McCain Supporter to Press: “Shame on You” (Rips Reporters at Scranton Town Hall)
Fox News ^ | Monday, September 22, 2008 | Mosheh Oinounou

While most McCain town hall attendees traditionally direct their questions or commentary towards the GOP nominee during the campaign events as the press take notes, one audience member decided to take her message directly to the media today.

After praising his choice of Sarah Palin as a runningmate, one female audience member turned around towards the press seated in the back of the room and went on a diatribe about what she feels is biased coverage.

“I also want to take the opportunity to ask the media, where is your 30 investigators over in Chicago looking at (Tony Rezko and William Ayers)?,” she said to cheers. “We want the media to start doing their job and stop pickin’ on little children because of their age and their pregnancies. Shame on you! Shame on all of ya’s!”

McCain smiled as the women delivered the rebuke to the press corps, adding “That is a great question!”

More need to speak oout and some need to be bold enough to go to Obama speeches. They send their troops out to McCain Rallys.

We have had enough!!!! Women need to speak out!!

While it is nice to see this on Fox News blog, I would much rather see them actually take what this lady says to heart and start doing their jobs.

Who is she? We should all sent her a letter of congratulations along with a dinner out card, you can buy them for many different restaurants at Walmart. One little citizen who has the guts to call out the all powerful media, I'm so proud there are women like her!
