Shut Out: White House Punishes Boston Herald for Paper’s Romney Coverage

If you’re a news source, and the White House doesn‘t like what you’re putting on your front page, watch out.

The Boston Herald has just released e-mails between the outlet and White House spokesman Matt Lehrich, in which Lehrich explains why the administration has decided to deny full access to one of the Herald’s reporters. Why? Lehrich questions if the Herald is “unbiased.” Why exactly? Because he objected to an op-ed by Mitt Romney being placed on the paper’s front page in March, and news of a presidential visit not getting the same treatment.

From the Herald:

The White House Press Office has refused to give the Boston Herald full access to President Obama’s Boston fund-raiser today, in e-mails objecting to the newspaper’s front page placement of a Mitt Romney op-ed, saying pool reporters are chosen based on whether they cover the news “fairly.”

“I tend to consider the degree to which papers have demonstrated to covering the White House regularly and fairly in determining local pool reporters,” White House spokesman Matt Lehrich wrote in response to a Herald request for full access to the presidential visit.

“My point about the op-ed was not that you ran it but that it was the full front page, which excluded any coverage of the visit of a sitting US President to Boston. I think that raises a fair question about whether the paper is unbiased in its coverage of the President’s visits,” Lehrich wrote.

Lehrich added that pool duty had already been granted to a reporter from the Boston Globe, but that didn’t stop him from making his comments.

Still, he did leave the door open for future assignments. “As we have in the past — including the multiple occasions on which the Herald has supplied local pool reporters — we will continue to consider the Herald for local pool duty for future visits,” Lehrich wrote.

“Newspapers don’t have to be unbiased to get access.” Boston University journalism professor Fred Bayles told the Herald. “You can’t just let only the newspapers you want in.”

    Translation: Only news media that is pro-Obama will be allowed to cover him. Imagine the uproar that would be coming from the main stream media if Bush had done something like this? Providing unbiased news is not important to the mainstream press, what is important is influencing the public in the “correct” direction. Political view is more important then the news. Every time I see a show with a group of journalists sitting around pompously and arrogantly proclaiming themselves the sacred holders of the truth in the United States I want to gag. They believe that only they can understand what is really going on in the country and only they can they explain it to the ignorant and unintelligent masses. Most of them are nothing but political whores.

      If the Bush administration had done as you suggested, they wouldn’t have gotten ANY coverage. Fox was at best neutral. The reason all the other media‘s losing viewership is something they can’t admit. That their biased coverage has so turned people off that they would rather do without. Let me be clear on this though… I don’t want Fox to be a cheerleader for our side either. I want the facts.. no spin. I don;t like the big “O” saying he has the no spin zone. The guests he has on DO spin, its just he usually has a dissenting opinion to cancel out. Shep‘ has a ’No Spin Show” but that makes it kinda dry for most peoples taste.

      13th you have it backwards. Just for clarification 53% do pay taxes, 47% do not. Still a extremely high percentage of people. I think that if you are a wage earner, no matter how little you make you should have to pay something, no matter how small, in Federal Taxes. That way everyone would have a “stake in the game” so to speak. Maybe then more people would be concerned about government spending. In addition do away with “earned income” tax returns. Come tax time no one should get money from the government when they have paid nothing in Federal Income taxes.

      freedom of press…
      in my mind… it seems illegal to deny one press organization without denying them all. you either are allowing press, or you are not.. if you are allowing them, but can’t “fit everyone”, then make it first come first enter. make them camp outside for a “ticket”… it’s not pick and choose the press coverage you want.. you can‘t call ’bias’ and practice bias yourself within the same sentence.. wth is that?

      …. Typical …

      Hmmmm, that is interesting. The radar doesn’t show heavy weather in the area. Just showers.

      Wonder if we will have transparency on the real real reason they changed landing fields?

      With this White House, it’s play my way or hit the highway. Do they really think Americans that naive that we don’t see the lefty-bias of the New York Times, Huffy Post, and most of the TV stations? This emperor is not only naked, he is clueless. We know what they’re up to now and they can no longer get away with all the media fawning.

      if only this would lead to a state run paper where Obama could just print the truth directly, then there wouldn’t be these bothersome controversies, maybe something like Pravda, now that was journalism a government can approve of!…

      Reporters have absolutely no obligation to give the POTUS favorable news coverage or coverage at all if they so choose this is not supposed to be Venezuela or North Korea this is supposed to be The United States of America. Treating the press like this has become this White House’s standard operating procedure and is in and of itself an impeachable offense in my humble opinion.

      I just read in the Miami Herald that Hugo Chavez just took over an opposition newspaper that published a leak about Iran building two military bases in Venezuela. Sounds familiar?
