Comments on: Paper: Obama Campaign Payback At TV Station

[gradbird]

WATCH SPLITSCREEN COMPARE: BIDEN INTERVIEW V. MCCAIN INTERVIEW QUESTIONS ON YOUTUBE. HER HUSBAND IS A GOP MEDIA STRATEGIST, AND HER QUESTIONS FOR MCCAIN ARE REPUBLICAN TALKING POINTS AND AT ONE POINT, SHE ASKS MCCAIN WHY HE DOESN''T GO HARDER ON OBAMA. Then watch how she poses questions for Biden-a clear bias to smear Biden/Obama, and give McCain a free pass to attack Obama-under the gloss of journalistic detachment.

The media has never asked that campaign a tough question, so of course Joe the Senator didn''t know how to handle it. Thanks to the media I now know more about Joe the Plumer than I do about Barak Obama. As proof of how biased the media is: On the main political page of this website there are 2 headlined stories about Sara Palin''s clothes and makeup. I had to dig deep into the blogs to find this story though.

Brucie 2006. Hey, I''m with you. Am all for locking up anyone and everyone who got some sort of kickback. Dem or Repub. Now, when you get down to the bottom line, that''s a lot of folks and DC may have a bunch of houses for sale. So be it. I''ll back you 100%. Let the chips fall where they may. If it is 80% Repub and 20% Dem, then there will be more Repubs in jail than there will be Dems. If you are corrupt, you need to go to jail. No mercy from me.
Still does not answer the question, when do we get to hear from Barney re Fan/Fred? Also, is Barney correct when he said on Friday that we will have to raise taxes? Sort of smacks OB''s message right in the teeth.

Yep, Barbara West was using the interview for her Republican party accusations. Her husband serves as a media consultant for the republican party. In an interview with McCain is only hard question was to ask him why he doesn''t go after Obama like he should. She''s a joke.

Sarah Palin was asked by a 5th grader what is "her job description" and for the "second" time that idiot Palin answered wrong...

Just watch Palin''s interviews and you its understandable how much of an idiot she is!!!!

[brucie2006]

Rick Davis, economic advisor (and idiot that said McShame invented the "Blackberry"), receives a monthly check from both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac; named as one of the dirty CEOs and board member. Rick Davis needs to be investigated for his corruption in the economic failures.

Carly Fiorini, got fired for economically trashing the company and spying on board member, by Hewlett Packard and got a $40 million severance package; then 25,000 HP employees loss their jobs.

more corrupt repigs...that is whay McShame is loosing.

Yes, indeed. A reporter is to simply garner info. Just like the CNN reporter the other day interviewing Palin and quoting about 10% of a Natl Review article. Of course, he was only trying to garner info. He would never try to humiliate Palin. Not CNN. Everyone is fair and above board except for the mean conservatives.
Someone on this blog wrote earlier that Dems made more money and were more intelligent than Repubs. Heck, might be true. Did not mention the fact sheet from whence came this revelation. Anyway, if it is true, good. You have more wealth to be spread around. Be happy. As far as the intelligence bit, does Joe fit in the median of your survey or is he within at least 3 standard deviations?
I don''t get it. The VP of the most powerful nation in the world and is humiliated by a question to the point that all of his apologists have to come to his rescue. Good grief!

I feel the majority of news reporting in America has failed the American people through the ''08 campaign. They would rather ask about Palin''s clothing (which RNC purchased) rather than ask what should be asked. They are not covering Obama''s ties to Frank Davis (a role model/mentor to him growing up that was Communist/radical), Ayers, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, Farakkhan and others. I want to know how his involvement with them influenced him and what his true world view is (because I don''t believe we have the truth on that yet). After in office if elected would be too late. But by the media ignoring these affiliations as what he says "distractions" I think they have made a grave mistake and injustice to the public.

So all you liberals, what happened to the 1st amendments guarantee of a free press? Biden gets a tough question and all the liberals and leftist get their knickers in a twist? Just answer the question Joe, I for one would like to know what your answer is. They were all over Palin, and still are, about her experience to be V.P., but you never hear similiar questions to Obama about his experiance. For all you independents and undecided voters out there, I think one of the questions you need to ask yourself is... if Obama was white would he today be the Democratic Presidential nominee? If the answer is no, then I would suggest a closer look at both the man and his policies.

[brucie2006]

The reporter West actually embarassed herself for asking that ridiculas maxist question. I would have asked her, how many more republicon''s are going to be indicted for corruption after Stevens?"...or what was the Republicon''s egress plans for Iraq after "6 years."

good on Biden..
