Sarah Palin is Being Hidden From The Press

Quote from ZZZzzzzzzz:

Palin, meanwhile, left the church in 2002,

As the article notes, Palin left the church 6 years ago. Perhaps though we should take a look at this:

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

She'll be debating Biden. That'll give you ample opportunity to judge her on issues.

Who the fuck is the media to “demand” anything. You act like the media is some public watchdog. They're a FOR PROFIT institution owned by entertainment conglomerates. Only a rube thinks the motives of Katie Couric or Bill O'Reilly are materially different from Jerry Springer. They work for network ratings and their own paychecks.

How much about Obama does the public know? Have you seen his transcripts from Occidental? How did a lackluster student at Occidental receive admittance to Columbia? How was his education financed? Does he share Rev. Wright's views on Black Theology? If not then why did he not only stay in Wright's church for two decades but equate Wright as a surrogate father and use a Wright quote as the title of his best selling book? Why doesn't the Obama familiy celebrate Christmas? Has he ever socialized with Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn?

I'm not trying to use Obama as a strawman in the Palin debate but truth be told most of America knows more about Sarah Palin's life-after just a month on the ticket-than we know about Obama who has been running for President virtually one half of his career in the Senate.

Compare Palin scrutiny to Joe Biden. He voted for Iraq, he voted for the bankruptcy bill lobbied for by his son, his son is a wealthy lobbyist for banks who've generously supported both Biden and Obama. Yet more Americans know of Bristol Palin than Hunter Biden.

The fact is and this gets back to my first point: The media is NOT interested in Sarah Palin's take on the issues. They're interested in her because she's a RATINGS lure. Put Joe Biden on television and it's a snooze fest watched by the same 18 people who regularly watch MSNBC. Put Palin on and it's the biggest viewership of the year. I respect Palin for not whoring herself out in deferance to the media. The same way I respected musicians in the 1970's who'd refuse interviews with Rolling Stone because they felt uncomfortable schilling their art. Being pompous cats in the spotlight is part and parcel of our moral and ethical decline.

This is the definitive statement on this subject. Nothing more needs to be said.

"Connecticut Democrats are considering whether to ask Sen. Joe Lieberman to leave the party..."

Word on the street is that the Dems are willing to throw in 5 bucks and a 'player to be named later' to get rid of Lieberman.

If Sarah and Elisabeth Hasselbeck were allowed to pummel the shit out of that black Jew broad on the View, America would erupt in applause.

Exactly.... but we all know the producers would not allow that to happen!
Amazing,only one conservative on the show and it's called THE VIEW(ironic)
Should be called ONE-SIDED VIEW!

A pretend moderator, perfect display of a republican...pretending to be something he is not.

Remember, Democrats say to be a patriot you only need to pay more mandated taxes.

Exactly!

I agree Pabst,

Palin does not need to address the media, she is NY for a purpose and thats it.

Not to put on a show for ratings or curious minds for that matter.
Freedom of speech is part of the constitution, but the press is way out of control and think that they are owed something.

They can all go fuckoff, because they will only twist it to what they want anyway(i.e. omitting statements, and cutting interviews where they want their views swayed to).

You mean religion is not part of this thread? LOL.

How about the American people?

Are they owed a chance to see Palin handle tough questions from reporters?

Or is that too difficult for her to do?

If a candidate is afraid to face the press, how could they possibly be ready to be president?
