CBS last night
 

Did you see the end of the CBS program last night when Bob Sheiffer turned to Katie Couric and said when you did your interview with Sarah Palin you took the rose off the bloom. That is when their campaign began to crumble. Good job Katie! [paraphased]

I guess they are now bold enough to admit they are baised since the "people" are telling it.

Esther, I didn't see that, but I would say this, I talked to an American recently who was a Republican & here is what he said about Sarah Palin, "Palin is out of her league!"

If there is faults & failings about Sarah, don't you think it should come out now through interviews rather than when she is talking with a head of state & says she doesn't know that Africa is a Continent?

I wouldn't put all the blame on the media.

Sarah Palin isn't a bad person per se, she is just out of her league.

Esther, I know a lot of people who say they will never listen nor watch "those particular sources of news" ever again. They, (including myself,) found Fox News to be the best of any out there! :)

Re: CBS last night
 

Ron, I hear what you are saying, however, that is one of the things I like about Palin, she is not a born and bred political person. And her mistake on not knowing Africa is a Continent is not near as distrubing as a man that lives here in the USA and doesn't know how many states there are here.

I hope she runs for election in 2012 IF she doesn't change and become remade to fit the political agenda.

Re: CBS last night
 

I agree I don't watch them anymore either. I happen to click over just before they went off the air or I would have missed that.

Re: CBS last night
 

Fair enough, I forgot that, what did he say again 56 States???

Re: CBS last night
 

ain't that the truth??!! :)

Re: CBS last night
 

He said 57.

Re: CBS last night
 

I believe his number was 57. :whistle

America is expanding?:ursofunny

Re: CBS last night
 

It amazes me how liberal almost all the media is. I guess the non liberal couldn't survive in the profession.

Re: CBS last night
 

Fox news is the only news channel that I have any respect for. I appreciate most of what Shaun Hannity has to say. At least we have one conservative willing to speak up.

Re: CBS last night
 

Well I don't know if this is true or not but I have heard one that most of the media is owned by foreigners and they do not allow the use of the word "foreign". Based on that their agenda is to tear down America.

Re: CBS last night
 

Yes we was thinking Canada would be a good addition. :):friend:tease

Re: CBS last night
 

Yes - there are 57 Islamic States. He got confused where he was!

Definitely more troublesome than not knowing Africa is a continent. I bet if randomly asked on the street most would call it a country too.

Re: CBS last night
 

That was my understanding as well.

And it is very distrubing when he is running for president of America and not for the Islamic states.........or was he???:whistle

Re: CBS last night
 

Yeah right. She doesn't appear to me to be anymore out of her league than Obama talking about 57 states and Biden's president on TV during depression comments!

But why bring up any of these other comments, eh?

Edited to add after reading rest of thread---> Hehehe I guess you all noticed the same thing too!

Re: CBS last night
 

She's a woman:whistle

Prophecy?

Re: CBS last night
 

That was my feeling. McCain was already running a bad campaign...in fact it was bad during the primaries. His choice to pick a virtually unknown and untested person was disastrous. She was unvetted. She was unexperienced in the larger political picture and world politics.

That interview made her look like an idiot. That does not mean she is an idiot, but what counts are the voters and in particular those already leaning towards Obama who want to know "why should I vote for McCain/Palin?

If McCain wanted a woman there are other women to chose from.

Sorry Republicans but to be honest McCain was the bad choice to begin with to defeat an Obama. McCain was weak to begin with, flip flopping on issues to win the primary...that should have been the first clue.

He was too old, to run against an Obama. He was too white to run against an Obama. Palin too in-experienced. She had the fire. She read scripts well, but that was not near enough to run against Obama and to counter the stigma of the Bush presidency. Bad campaign from the get go. I always felt that way.

Re: CBS last night
 

The problem isn't really HER experience. The problem is that is ALL the majority of voters will ever really see with a media slant towards Obama.

Re: CBS last night
 

I agree Prax and said that when he got the nomination. I also said I was voting against Obama and not for McCain.

But the thing folks failed to consider anytime you do interviews with these people they cut and edit to make you look the way they want you too. You do better in an unedited situation like she did with Hannity.

Re: CBS last night
 

I really wonder if the goal was to throw the campaign all along.

I heard McCain on the radio here today...the radio host was playing clips. McCain said 'I really want to be president'....."Obama is a good man...listen..listen An Obama presidency should not be feared" the audience was booing. Then McCain stumbled "but I will make a better president"....

Sounds almost like he had conceded the election a long time ago (the quote was much earlier.

Who assures your supporters that the other guy will essentially make a good president? You don't have to rip him to shreds either...but this is weird

Re: CBS last night
 

Wow never heard that before that is just plain scary!

Re: CBS last night
 

Well Washington, DC will be granted Statehood soon-- THANK GOD!!!

Re: CBS last night
 

I have to agree with you on this but more specifically she is a Conservative woman. So much difference between how Biden could goof up and get little or no media attention and how her every word was scrutinized.
