They are sent by e-mail from the Obama headquarters in Chicago to reporters who have interviewed campaign officials under one major condition: the press office has veto power over what statements can be quoted and attributed by name.

They can only report what is filtered through the candidates or their minions. Indications are, though, that this is a self-correcting phenomena. The mainstream media of today is rapidly being overtaken by other media sources. - http://c551ad67.tinylinks.co
