” ...an issues-oriented interview with any newspaper, magazine or television network. “
Like THAT’S gonna be the interview she gets.
WHY should she bother?
WHY should she trust them?
If I’m running the McCain campaign I would not have her meet with any of the national media that has been bashing her from day 1. I would only have her speak with local reporters and with networks that have been fair in their coverage. If no such network exists, I would bypass them alltogether and let them sit there whining and complaining all day long.
In fact, if I’m John McCain, I would bypass them as well. The media has to be shown that they will no longer be needed in Presidential campaigns until they learn to treat both sides equally.
I think John McCain may be feeling his mortality, and he’s decided to go out with a bang, for as long as he lasts being true to his best self, the one that really is “Country First, Always.” GOOD FOR HIM, and good for us.
No. The rope-a-dope is coming. Sarah will avoid the media and there will be rumblings that she is "afraid." This criticisim will hit fever pitch until she finally relents...Probably do a sit down with Keith Olberman.
With all eyes on her, she will slaughter him. It will be a public lynching.
Yes, suggested venues for Palin's ONLY interviews (that would drive the Lamestream media mad):
- Brit Hume
- Chris Wallace
- Neil Cavuto
- Rush Limbaugh
- Glenn Beck (radio, and TV again)
- Laura Ingraham
- Sean Hannity
- a private venue of conservative bloggers (and FReepers)
The Brokaw speech was supposed to be a motivating and inspiring message for us but I can assure you it was quite the opposite. I saw many jaws drop as did mine at the Anti American country hating sentiment that came from him. Also the attacks on George Bush and Dick Cheney at this corporate event were completely baffling.
If your company paid a speaking fee to Brokaw, it should demand a refund!
Yup and the more the media whines all the better.
Yeah, we know. You will be doing a triple-swiftboat-special (to use one of your own terms).
Four things here.
1. The questions asked of Gov Palin will all be condescending, stilted, "gotchas".
2. She will do just fine
3. The "news" events will be watched by a record number of viewers.
4. In the disregard of investigative fairness, you will not ask Obama about Marxism v capitalism, the extent of his close association with terrorist Bill Ayers, or when (and what) drugs has he taken in the last 10 years, one year, one month ( e.g.,tobacco, opiates, marijuana, and or glue?) or whether, as a former user of crack cocaine (aka "blow") he would submit to pre and post election blood screenings with the results to be made public.
.
So at least they can dream about a gotcha moment......for now, anyway
Exactly, why would she pump up their ratings so they could try to drag her and McCain down? And of course the answer can always be that I am the Governor of Alaska, I must tend to the business of the people of Alasak unlike Obama and Biden and don’t have time to do my JOB, campaign and still talk to you guys, sorry.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Agreed. It killed the media last week when some of the only video on Palin was from Glenn Beck’s television show.
I think she oughta give the finger to all of the Drive-By Media and give interviews to some fair-minded new media outlets. F the press.
Damn the media straight to hell!!!!!!!!
I wish Tim Russert were still here to do the interview. With a lady he'd have been very graceful while to the point. But with an intelligent and attractive lady, he'd have a case of the stutters and be falling all over the place. ;^)
No pretense, his liking of her would have been more than obvious. I'll miss him.
I would love to “meet the press” and remind them that after 19 months of running for POTUS, we know less about Obama than we know about Sarah, her husband, her daughter, her daughter’s future husband, and the Palin friend/partner who is getting a divorce...after a week.
With all eyes on her, she will slaughter him. It will be a public lynching.
That would be beautiful! Two former sports reporters going one-on-one. One, a pundit on a third-rate cable-news network. The other, one of the most powerful women in the world (despite the fact that she's not yet Vice President).
Just that contrast alone should make olberman think twice about entering the ring in this fight.
I'd love to see her go on other shows playing the same time as Oprah and watch Oprah's ratings dip for the day.
The campaign is going to use Palin strategically when going around the media. It won't be every day.
Excellent comparison.
These presstitutes are so full of themselves.
And Oprah-types fall for it!
Yes, and we all know how well that last one turned out.
