Is Obama Playing Media Favorites?

A line slipped in near the end of Mike Allen’s Politico article about the media coverage of Barack Obama’s overseas trip, is making some waves. Per Allen: “Among those for whom there was no room was Ryan Lizza, Washington correspondent of The New Yorker. The campaign, which was furious about the magazine’s satirical cover this week, cited space constraints in turning him away.” (Hmm, sort of like the time John McCain neglected to invite the NYT to his health records viewing party.)
