CNN has also joined "the tank"

The McCain campaign set up this whole "See? Sarah Palin has met with foreign leaders!" photo-op, where Palin will continue her foreign policy education (I guess she must have missed some of those classes in the 4 colleges she attended...). Except really, that's all the McCain camp was allowing--a photo-op, as they refused entrance to print journalists. Only photographers and one TV crew were allowed to witness the meetings, because, as you know the American people need to learn to behave and and be respectful, even though they are not giving us the respect of allowing us to ask her questions until after she is elected. I guess if she can't talk to Oprah until then, she can't talk to anyone.

Anyway, so then CNN finally does what all of the media has wanted to do for 4 weeks now. They gave the McCain camp the broadcast-news middle finger and said, forget it, we're leaving. Now the McCain camp has little if any coverage of Palin and her new friends.

Aw, boo fucking hoo.

Update: Ah. So the McCain camp gave in a little and wound up letting ONE reporter in. Let Wonkette tell you about it.
