Good post but what the MSM should have done is 'go home' and leave Palin sit there without their cameras.

My God, she's supposed to be ready to assume the presidency and she can't take questions?

She isn't elected yet and even if she were, the media shouldn't allow the politicians to set the media rules. Either that or the rest of the MSM all should just merge with Fox News and be done with it.

I agree. There should be a recorded video of every word she says. For review - in case of a gaffe. But that's it.

The lady has not "earned" her current position, not by anything she did in the past, and certainly not by her contemptuous behavior toward voters since her strange elevation to role she is unfit for.

Hi Everybody!!! :D

I don't know what a Vice President does, but I'm gonna do what the Vice President because God told me so. Okay, see you soon, now.

xoxoxo,
Sarah (2009-2010ish)!

Why is it that the Media spent so much time this evening patting itself on the back for doing nothing as it did covering the bailout plan?

Keith, Rachel Maddow, CNN and the like all spent a great amount of time talking about the "Media Boycott?" Then at the same time sarcastically airing the 29 seconds of Palin and Karzai, and 20 seconds of Palin and Kissenger etc. Oh and don't forget the 15 minute press conference including his statement?

The media got nothing from their tantrum but a sour lollipop and John McCain got exactly what he wanted, more time off the political game clock. He can now say that he did a press conference, and that the media got to cover Palin ("they relented") and they can continue to say screw the media.

We still don't know a thing about our potential vps' views on a single issue, and McCain talks about only what he wants to. Who remembers Dean Smiths' UNC strategy of Four Corners? They're stalling all of us.

If the MSM covers Obama only for two days straight, I bet we'll see how fast the interviews come then.

As I write this CNN's reporting that "to be fair both sides are keeping the press out."

I need a flatscreen brick for my flatscreen tv.

The only question that remains is how can we convince the MSM to take such a stance.

Here is one. Gotta love CNN's Campbell Brown.

The fastest way to get McCain's attention is to ignore him, his campaign, and Palin. That will get his temper running at full throttle and will be like watching a fourth of July fireworks display.

McCain needs to relent and give in to interviews with himself and an unchaperoned Palin.

McCain needs to be hammered with the many truths that have sprung up nurtured by the false and misleading statements he and his campaign staff have been making for the last few months. No more free media rides for the POW Express!

As for Ms. Palin, the MSM needs to hammer the truth out of her about Troopergate and the many other tidbits of her dictatorship as mayor in Wasilla and as governor of Alaska.

After eight years of Bu$h and repugs running the country, the public needs to know what type of sadomasochistic tyrant they may be facing if the repugs win the election.

Combine the media strategy with the economic meltdown and McCain's behavior the last week and McPalin are headed into oblivion.

ABC/WaPo - Obama up 52-43, 2 weeks ago he was down 2...the end is near for McSame

You know its bad when even FAUX NEWS is calling out Sarah Palin. Sheppard Smith might have just done a better job than the Obama supporter of rebutting McCains surrogate on why Sarah Palin should be in front of the press. She tried to use the talking point that Barack Obama gets an email from his 300 advisors telling him what to say every day and Sheppard Smith was like "Well can't Mccain's people email Sarah Palin the same way beyatch?" Ok the beyatch was mine but you get the point. lol Enjoy

The MSM is totally "in the tank" for Obama-
Why SHOULD Governor Sarah Palin submit to questions on THEIR terms?

The "Anointed One" hasn't had a press conference in over a year.
Additionally- when questioned by Charlie Gibson- he fielded softball questions like "how did you meet Michelle?"
No Bush Doctrine questions for Barry.
And- Sarah Palin was NOT blank on the Bush Doctrine question- Charlie Gibson was. SHE understood that there are at least FOUR parts to the Bush Doctrine- and she wanted to clarification from him- about which part he was aking about.

On "The View"- the rabid left-wing Harpies jumped all over McCain- calling him a liar.
Yest- when Barry was there- they fawned all over him, asked him the hard questions like "Is it true you are related to Brad Pitt? And make comments like "We think you are sexy."

Abominal.
Lost all respect for any background as a journalist Barbara "Wa-Wa"- might have had.

So no- Governor Palin will not be ordered around by the media. She made that quite clear from the first time she appeared on the stage in Minneapolis.
She is not running with John McCain to be a media darling. She has a job to do.
And she knows that the drive-by left wing liberal media will throw her under the bus.

She is not running for President- Barack Barry Soetoro Hussein Obama is- and he's the one who can't answer a question without a tele-prompter. Can't wait till the debate Friday!
