Charles Gibson (cont)

I tend to agree with Jason that Charles Gibson may have gotten shut out of the debates because of the perception that Gibson and George Stephanopolis ganged up on Obama during the democratic debate. It's been cited elsewhere that at times Obama's campaign has had an antagonistic relationship with the media which has led to the perception the campaign itself is arrogant. Who knows, just as their suddenly wasn't enough room on the plane for a journalist from the New Yorker after the magazine published a controversial cover in July, maybe the Obama campaign said they wouldn't participate in another debate moderated by Gibson.
