BWAHAHAHA - THEY REMOVE ALL THE STORIES ABOUT OBAMANURE'S ELDEST DAUGHTER GOING TO MEXICO FOR SPRING BREAK, AND THEN THE EARTHQUAKE COMES.
CNN WAS "SORRY" IT HAD TO REPORT THIS, AND THEY WOULDN'T HAVE EXCEPT FOR THE EARTHQUAKE.
=========================
News broke this morning on The Blaze that several news outlets had removed a story about Malia Obama heading to Mexico for Spring Break. This raised two important questions: 1) Why was the story being scrubbed and 2) Why was the eldest Obama daughter vacationing in an area that has been deemed unsafe by The State Department? Glenn reacted on radio today.
He started off the radio show wondering if such a scrubbing had happened before, and what exactly the cause was.
“Why are all these stories being taken down? Is the story false? Have they been removed for security reasons? Or is somebody telling these people to remove stories?” Glenn wondered after reading the initial report.
They agreed that it must have been for security reasons, as well as a general policy of “Leave the kids alone” that exists with most first families and their young children.
Regardless of why the story was removed Glenn said that he hoped Malia was safely on her way home after the story was leaked to the press.
“I would hope that she’s being pulled back,” Glenn said. “The minute that story broke, she should have been back on a plane.”
Later in the program, Glenn said that Politico had confirmed that the White House was behind the removal. Kristina Schake, Communications Director to the First Lady, told Politico: ”From the beginning of the administration, the White House has asked news outlets not to report on or photograph the Obama children when they are not with their parents and there is no vital news interest. We have reminded outlets of this request in order to protect the privacy and security of these girls.”
Nevertheless, this scenario raised an interesting question: Why would the President allow his thirteen year old child to go to Mexico in the first place? After all, the same security concerns that led to the removal of these stories should be considered where to send a child for vacation.
