Obama campaign cuts off Florida TV station from future interviews--it had the audacity to ask Biden tough questions

Barbara West, a reporter for WFTV in Orlando, finally asks gives the people what they want: tough questioning of a one of the two men at the top of the Democratic ticket.



She hits Joe Biden on ACORN, "spreading the wealth," and even asks Biden "What do you say to the people who are concerned that Barack Obama will want to turn America into a socialist country much like Sweden."

It's the best five minutes of television I've seen this year. And Biden gets in one of his famous lies. He falsely states that the Barack Obama did not pay ACORN to register voters, when in fact he did.

In another reminder of how childish the Obama-Biden campaign is regarding media who won't fawn over them, WFTV has been cut off from future contacts with the campaign.

From the Orlando Sentinel:

Biden so disliked West's line of questioning that the Obama campaign canceled a WFTV interview with Jill Biden, the candidate's wife.

"This cancellation is non-negotiable, and further opportunities for your station to interview with this campaign are unlikely, at best for the duration of the remaining days until the election," wrote Laura K. McGinnis, Central Florida communications director for the Obama campaign.

McGinnis said the Biden cancellation was "a result of her husband's experience yesterday during the satellite interview with Barbara West."

Most Congressional Democrats favor a return to the ludicrously misnamed "Fairness Doctrine," which will stifle free speech on our airwaves.

Let West know what a good job she is doing by e-mailing her at barbara.west@wftv.com.

H/T to The Radio Patriot for the address.
