Gingrich campaign kicks media off flights

[bigrebnc1775]

I'd like to know that myself. Where does the ever perfect CG get her "media" that is so unbiased and un-manipulated? Inquiring minds want to know...

A lot of it is from sources that are not publicly available. Membership only.

Ah...directly out of your ass then. Fair enough.

obama did it did you have a problem with it then?

Gingrich campaign to traveling press: Find your own damn ride

For each caucus or primary during the 2012 presidential campaign, Gingrich's campaign has organized transportation for the reporters assigned to cover him--as is customary for nearly every presidential candidate. Each news outlet chips in to pay for the bus that trails Gingrich between each stop, and the campaign often lets reporters pay for a seat on charter flights for longer journeys. Many times, it's the only way to ensure the national media are with him at each public appearance.

Then, the campaign dropped a bomb: No reporters would be allowed to fly with Gingrich on his campaign swing on Monday, when his schedule calls for more than 1,000 miles of travel, complete with campaign stops from the panhandle near the Alabama border to Miami.

Also, the press was no longer invited to fly with Gingrich to the next contest in Nevada, which will hold its Republican caucuses on Feb. 4.

No one from Gingrich's campaign would say on the record why the reporters were no longer invited to travel with the candidate.

"I don't have to give you a reason," R.C. Hammond, a Gingrich spokesman, said.

Way to go Newt. Piss off the press while you're running for POTUS. That's about the stupidest thing you've ever done.

You just handed the nomination to Romney.....

I remember Obama doing exactly the same thing. Look how it worked for him.
