Why Is the Story About Malia Obama Vacationing in Mexico Disappearing from the Web?


UPDATE: The Administration has just responded to the disappearing stories.

Read it here.


Have you heard that Malia Obama, the president’s daughter, is reportedly spending her spring break in Oaxaca, Mexico? Allegedly, she’s jetting off with some of her classmates and 25 Secret Service agents to a country that the State Department has said all Americans should avoid. But something is different about the latest “Obama vacation controversy:” references to it are disappearing from the Internet — and fast.

Around 3:00 EST, a Telegraph story reporting on the event was the first to vanish (note how the url remains the same in the “before” and “after”):

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

Before

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

After

Then, the related Huffington Post article was found to be linking back to a completely unrelated Yahoo News page titled “Senegal Music Star Youssou Ndour Hits Campaign Trail.”

The Huffington Post article:

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

Links to this site:

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

The Yahoo News story that HuffPo links to makes no mention of Malia Obama or her Mexican vacation. This raises two possibilities: either HuffPo has made an error in its link, or Yahoo has also removed its “Malia in Mexico” story. The latter more likely considering that the “-obamas-daughter-spends-springbreak-in-Mexico” url is still present in the Yahoo story.

And now, the link to the Huffington Post article on Google redirects to the site’s main page; the page itself is gone.

In addition to larger news organizations, smaller sites are also removing their stories.

Free Republic removed a related discussion thread:

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

And “Global Grind” removed its related article:

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

Of these sites, the only one to state a reason for the change was “Free Republic,“ where the Admin wrote ”Leave the kids alone.”

So that raises the question: Why were all of these sites taken down? Is the story false? Were they removed for security reasons?

Consider that the story still lives (as of this publication)* on the site of The Australian, which uses a story from the well-respected AFP (a sort of Associated Press for France):

Malia Obama Oaxaca, Mexico Vacation Story Disappearing from the Web

So far, no outlets have explained why the stories have been removed. It will be interesting to see if they do.

The Blaze’s Jonathon M. Seidl contributed to this report.

*The Australian has since removed its article.

UPDATE:

Buzzfeed is now reporting that it is a “long tradition” not to report on presidential kids’ vacation plans, citing this as the possible reason for the many unexplained retractions.

If this is the case, it still raises questions as to why Malia was allowed to vacation in a country that the State Department recommends no American travels to.

Neither AFP nor the White House responded to Buzzfeed’s request for comment.

UPDATE II:

The Montreal Gazette has now posted the story of the vacation. It’s one of the only sites that is reporting on it. Interestingly, the story is actually attributed to the AFP (mentioned above). You can read it here.

    Its OK to attack Palins children and suggest that they should be post birth aborted, and, called white trash, ok to attack Bushs children and suggest they be raped, but Obamas children are off limits. just more of the dirty double standard form the left.

      No, it’s absolutely not right to do that to kids on the right. By the same token, it’s not right to do that to ANY kid, ever. It’s morally and ethically, wrong.

      Ergo, it is also wrong to do it to any kid whose parent/s are on the left. Doesn’t matter if the left does it, it matters whether or not an individual does the right thing.

      I‘ll take issue with the child’s parents then….

      who in their right mind, except an elitist, self-focussed, entitlement embracing snobbish pair –
      would send a 13 year old girl to Mexico?????

      kinda shows you RIGHT THERE where their heads are at….

      you know, nothing they do ceases to amaze me any more.

      sorry, folks…
      she needs to go on a “break” that bad, daddy can pay – NOT the taxpayer.
      But there again, if she‘s gonna follow in Mommy’s footsteps,
      she has to get started early i guess.
      i went to Mexico! – I went to Mexico!

      Your post is exactly correct. It’s the Dem Double Standards at work. They said Anything/Did Anything they could to desparage the Bush’s children, and Palins to a filthy degree, but that’s ok, because the LapDog Media ONLY protects Progressive Democrats- Republicans are “fair game-even their children”.

