The best-funded political campaign in American history says news organizations will have to pay–in some cases almost $2,000 each–if they want to cover Barack Obama’s election-night celebration in Chicago.

As Ed writes, “Don’t expect too much sympathy from us for the Tanning Bed Media. The only reason why Obama’s in a position to demand tithes from the worshiping media is because journalists and editors didn’t do their jobs in the first place.”
