CBS’s Chen: Leave Caroline Kennedy Alone, Criticism ‘Unfair’

On Thursday’s CBS Early Show, co-host Julie Chen came to the defense of would-be New York Senator Caroline Kennedy, who has faced criticism for her lack of experience: "This is so unfair. I mean, look, the system is set up the way it's set up and Governor Paterson decides and that's it. Leave her alone, everyone." That comment followed a report by correspondent Meg Oliver, in which Kennedy avoided tough questions from the press: "She quickly got a taste of the pressure that comes with seeking a high-profile political office...questions mostly went unanswered."

Chen was not so quick to defend Sarah Palin from critics during the campaign.

Her name is NOT Caroline Kennedy and certainly not “Mrs. Kennedy” as they are calling her.

This is no surprise, since Chen, Couric, and the rest are all fellow inhabitants of the insular little parallel universe known as New York City. They can't understand why anyone could possibly be offended by the term "upstate."

Someone needs to tell Mrs. Moonves, host of that disgraceful show “Big Brother,” that Gov. Paterson didn’t pull the Princess’s name out of a hat. She ASKED for the appointment. You might take a look at your own network’s treatment of Sarah Palin, who did NOT ask for the Vice Presidential nomination, but who had at least had elected experience and executive experience chops, and who was treated like crap by Katie Couric.

What’s offensive about “upstate”?

We always used that term for anyone above Westchester County.

All of a sudden Caroline is Britnney and Chen is sobbing under a blanket in front of a webcam?

I honestly believe that the city of NY and most of the north east actually live in their own bubble.

Must be nice to live in a place like scarsdale westchester county and work in Manhattan . Then tell everyone else how they should live in diverse areas

But But, Sarah is a Republican and deserved such treatment, meanwhile Princess Caroline is a Kennedy, and a Democrat, therefore highly experienced
