Floor Fight Cover Up: How Politico Buried and Disappeared a Scoop Damaging To Obama…
If you had the biggest scoop of the night that would break open the biggest story of the night, would you bury it? Well, Politico did …
Obama had seen the language prior to the convention, a campaign source said, but did not seek to change it until after Republicans jumped on the omissions of God and Jerusalem late Wednesday. And even then, it had to be forced through a convention hall full of delegates who nearly shouted down the change.
Yes, you read that correctly. Politico was told by a source that all the spin coming from the White House and the Obama campaign wasn’t true — that, in fact, Obama had seen the new language long before the media uproar and did not seek to change it.
Not only is this news a big deal and the kind of story that should launch a thousand more inquiries, but it makes sense. Just from a logical point of view, it makes total sense that Obama would thoroughly read his own party’s platform after it was passed or at the very least be given a memo that highlighted any changes.
