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.

Oh yeh. My wife feels totally degraded because Sarah doesn’t let the press flagellate her every day.
I cannot believe this guy will “moderate” a POTUS debate. Sheesh. First Brokaw, and now this.
We care what Bob Scheiffer says......WHY? LOL :)
Is Biden doing press conferences? Maybe he is, and nobody’s paying attention.
Why do these old commies always mediate the debates? Shieffer always looks like he just swallowed some castor oil.
He’s a very old hen and he should know.
I thought this campaign was for the Chief Executive’s office. I must be mistaken as to whom on the Republican ticket is running for that position.
DANG! I’ll have to pay more attention to the gospel from the MSM.
More like this fossil invented the stuff.
Giving her “exclusive cable interview” to Hannity must really frost their nose.
If she goes on Rush next, their heads might explode.
Hee Hee Hee
Media is dumb.....and getting dumber.
CBS’s Bob Schieffer is another in the LONG list of pro-liberal “reporters” who can’t help themselves and jump into the fray to attack McCain/Palin while offering unending praise for Obambi.
Bob, you’re an affront to senior citizens.
Next week it will be "why doesn't she do the Spanish Inqusition"
Bob, you’re an affront to senior citizens.”
Bob must be getting more senior by the moment.
I remember her speech on Wed at the convention. I think she said she was NOT running to please the media and the press corps. Then there was a glimpse of Bob in the media booth. He just doesn’t get it.
Palin knows who she is speaking to.
Even if I cannot be there, I can get lots of good coverage on the internet, and especially Free Republic.
One of the signs at Palin’s rally in Carson City:
Sarah: “PLEASE PUT PELOSI AND REID ON E-BAY”.
I would ask that she do the same for Bob. Maybe someone will bid for him and give him a nice home.
Excuse me but Palin hasn’t been running for president for years like the others candidates on the ticket. These Media Bozos aren’t giving her a chance. She only been in the spotlight for 3 weeks, Biden’s been running for president for 20 years.
Because the Repubs won't demand non press moderators. The debates are a setup and will try to make fools of McCain/Palin with all gotcha questions.
Soon after that it will be "why can't she be warm and cuddly like Dick Cheney?"
So far, Sarah Palin truly wins either way, either with press conferences or without press conferences, because the MSM truly ends up treating Sarah Palin the same exact negative way with either format. The MSM has truly been “mean-spirited” to Sarah Palin from day one, and the MSM truly continues to get even worse everyday because of this ongoing behavior. The voters truly with commonsense are seeing right through the political bias of the MSM, but it’s the truly stupid voters throughout the U.S. that have me most concerned about the final results on all of the political races at every level on November 4!
When are these people going to shut up? The news media is either highly biased or inane.
