Palin's press avoidance shocks Shriver
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | Carla Marinucci,

Posted on 10/15/2008 12:11:08 PM PDT by Ugot2Bkidding

California first lady Maria Shriver - whose father, Sargent Shriver, ran for both president and vice president - said she finds it "unbelievable, jaw-dropping" that Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin so far has managed to sidestep news conferences and Sunday TV talk shows.Shriver, a prominent veteran broadcast journalist and bestselling author who is married to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, is preparing to interview and talk with dozens of international newsmakers, politicians and celebrities at her popular Women's Conference on Oct. 21 and 22 at the Long Beach Convention Center.

She quizzed Cindy McCain and Michelle Obama last year at the annual event. But she said Palin, running mate of Republican presidential candidate John McCain, will not be present to address the conference audience, estimated to reach 15,000 women in the convention center and as many as 1 million women who will watch it on the Internet.

"Actually, we did play around with that," Shriver told The Chronicle in a phone interview Tuesday. But "if one wants to do that, the real issue was that you'd have to do it (an interview) in a no-holds-barred way.

"So let's just say she's not coming," Shriver said.

And when McCain/Palin are in office, the MSM should continue to be shut out.

Palin should have been doing 10 interviews a day, all live. She should have gone on Rush’s show immediately after the convention. The McCain campaign completely mishandled her for the first few weeks after the convention. They allowed their enemies to define her instead of allowing her to define herself. Shocking incompetence on the campaign’s part.

Dear Maria,

Vice President Sarah Palin will have plenty of time for interviews after Jan 20, 2009. Just make an appointment with the White House. They'll be glad to assist you.

Regards,

Yeah, it's easy to avoid 'journalists' that only want to ask 'gotcha' questions and make Palin look bad.

Why should Sarah waste her time on drecks like that?

No reason for Gov Palin or ANY Republican to prostrate themselves before a Democrat, (ie press), who want them dead.

It just gives these faux journalists more credibility.

“and celebrities at her popular Women’s Conference on Oct. 21 and 22 at the Long Beach Convention Center.”

Her popular Women’s Conference...”her” popular conference with celebrities (the fake and the phony).

I wouldn’t go either...”F’em.”

There is this little thing called a campaign that John and Sarah are trying to win — but Maria, you are right, your event is far more important and significant in the grand scheme of things than anything that Governor Palin is doing.

Tell you what; Maria, have I got a deal for you — you get obie to sit down for an interview with Sean Hannity and I bet Governor Palin will show up and your silly little social club...deal.

Typical MSM questions:

1. Governor Palin, would you consider your cannibalism a hobby or an obsession?

2. Was it Dick Cheney or Karl Rove who ordered you to keep your baby?

3. You daughter Piper was paying more attention to spitting on her little brother than your convention speech. Are you abusing her by cutting down her Ritalin dosage?

4. You are evil personified and I hate you and all that you stand for.

(remember, this is my interpretation of the MSM, not my feelings. Please put down your moose hunting rifles.)