      I agree that The Presidents Children should be left off-limits to the media unless there are excessive tax dollars spent. Unfortunately, the Secret Service is paid with tax money. For normal inter-continental travel, this cost is entirely justifiable; the protection of the Presidential family is a necessity. Unfortunately, when travel to another country is involved, an excessive burden is placed on the American taxpayer to support this kind of vacation with the hotels, travel pay, and transportation costs of our Secret Service. I am not saying that The Presidents children do not need or deserve a vacation, only that a vacation in another country, especially a country which has been placed on the travel warning posted by the U.S State Dept, is an excessive burden to our already over-spending government and over-taxed working class.

      It is because they do not want people to know that they have already taken 3 vacations this year, and most people will not be able to take one vacation due to high gas prices. The President has finally figured out that he cannot keep rubbing Americans noses in the fact that he is taking vacations while everyone else is suffering.

      Would it have to do with the amount of taxpayer resources being spent for this CHILD of the Emperor and his Queen to vacation. 25 secret service agents delegated to her protection there, on our dime. Can someone come up with a dollar figure on what this childs trip is costing the nation? Or would it have something to do with 10 decapitated heads being found at a slaughterhouse in Teloloapan north of Acapulco with the lack of media attention on the drug war where it will get more eyes on it since ppl will be following what this child is up on OUR DIME!!!!!??

      The daughter of the American dictator is vacationing in Oaxaca? Not surprising. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Pure hypocrisy. Seems like the state department put the warning out on purpose just to keep the area less crowded for 25 secret service agents and I’m sure the other kids were “handpicked” Spring Breakers. Nothing ever happens by accident with these people. Security is just a cover yet again. Americans should not be going into Mexico, unless you’re stupid or have 25 secret service agents. Everything is coordinated and these stories are being yanked because we live under a communist media industrial complex. This is pure Pravda. And for those who say the kids are off limits, you’re asleep at the wheel. These kids are pawns to Barry and Moochelle. They use them worse than anything the media could print about them. Like Glenn says, keep the links or get screenshots of these stories since the statist media is running and covering for their King. They do their best to erase history.

(http://globalgrind.com/news/malia-obama-enjoys-spring-break-mexico-photos) When I googled Malia Obama spends spring break in Mexico this link came up http://dailycaller.com/2012/03/19/afp-report-obama-daughter-malia-spending-spring-break-in-mexico-with-25-secret-service-agents/

      It seems obvious that the Secret Service made a request to the News organizations to remove the stories. That’s a request I support. The president’s daughter being kidnapped or worse in Mexico would be pretty awful. It does however seem pretty crazy to send her there with all the violence happening Mexico.

      Smart girl, that Malia-
      she knows she’ll be spending her next “Spring Break” in Chicago,
      so the little truffle, just had to sneak it in, this year,
      while she still has Daddy”s plane & the Secret Service men to cover her
      porky, little, teenage butt.

      Don’t be surprised to see a zillion more, secretive flights-
      they know, it’s their last year, for all the taxpayer’s freebies,

      Security my butt. If that girl gets even a hair out of place with 25 agents watching her every move then

      A. They shouldn’t have let her go there
      B. We have much bigger things to worry about with the secret service as a nation.

      Now what parents let their 13 year old go out of the country for spring break? I don’t care if they have their own private army or not. I have to wonder if this is a private trip that was made possible and subsidized by the taxpayers (security/travel expense etc) or if this is a school trip they regularly make. Once again this is a bunch of 13 year old american girls, prime targets…….

      Who cares whether or not this link is still up on any website., This is the POTUS sending his 13 year old daughter to a hostile foreign Country for a “spring break” that only older College students enjoy. What grade is she in anyways, 7th or 8th?
      How many of you people were going on “spring breaks” to foreign Countries at the age of 13? None I guess. How many to hostile foreign Countries at 13 years old? None?
      And only 25 SS men? How many Mexican Cartel thugs does it take to take out 25 SS men? Doesn’t matter since they have 100’s and 1000’s of banditos ready to “fire up” the situation with Eric Holder supplied weapons.
      I knew this President was stupid but, to send his own 13 year old daughter into a hostile foreign Country for the sole purpose of getting re-elected in 2012 is statement of sheer… Saul Alinskyism.

