I am writing this message to inform people of the injustice being perpretrated by Fox News against Barack Obama. For the past two weeks there has been nothing but negative reporting against senator Obama by the Fox News network, which is unfair to listeners and the candidate. This networks seemingly biased opinions are not of interest to us viewers. My concern is that negative reporting like this will influence voters that are undecided of which candidate best express their wishes. I depend on these news stations for fair, accurate and just reporting regardless of the outcome whether it be a debate or any other current event and if that cant be accomplished I feel that it is grounds for that station (Fox News network) to be boycotted until they learn and understand that those types of injustices will not be tolerated. If anyone else can relate to the unfair reporting of Fox News I suggest that you join us in a boycott of this news station. PASS THIS MESSAGE ALONG.

Don''t listen? Good!

Don''t GOOGLE: Berg dismissal Obama.

Don''t do your due diligence.
Don''t inform yourself.
Don''t vote.
Don''t question.

A person [working for CBS, NBC, FOX, CNN, MNBC, Washington Post, NY Times, etc.] may cause evil to others not only by actions but by inaction, and in either case he [or she] is justly accountable to them for the injury. -John Stuart Mill

First we want Palin to speak her mind and give her opinion then once she does everyone becomes critical of her thoughts. Do you want the same people from DC making policy or someone who has a different perspective. Regarding Palins comment on protecting our boarders - what would you say? I beleive we would all say the same thing...protect our country! Couric is trying to trap Palin - maybe CBS is not ready to allow a female to be in this position. Why not scrutinize Biden on policy or question his comments on "those types of people". This democratic female has switched sides and I live in a critical battle state. McCain and Palin keep it going ...not everyone agrees with CBS or Hollywood (A. Judd).

It''s not that Palin is stupid -- she clearly is not -- but she lacks any insight or perspective about the world around her. She is extremely inept at understanding the intricacies of both domestic and international issues. The thought of her as VP or, God forbid, POTUS is something everyone should be VERY concerned about. America is in such a hole, we certainly don''t need Palin digging us in deeper.

I do not think it is entirely justifiable to call Palin an intellectual lightweight. For example, look at our adorable president. Although I think McCain could have chosen Elmo as his VP and that would have elicited a more enthusiastic response from his supporters.

Gov. Palin: go back to Alaska. I just watched the whole series of videos and did not see her answer a single question without changing the subject or spinning her way out of it. Come on, Americans, you can do better. You need to elect a ticket with intellectual respectability, with individuals who will not be derided on the world stage, and who will not "maverick" their way out of situations (sound familiar?). McCain says he is excited with what Palin has brought to the campaign. If that is so, I can4t believe McCain4s expectations for the role of a VP were so low, and that his campaign was in such sorry shape before she was picked.

If you think Palin''s experience as governor qualifies her to be president, just look at the last governor the Republicans elected!!!

I''m glad to see there are really some who proved that Palin is wiser than at least some themselves.
So it''ll not be the end of the world!

We''re not so unlucky till now!

I can only hope GW Bush is right: "Fool people will not get fool again."

Sarah Palin is the poster child for ignorance and idiodicy. I''m a democrat and I WAS EMBARRASSED FOR HER!!! Her interview with Katie Couric reaffirms my choice for Obama/Biden. If McCain cannot even make the right choice for a running mate, his decision-making skills will not improve as president. I think I''ll relocate to Antartica if McCain is elected. . . Go Obama/Biden!!!!

Sarah Palin is honest and transparent. The media is not used to dealing with such people of integrity so they are taken aback. LEAVE HER ALONE... She''s earned her right to be in this race. Her life''s example speaks volumes to women like me!

I for one would like to see this strong woman stand up. Get real, why do you think McCain picked her? for her brains, HA! of course not, they are being sexist, and she is only being used. John McCain and his party has no real intention of giving her anything important to do!

finklesaurus: are you kidding me by asking why they don''t question Obama. He''s out on everything. Don''t you watch Sunday news shows? That''s all they do is question him. She should be able to be questioned just as much.

McCain says people react to Palin in a way he has seldom seen. At least we can agree on that. We have never seen a VP candidate like that before, one that can unite voters from both parties... behind Obama! And now that I think about about it. Shouldn''t Palin be studying her books for her exam on Thursday instead of seeing voters with her mentor?

Why is no one questioning the Democratic top of the ticket? Obama has approximately 135 days in Congress. Where he has done nothing to help this country. As an Independent voter, there''s no way I want this country to go that far left. He will turn this into a Socialist country. And if you don''t think that he has "crammed" for debates through the primaries, as well as now, then you are listening too much to the left wing media. We as Americans need to truly listen to what each candidate is stating, and fully understand what they are saying. I''m not concerned about the VP. If I was, then I''d be more concerned with Joe Biden stating in the primaries that Obama isn''t even fit to be Vice President. Think about that one before you brush Palin off to the side. She''s run a State, as well as a National Guard. I''d rather her be president then Barack Obama.

Sarah Palin ia hopeless, it is too late to make a change now. This is just verification of John McCain''s poor judgment. If he doesn''t make a good choice for his second in command does America think he will appoint competent people in the other positions that are necessary to get us out of this disastrous mess that George Bush has put our country in.

Wrong question asking if 4 days is enough.

She was nominated some 30 days ago.
