White House asks the media to scrub stories on Malia's Mexico trip

The White House put the word out to remove stories on the net about Malia being on vacation with 12 friends and 25 Secret Service agents in Mexico for Spring Break. Most complied and by last night there wasn't much out there. The fact that she was not too far from the earthquake today did seem to bring the story out again. I guess we can call that divine intervention!

Your tax dollars are hard at work footing the bill for the President's daughter, 12 of her friends and 25 Secret Service agents in Mexico so a 13 year old can go on a foreign vacation for Spring Break.

On Monday, the AFP reported that Obama's daughter was on a school trip along with a number of friends and 25 Secret Service agents. The story was picked up by Yahoo, the Huffington Post, and the International Business Times, as well as UK publications like the Daily Mail and the Telegraph and other overseas publications like The Australian.

But on Monday night, the story had been removed from those sites .The AFP page for the story now links to a story titled "Senegal music star Youssou Ndour hits campaign trail," as does the Yahoo page. The Huffington Post page now links directly back to the Huffington Post homepage. The Daily Mail, Telegraph, and Australian stories now lead to 404 error pages, reading "page not found." The International Business Times story also links to the IBT homepage, though a version of the original story still exists online.
