By the way, have any of the networks claim to have been turned down for an interview with Palin? Maybe I missed it earlier in this thread but, I don't recall any of the networks saying they were trying to get Palin on and couldn't.

Yes- they specifically said (I think it was CNN) that they invited both Palin and Biden and Palin declined.

Maybe they're not asking...

I saw her doing a sit down on some trash show my wife watches at 6:30...Entertainment Tonight, I think

Brian Williams, after tonight's debate, said NBC extended an invitation to Palin for an interview and she declined. They interviewed Biden and Giuliani.

[sook]

That interview was heavily edited.

they haven't released some of the other stuff that would her look even more pathetic, thank CBS for that.

[DarkReign]

I wouldn't go on CNN. We all have standards.

Are the networks making a deal about this? If not, why not?

FOX would have her on faster than the Pope prays.

That's the funniest, most ridiculous ing thing he's posted in a long time -- and that's saying something.

[T Park]

There's going to be a lot of that in politics, T Park. There are Democrats who would criticize and mock the Republican VP no matter who he/she is just as there are Republicans who would defend a pile of dirty socks that was nominated on their ticket.

I think the assault on Palin's personal life early on rallied Republicans to support her. But if you look past all of the muck on both sides what you find is a candidate for Vice President of the United States who is clearly in way over her head, so much so that her party is keeping her hidden like Madonna's baby.

Because IMO, everytime she does an interview or says something its spun or played into something bad.

I'm sick of turning on the TV and seeing the Olberman's of the world dominating the freaking media and being so blatantly on one side of the aisle.

[ploto]

EVERY network that interviewed Biden mentioned that they invited them both and Palin declined.

Every news station is biased, but to the extent that fox news is makes you want to vomit. They have the biggest hypocritical bas on television, one that has surpassed Bill O reilly in hate, Sean Hannity.

Thats why I am interested in his rationale behind such a claim. It borders on severely delusional.

[Spurminator]

Yonivore is smart enough to know that every network would kill to have Palin on because the ratings would be through the roof. But he's intellectually dishonest enough to suggest that they're avoiding her.

Big surprise.

Who would ever expect anything but partisan bull out of you?

[whottt]

Spelling smack...cmooon...

It's petty of me, but I can't take a blog seriously when it says something like "There are claims that Zogby, a polling giant in America, is bias in gathering research data."

So you're bias against bad typers?

I say he's careless. If he doesn't care enough to proof his work, I don't care enough to read it.

[T Park]

Every reporter wants to trip up every politician. It's great for ratings. Obama, Biden, and McCain don't go running for the hills when the media calls.

They're smoother and better made for it.

They're better made to be BS artists.

McCain and Biden cause they've been in Washington for so freaking long, and Obama just cause hes got a natural built in bull omiter

So quit watching that . There are plenty of news options besides MSNBC and Fox News.

[ElNono]

Then why doesnt Palin appear on Fox?

We all know its a common ground for her, she'd never be as comfortable anywhere else...

I mean, lets get real here, she has fallen off the ing map since she accepted the VP nomination!

The
.

Exactly what I was going to write. If you suspect smearing, go to Fox. They would actually ask you the easy questions, and edit the interview to make you look good.
And don't tell me a guy like Hannity wouldn't love to have an entire show with her as a guest.

[T Park]

Yeah and MSNBC is very down the middle.

[ChumpDumper]

I'll cherry pick quotes and heavily edit them so I'll be doing what I accuse the big, bad media of doing to my delicate flower, Sarah.

God, I love her!

Ahhh, got it. Inside thing. My bad.

Maybe it's because all three of them are 10x smarter than Palin.

Define "smooth", TPark.

In Presidential terms, since that is the severity of this query.

Maybe.

Or Maybe because they are all full of .

[Spurminator]

CNN?

and.....

Really you should just avoid the cable stations in prime time altogether if you're looking to avoid the partisan bull . It's news entertainment, it's not news.

[Yonivore]

I hope YOU are ing joking?

Youre smart, youre obviously interested and motivated.

But there comes a point in those excuses when you have to take an honest stock of a given situation.

You sir, are falling very short of that very low hurdle.

Well, the media isn't playing up her absence as much as you guys are. Personally, I think it's much ado about nothing.

She gave Charlie Gibson 2 days...

Who know how long Katie Couric ran tape until she had enough to edit down into a hit piece.

Besides, the media doesn't seem too interested in her side of the story on a wide ranges of issues...but, they'll throw up one of the 20% of Alaskans who don't like her in a heartbeat.

[T Park]

Define smooth?

Obama is smooth, with his delivery.

McCain is smooth in how he talks about military and what not.

Bill Clinton is smooth all around.

If they don't know an answer they just BS it and make it seem like they know it.