      Either obama doesn’t love her (which I doubt) or, the whole family are egomaniacs. The arrogance and egotism is astounding. She could be a spoiled rotten brat, but that would still require obama to “give the okay” (something he brags about being experienced at, “giving the okay”)

      When did this happen? Looking at the State Department this morning, it says:
      “Oaxaca: Oaxaca, Huatulco and Puerto Escondido are the major cities/travel destinations in Oaxaca -see map (PDF, 286 kb) to identify their exact locations: No warning is in effect.

      Puebla: No advisory is in effect.

      Queretaro: No advisory is in effect.”

      As Obama’s daughter in Oaxaca, did the advisory change since yesterday, is the State department page not up to date, or is The Blaze reporting incorrectly?

      The Left had to leave the Bush girls alone most of the time. But there biggest expenditures were a night on the town and their trips to Texas. This is so tacky. It is so “new rich” as we say in the South. This is sort of like when I get those Christmas letters that tell me all the wonderful and expensive things the family has been doing all year. This is not an example of being refined and blue blooded. Ha! The Obama’s are just following suit with this. Another Antoinette gathering. I think we’ll hear about more of these, even more frequently for the next months as they have realized their days are numbered in the White House.
      Why not keep the money in the US of A? Why not somewhere they could contribute to an ailing American Resort? What is the tally on the cost of 25 SS agents? Which jet took these 13 year old children to Mexico? When will the regular people of the democrat party recognize what is going on here. The Queen does not do this sort of thing. What will happen to Malia and her expectations in life.
      This is just another,”and take that, America. We love rubbing it in your faces” act. We’ll get those communists out of there in Nov. We’ll need to put armed guards in the White house checking boxes as they leave.Every time you get a little down, just remember they may have us in a bind, but we have Glen,Rush,Breitbart,and all the rest.

    First and foremost, I’m a mother and although I also have a teen that would adore going to vacation/study/whatever in Mexico,but with the current climate down there of ugly with the drug cartel people, my response is WHAT ARE YOU THINKING! 25 Secret Service agents is nothing against an army of criminals down there armed with automatic weapons who would love to snatch that child for their own purposes, let alone the possibility of her getting hurt.

      obviously you dont visit this site very often or you would not make racist claim. What happened to that young man is a travesty. But instead posting in an area that has nothing to do with that you should concentrate on notifying the Blaze of the issue.

      This is not necessarily a story about Obama’s children Its about them controlling all the major media is erasing the event.

There’s some things that the Obamas need to realize – being a member of the president’s family means that there are some things you gave up being able to do when the dad (or mom, if Kristi Noem ever runs) takes the oath of office. One of those things should be letting your adolescent child go to Mexico, if it requires 25 Secret Service agents in tow.

      Of course most parents don’t have secret service protection details. No sane parent would allow this trip. I wonder why the parents of these kids didn’t pressure the teacher into coming up with an alternative. If it’s Spanish class, couldn”t they have gone to Spanish Harlem, Miami, CHICAGO, or anyplace with a a heavy Spanish surnamed populace and culture in the USA? I guess since this is Oaxaca, and the cartel violence is much further North, the Obamas with their STUPENDOUS knowledge of geography, probably aren’t worried. Those poor secret service agents. They probably hate these *hitty assignments. Yet another bill we are paying for. Another unecessary expense. The Obamas are milking it for every drop they can get.

      Well, lets see, I was Stationed in Hawaii during the Reagan years, he stayed at Belows, at the VIP quarters. Low cost to tax payers and low security costs. Obama Stays at a 30,000 a week mansion, and costs $200k in security for each him and Moochelle, because they travel seperate.
      George W. stayed mostly at his own Ranch, only a security costs. While he was at “his house” he still worked.
      Reagan took very few vacations, and there again, mostly back to his “Ranch”, where it wasn’t costing the taxpayers, $30k a week plus security.

      Why hasn’t Obama taken vacations back to Chicago? To his own house? Instead he is going everywhere on our dime.
