Please let us all know how one gets an interview with a person who is categorically not granting interviews.

John Miller can get an interview with Osama bin Laden in 1998.

Dan Rather can interview Saddam Hussein in 2003.

But NO ONE can interview the ultra-elusive Bill Ayers. I see.

Those guys wanted to be interviewed.

Again, please tell me how you interview someone who will not allow themselves to be interviewed.

I see reporters put their cameras and microphones in people's faces all the time and not all those people WANT to be interviewed. They could always do that and the guy could just say "no comment" or whatever, but the press doesn't even seem REMOTELY INTERESTED.

Speak to me

[Anti.Hero]

Why do you support cop killers?

Fox doesn't seem remotely interested either. Why is that?

Bloggers can hold microphones too. Why don't they?

[ChumpDumper]

Why do you support cop killers?

Who is supporting him?

[Anti.Hero]

My main man Bill Ayers up top.

Now what are you going to about?

[ChumpDumper]

My main man Bill Ayers up top.

Oh, he's not a terribly good troll.

Touch my privacy

See what I mean?

The media isn't biased, they are incompetent

+1 million. Truer words were never spoken.

Darrin, as someone with a background in journalism myself I feel your pain, but the conclusions you've drawn are simply not in keeping with what I've witnessed.

I think that most reputable reporters leak a little bias now and then, being as we are human it is inevitable. The reason this laziness has been allowed to fester is simply because there is no accountability when they do.

One of the really sinister elements of the Fox News revolution is that it not only makes a mockery of its own side of the fence, but it also creates a permissiveness on the liberal side. If you scream that everything is biased when clearly it isn't, then your screaming has no effect, even when it's correct. So you get a boy who cried wolf atmosphere without any checks and balances.

There are so many things to blame. The corruption of the FCC, the corporate greed that has undermined the integrity of nearly all our major news organizations, the superficiality of promoting hairdos above seasoned reporting, the emergence of the 24 hour news cycle, and an indifferent populace are all among major elements.

I'm seriously starting to fear that journalistic integrity is an ideal of a bygone age and I have no idea how to go about combating that deplorable situation.

About ing time. See, that wasn't so hard. At least PRETEND like you're interested in interviewing the man. Geez.

"But Bill Ayers is staying mum, and working hard to duck reporters and the campaign spotlight in the final week before the election."

That would seem to indicate others have been trying to get to him for some time. But I suppose to satisfy your requirements there should be multiple images of Ayers lifting his briefcase to cover his face as he runs from driveway to door?

[ChumpDumper]

Some freelancer tried a few days ago and it showed up on Billo's show too.

Same results.

Dude isn't giving interviews.

Well, that was the first time I've seen anyone event ATTEMPT to approach him with questions, so I guess ABC has earned a sliver of credibility.

Most of the time folks just call and ask.

Guess what?

He refused.

You think the media should report on its failure to get someone to agree to be interviewed?

"And now, before we sign off, ladies and gentlemen, here is the list of people we attempted to interview but could not."

Be serious.

[ChumpDumper]

Here's another.

That's three in the past couple of weeks.

I'm sensing a trend here.

[boutons_]

The media certainly want to talk about 40 years ago, convict him in the media, not what he's been doing in the last couple decades.

Would anybody here, exception the attention s, be any different? I wouldn't.

Hence why bloggers are doing that job...
