FACTS ARE SO ANNOYING – AT 12:52 P.M. ET:   Donald Trump recently revoked the campaign press credentials of the Washington Post.  The reactions from the press went from medical shock to fears of Nazism.

Uh, just a sec.  We are reminded that one Barack Hussein Obama Jr. did the same thing, and the sky remained firmly in place.  From American Thinker: 

Joe Concha of Mediaite remembers what happened 8 years ago, and contrasts the media response in the two instances:

The year was 2008. The candidate had a big lead in the polls going into election day. And in a preview of how petulant he would be act as Commander-in-Chief as it pertains to his treatment of the press, Barack Obama decided he didn’t like what three newspapers were writing about him, so he kicked its reporters off his campaign plane.

As Concha points out, the Obama campaign claimed that there simply wasn't enough space, instead of being honest, as Trump has been, about the unfavorable coverage being the root of the matter. Somehow, on the Obama plane there was room for Glamour, Ebony, and Jet, but no room for the Dallas Morning News, New York Post or Washington Times.

COMMENT:  I get so much serious international stuff from Glamour, so I do understand.  All those inside stories of haircuts. 

But the fact is, as Concha points out, that there was virtually no press reaction to Obama's 2008 tantrum.  Only when the Republican slapped the wrist of a journalist was there warning of impending fascism.

There is no bias in the press.  And the Sun did not come out this morning.
