Can You Say ‘Sexist’?

This interview that Charles Gibson is doing is going to be a farce and dishonest to the American people!! Who are you - the media accountable to? Is it us the viewers or corporate America?!!! Please read on below to understand why this interivew that Gibson gives to Palin is such a crock of Alaska!!

"And it's pretty clear this farce is going to be close to unwatchable. Set aside that this comes just on the heels of McCain campaign manager Rick Davis saying Palin would not sit for any interviews "until the point in time when she'll be treated with respect and deference." The tell comes high up in the AP story by David Bauder. The second graf reads ...

Palin will sit down for multiple interviews with Gibson in Alaska over two days, most likely Thursday and Friday, said McCain adviser Mark Salter.
Political interviews are never done like this. Because it makes the questioning entirely at the discretion of the person being interviewed and their handlers. The interviewer has to be on their best behavior, at least until the last of the 'multiple interviews' because otherwise the subsequent sittings just won't happen. For a political journalist to agree to such terms amounts to a form of self-gelding. The only interviews that are done this way are lifestyle and celebrity interviews. And it's pretty clear that that is what this will be.

Here's some more to inspire confidence ...

The interview is a coup for Gibson, who also had the only sit-down with McCain during the Republican National Convention. During that interview, he did not question McCain about Palin's family, a decision that he fretted about for hours, Gibson said in a Web log posted last week.

"Once you know about her daughter's pregnancy, once you know about her husband's political interest in the Alaska Independent Party, once you know about the special nature of their latest child, I think that's enough," Gibson wrote.

The relevant questions about Palin all related to her experience and policy positions as a mayor and governor of Alaska.

ABC News spokesman Jeffrey Schneider said he did not believe Gibson's stated stance about family questions was key to securing the interview. It will be unwatchable. "

These libchicks are just jealous of Mrs. Palin because they have lost their looks and she still has her..plus a manly husband who appreciates her.

Outrageous topwomen who have REALLY pushed for equality for all these years, that would include me
by the way, a single mom of 3, grandmother of 4,and small business owner. The slick trick is to use the feminine to do ithe GOP's "dirty work" by sudddenly finding a fiercely ambitious, extremely narrow minded woman, who will do just fine to push the very masculine agenda of the GOP.
Hillary may not be pretty by Mc Cain's standards and comments, but she at least has brains and is not
all scripted like a las vegas commedy act. Even this so called interview with ABc which the GOP selected
along with the most luke warm interviewer possible and then instead of a hard interview such as the other candidates have carried, diluted this from an interview to a 2 day walk about through Alasks with Palin, speaking to her general philosphies and answering only approved and therefore scripted dialog.
Its theater and an insult to real feminists, who the GOP has always desposed. What a fiasco....only women who can only get info from Fox news and don't have internet...can popssibly believe this....Why not have choosen a Diane Sawyer, a Barbara Walters a Campbell Brown? Bbecause they are real reporters and might just ask questions that Palin can't fake her way through.

Insuranceman: Not only are most of your "facts" wrong, but your conclusions are also in error. Palin showed herself at the convention to be a snyde, sarcastic, meanspirited person who hypocritically does not understand what this country needs. Obama, on the other hand, is a statesman. He doesn't need to be ugly like McCain/Palin, because he's making plans to LEAD. He understands more than simple force - diplomacy and statesmanship are complex. Which is probably why so many uneducated people are conservative. They don't get it. And neither do you. You know why colleges are full of liberals? Because, when people start CRITICAL THINKING, they realize liberalism is THE answer to a pluralistic society.

Anna Quindlen is 100% correct. Republicans have never supported women's rights. I recall Rush Limbaugh always referring to women trying to obtain equal rights for women as "feminazis". The religious far-right wing of the party has always been against women with children leaving their home to pursue a career. Dobson and the entire Republican party is the biggest bunch of hypocrites in existence.

I am amused by the feminists who think Palin's presence is an attempt to gain the Hillary votes. Hillary is not someone the average American woman identifies with. And that is the point, the reason why, we the average American working women who struggle and juggle to excel in our many roles, are fascinated by Palin's accomplishments.

Thank you, Anna, for pointing out the ongoing hypocrisy of the Republican party - and Sarah Palin. I'm so angry and disgusted with the hypocrisy of this election that I'm taking time off work to campaign for the Democrats. Although an Obama/Biden supporter, I was planning on voting for my Republican congressman, a man who has worked hard for our district, until I heard his speech lauding Sarah Palin as a qualified Vice Presidential - and Presidential candidate.

Phill Gramm had it right, a lot of Americans are whiney crybabies wanting someone to take care of them, instead of being free thinking independent stand on your own people. for some unbelievable reason they think they government has an unending supply and should be given a share for nothing. wake up people, GOVERNMENT PROGRAMS DO NOT WORK.
