Crime and punishment

From the Drudge Report we learn that certain newspapers can be punished for their bad behavior:

NY POST, DALLAS MORNING NEWS, WASHINGTON TIMES TOLD TO GET OUT… ALL 3 ENDORSED MCCAIN…The Obama campaign has decided to heave out three newspapers from its plane for the final days of its blitz across battleground states — and all three endorsed Sen. John McCain for president! The NY POST, WASHINGTON TIMES and DALLAS MORNING NEWS have all been told to move out by Sunday…

However, even making contributions to the campaign of Senator Obama sometimes doesn’t help. Consider the case of Barack Obama’s Aunt Zeituni Onyango, who made such a contribution, even if it isn’t entirely clear that she is a US citizen. She still found herself living “in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston.”

(By the way, the Boston Globe finally caught up with Ms. Onyango, after the Times of London found her first. She did not want to comment on her relationship to Senator Obama: “‘We’ll talk after the election,’ she said. ‘Come talk to me after the fifth’.” The Globe has apparently obliged. The three newspapers kicked off Obama’s plane ought to learn from the Globe that it’s time to get with the program.)
