They're eliminating even the chance of any kind of interaction with the candidate -- it's just unprecedented." Walshe noted that the McCain campaign eventually did relent and allow a reporter in the same room as Palin -- but only for just 29 seconds.<< <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/09/23/fox-news-producer-restric_n_128653.html" target="_blank">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/...653.html</a>

Originally Posted By gadzuux Sean Hannity will be the only one allowed to ask the candidate any questions. Such as his famous "tell us why you love America so much". Now that's fair and balanced!

Republicans can have their ideals .. but to help hide a person who is not ready to be VP ... that is just so wrong, it tells me .. winning is first, what America needs is SECOND.

They won't let her speak to the country via the press (at least not at-will) and I wonder if that frustrates even her?

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Yeah, I wonder if this is frustrating for her as well. I assume when she took the job, she probably thought she would be doing the standard interviews, having press conferences, etc. I doubt she thought she would be hiding and ducking the press even when getting ice cream.
Originally Posted By DAR WD first of all welcome back. Second I caught some of the Hannity/Palin interview and don't seem to remember "tell us why you love America" popping up.
Originally Posted By WorldDisney Thanks Dar!! It's really good to be back actually, been gone too long and WE, surpringly, seems to be a lot more mellower than I thought it would be, especially now. And I hope the question really wasnt worded that way because that almost seems comical. I know we give FOX news a lot of grief, but if Hannity is asking softball questions like that to this woman, then frankly they deserve it!
