Well, he might as well considering the stances of the NYT and the LAT. Now if you don't fall in line, you don't get to stand near the would-be first socialist president. The message is clear: create propaganda or go to hell so someone else can.

Obama Plane Pitches Reporters From McCain-Endorsing Papers
Journalists from three major newspapers -- each having endorsed John McCain -- reportedly have been booted from Barack Obama's campaign plane for the final leg of the presidential race.
The Washington Times reported Friday that they were notified of the Obama campaign's decision Thursday evening -- even though the paper has covered Obama from the start.
Executive Editor John Solomon told FOXNews.com that the Obama campaign claimed it didn't have enough seats on the plane, but "I don't think the explanation makes sense to us."
"We've been traveling since 2007 with him. ... We're a relevant newspaper -- every day we break news," Solomon said. "And to suddenly be kicked off the plane for people who haven't covered it as aggressively or thoroughly as we are ... it sort of feels unfair."
He said the newspaper protested but was turned down again by the campaign.
"I can only hope that the candidate who describes himself as wanting to unite the nation doesn't have some sort of litmus test for who he decides gets to cover the campaign," Solomon said, noting that the Obama campaign's decision came just two days after the paper endorsed McCain.
The New York Post and Dallas Morning News also have been kicked off Obama's plane, according to the Web site The Drudge Report.
Representatives from the Post and Morning News could not be reached immediately for comment.
