>>Now for an update on the White House's ongoing effort to kill the press corps. The White House travel office signed a contract last week with an airline called Primaris to fly the press corps to Bush events. The two-month-old company has only one airplane. True, media representatives gave their blessing to the deal. But that was before they learned that the company's president twice had his pilot's license revoked related to his flying of an "unairworthy" aircraft, that the chief executive flopped in his last attempt to start an airline and that the 15-year-old plane itself was damaged in a hailstorm a decade ago and spent most of the past two years mothballed in France. <<

2. Maybe this will wake them up. Hard to believe they would do

this to the media that has kept it's mouth shut for 3 years.

3. Sweet...

I'd have to say, 95% of the media have earned this kind of treatment. Put them in a cattle call.
