Obama is setting the terms for his meetings with leaders of the Axis-of-Obsolescence:

Details of the talks between the anchors and the campaign, first reported on the Web site of The Washington Post on Wednesday, had not been finalized as of the afternoon. And some networks were chafing at what the executives at all three described as an uncompromising approach to when and where Mr. Obama would grant the anchor interviews, which are to take place outside the war zone. But few doubted that ultimately, most, if not all, of the anchors would accept the terms.

Also of note, the big three networks did not give this same level of coverage for any of John McCain’s overseas trips, but, then again, John McCain going to a war zone is old news.
