Gabriel Sherman’s article "End of the Affair" in The New Republic recounts a lot of gripes reporters have with the arrogance and secrecy of the Obama campaign. Most of it is the usual dull whining, but this is interesting:
"Reporters who have covered Obama’s biography or his problems with certain voter blocs have been challenged the most aggressively. "They're terrified of people poking around Obama’s life," one reporter says. "The whole Obama narrative is built around this narrative that Obama and David Axelrod built, and, like all stories, it’s not entirely true. So they have to be protective of the crown jewels." Another reporter notes that, during the last year, Obama’s old friends and Harvard classmates were requested not to talk to the press without permission."
Better late than never, I suppose …
By the way, can you imagine being asked not to talk to the press about some guy you went to school with without his permission?
