it has continued to the two recent examples of the president shunning the media while releasing his own White House edition “media report” through the propaganda arm of the administration.

  Judging by his past removal of reporters from his plane because the reporters did not agree with him, it should come as no surprise that today a reporter was dragged kicking and screaming away from Air Force One.

  She was in the designated media area and she holds White House credentials, yet she was treated like she had committed a crime just because she wanted to hand the president a letter asking him to uphold traditional marriage. A position that this president claims to hold, by the way.

  This is just another example of the president and his closely guarded image. This reporter needed to be removed because the image conscious president doesn’t want it to look like there is anyone in the world who disagrees with him. Any confrontation looks bad, even if he and the reporter hold the same position on an issue. Therefor the reporter had to be removed. Unfortunately, it didn’t go down as discreetly as the president would have hoped.

  It is only a matter of time that the media turns on this president if he keeps treating them this way and I wouldn’t blame them if they did. After all, they are responsible for getting him elected in the first place, you would think that he would say thank you and at least show them a little respect.
