Palin Afraid to be in Same Room with Reporters

Newsweek ^ | September 23, 2008 | Andrew Romano

[Ann Archy]

She’s not afraid of these VIPERS.....she doesn’t want to hurt MCCain.

[Jeff Head]

I NEITHER NEED OR WANT YOUR PRESENCE...I AM CERTAINLY NOT AFRAID OF IT.

[AuntB]

Palin, “...and to all those pundits....I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion.....”

I hate the media.

[Jeff Head]

I NIETHER NEED OR WANT YOUR PRESENCE...I AM CERTAINLY NOT AFRAID OF IT.

[EGPWS]

As we speak, she's over at the United Nations General Assembly shindig meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in an attempt to establish international insta-cred.

I told him no.

ROTFLMAO!

The MSM needs to up the dose of required Valium to staff for survival.

Sarah Palin is doing fine without medication. : )

[rlferny]

That reminds me, Katie Couric is supposed to have her on CBS in a week. I can’t wait to see what the PERKY one does.

If it’s a hit piece there will be outrage.

[tioga]

I was not implying she should or shouldn't meet them, just that she is NOT afraid to.

[tomnbeverly]

Sarah Connor and Sarah Palin have a lot in common.... True Grit.

[EBH]

Remember she said she wasn’t going to Washington for the media...she will speak with the media when she is darn good ready too. And it will be on her terms, not theirs.

[CedarDave]

Why all this focus on Palin? When has Obama subjected himself to a lively press conference without a teleprompter?

Today, supposedly.

Obama Press Conference Live Thread

[Political Junkie Too]

I wonder if this is why O'Reilly had Newsweek editor Jon Meacham on his show last night to explain why he has an 8:3 ratio of liberal to conservative columnists.

Meacham didn't see a problem with it.

[Psycho_Bunny]

Aw, F%#$ you, Andy.

[maggief]

Any tally on 0bama’s closed-door meetings? And, he has the MSM in his back pocket.

[SatinDoll]

The man who heads up Newsweek was on The Factor recently, being grilled by BOR for being so biased in favor of Liberals.

This man insisted that they were just “presenting” all views, and that the Liberal viewpoint (on the internet) was far more extensive than that of Conservatives.

Bill O’Reilly didn’t buy it and neither do I.
(Incidentally, The Factor is not something I usually watch. I was cooking dinner and nothing else was interesting. Usually I play a Mozart CD but one of the kids had swiped my boom box!)

[A_Former_Democrat]

Newsweek et al afraid to say anything negative about homosexuals, minorities, Muslims.

[Above My Pay Grade]

“MSM reporters are so biased and unstable that they ought to be considered security risks by the Secret Service.”

An excellent point! Wasn’t the head of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan assassinated by Taliban terrorists disguised as journalists. It would not surprise me if one of the Obamabot psychopaths in the MSM tried to attack Governor Palin.

[JavaJumpy]

“If she were to face the press and kick their butts- this race is over”

Yes, but you don’t want to do that too soon. Let the Rats continue to make fools of themselves for now.

[dforest]

Maybe it ain’t fear. Maybe she knows you all are irrelevant. Nothing she could say to you would be taken correctly.

Why speak to well known Obama toadies, which you are.

[spodefly]

...the campaign would benefit from free pictures of Palin huddling with world leaders without exposing her to the possibility of having to hear--not even answer, but hear--a question from a real journalist.

Real journalist?!? Show me one .. ONE (!!) "real journalist" in all the mass of arrogant, Obama-shills posing as journalists.

Palin avoiding the rabid packs of feral hyenas posing as "journalists" actually makes me like her more than if she bothered to enable their delusions of "journalism".

[tioga]

is she giving the evil eye to a reporter? LOL
