Schieffer: McCain Campaign 'Demeaning to Women' Because No Palin Press Conferences

Is Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain’s campaign strategy “demeaning to women?” Yes, according to CBS’s Bob Schieffer, because the McCain camp is selective about when and where GOP vice-presidential nominee Sarah Palin makes media appearances

Schieffer, the host of CBS’s Sunday morning public affairs program, “Face the Nation,” appeared at Politics & Prose, a bookstore in Washington, D.C. on September 15 to promote his newest book, “Bob Schieffer’s America.”

Schieffer, who is scheduled to moderate the last presidential debate between Obama and McCain, on October 15th, called it the McCain campaign’s “obligation” to make Alaska Gov. Palin available to the press. He criticized the McCain campaign for not breaking her onto the media scene as rapidly as some might like. Schieffer suggested Palin’s gender may even be playing a role in the campaign’s strategy.

Bob's still PO'ed about Katie getting a hundred million to do a crummier job than he did.

Bitter much, Bob?

What Bob refuses to acknowledge is that the majority of journalists can no longer be referred to as ‘The Press’. They will continue to be referred as ‘The Democrat/Liberal/DNC Press’. Gov Palin should never agree to do another interview with a partisan Democrat journalist like Charlie Gibson.

They continue to act like it's a interview, when in reality it's a one sided gotcha debate.

This type of scenario is worse than a straight debate. Because they are lying about their intent throughout the interview, Gov Palin isn't able to address their bias and false premises. They are running out of Democrat journalists who they think can influence viewers as unbiased. No reason to give Bob Liberal Schieffer another biased opportunity similar to the recent inquisition by Charlie Liberal Gibson. Just say no to the biased Liberal Press.

Bob LIBERAL Schieffer

Is Biden doing press conferences? Maybe he is, and nobody’s paying attention.

They aren't even covering Obiden -- Rush said yesterday that the media section in Obiden's campaign plane is empty -- the LameStream Medjia aren't even traveling with him or covering him.

I would like to see Sarah do a press conference with a giant tv screen behind her. When a reporter stands to ask a question, the screen will show all of the softball questions this reporter asked 0bama, and/or if they interviewed Biden at all.

Sounds like the MSM are trying hard to get Palin “out there” so they can take a swipe at her to lift up their guy Obama. I like the strategy used. She will be on Sean Hannity this week and this has got to ire the Dems...I love it!

...McCain campaign’s “obligation” to make Alaska Gov. Palin available to the press.

Yeah, and while we're at it, it is the "obligation" of our troops to expose themselves to enemy fire...same difference!

and is the obama campaign demeaning to all hair transplant recipients because plugs isn’t holding any press conferences-not that anyone would attend.

You posted, "Is Biden doing press conferences? Maybe he is, and nobody’s paying attention."

Yeah, if he did, I missed it too.

Memo to Schieffer: Please list all press conferences held by Obama/Biden ticket in past three weeks. Do not include stump appearances.

Isn’t it wonderful that people like Schieffer have the uncanny ability to speak for other people—or care more for other people’s children than do the parents? I think Bob should be wearing one of those swami hats. Apparently he’s earned that badge of office.
