Hard to believe, but Meredith Vieira is apparently not a regular NewsBusters reader. The Today co-anchor would otherwise have avoided an embarrassing lapse. On Today this morning, Vieira claimed that it was only "blogs" that went after Sarah Palin's family matters. That left her vulnerable to McCain senior adviser Steve Schmidt's zinger, pointing out that one of her own network's anchors had questioned Palin's ability to serve as vice-president while attending to her children' needs.
Schmidt was presumably referring to Brian Williams. As we noted yesterday in Williams Hides Behind Pantsuits to Take 'Who's Minding Baby?' Shot, the Nightly News anchor, on MSNBC yesterday, asked former Mass. governor Jane Swift:
Are the women who consider themselves feminists, and are perhaps working women with several children, are they wrong when they express fears or doubts that she should be able to do this, that she should be doing this?

Vieira denies MSM went after Palin family ping to Today show list.
Am I the only one who sees Viera as nothin’ but fluff? Talk about a role that diminishes women.
Viera should check with her Magic Eightball.
Hmmmm ... who should we believe, Meredith? You, or our lying eyes?
GE stock has tanked
CBS and Fox have winning shows for me.
Numbers, NCIS and American Idol. NBC doesn't even have College Football.
Amy Rohrbach comes to mind...
What about Alan Colmes? The same person can trash someone on their blog as long as they tone it down slightly when they’re on the air?
Fluff? Fluff?
Why this woman is host of “Who wants to be a Millionaire?”
She’s in a class with Regis.
No fluff there.
Newsbusters should do a montage: All smiles for Obama/Biden and scowls of indignation for anything MeCain/Paling.
OK. So because she hosts that show, she’s a brainiac?
With this election, we’ve pretty much had to roll with the punches. When the media (all the media!) went after a 17 yr. old girl and a Down Syndrome infant, that was it. Now, the gloves come off! There is no impartiality in the MSM, there is no “fair and balanced” coverage of one half of this race. Merry is a “The View” alum, why would you be surprised that she could be so low and clueless?
Sarcasm, chief, sarcasm.
Hmm, I guess she must not have a newsstand in her town.
Wow. Shows me I’m taking things a little too seriously this morning. Please pass the coffee. :)
Andrea Mitchell’s got them all beat. That woman is in permanent funereal mode. It’s actually kind of creepy to watch her, she just appears “overmedicated.”
Lib women sure get catty, don’t they?
Their calls for feminism were a lie.
When push came to shove, they defended a serial rapist who sexually harassed women in the workplace all because he was “for” abortion. Adulterers generally LIKE to cover their tracks so it comes as no big surprise.
see there is a difference
Old Style Journalist states crazy gossip about conservative candidate.
Crazy left wing blogger states identical crazy gossip about conservative candidate.
An obvious difference....One has to pay for NYC taxis the other has to pay for san francisco trolly cars. see different.
