The Media Shouldn't Be Following Or Covering Palin's Appearances At All If She Won't Give Access
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 10:59 AM by cryingshame
No access to open questioning by journalists means they shouldn't even be on a plane following her around.

The only mentions she should get ought to be investigative reporting done with critical mention of any comments McCain's campaign might give in response.

Don't you think?

1. I don't get it--what is she, fucking Princess Di? Why the press interest in her
Edited on Sun Sep-14-08 11:01 AM by wienerdoggie
if she's not allowed to speak to the commoners? They should ignore her instead of acting like star-struck paparazzi.

2. If I was an unbiased media who didn't get my check from major corporate
backers of Republicans, I would say "no access, no reporters"... Palin would die as a candidate. The media has nothing and is making anything they can up about her because she refuses questions. AND its obvious by the interview with Charlie, I'm more prepared to be VP than that woman.

3. Agreed
Think I'll email CNN and MSNBC and ask why. Fox is a lost cause so I won't even bother. Besides, I don't watch that "news" channel.

4. Plus, she's giving the same damn speech over and over again.
Why don't they show Biden's speeches?

7. I couldn't agree more.
They're doing nothing but furthering the McCan't/Palin charade by giving them free air time and coverage to spread their moose shit. They're enablers. To quote SNL, they need to grow a pair, and tell McCan't to let them know when Queen Sarah is ready to face the press. Until then, let her shout into the wind.

10. I agree. They should have cut her off after the "deference" comment. Fuck them.
Let McNasty/Failin pay for their own PR.

Unless Palin decides to make friends with her press entourage, she is going to be written about in some baaad ways. The traveling press always falls for the faux friend thing...
