Please, who is Brown kidding.  Such a showing of Palin's best interests by the loony left.  They could care.  They only want to try to get more fodder for their slime machine against Palin.  Brown's comments show how really stupid the Dems can be.

Who is this woman to be ranting about anything, anyway? I'm sure she is acting in Gov. Palin's best interests, but just report on the news for a change! "Chauvinistic chains?" Good grief, Campbell Brown!

As soon as Palin was announced, the liberal media went nuts in trying to find any dirt, down to the smallest speck, and rush breathlessly to the microphone to proclaim "she's not qualified!!!"

• Democrats don't go on Fox. They might face tough questions. Instead they go on MSNBC where they can expect questions like, "how did you feel when the nasty Republicans smeared you?" Did the liberal news media complain about "hiding?" No.
• There were no questions about Obama's qualifications. He spent 143 days in the senate before he proclaimed himself qualified to be president - even though that didn't give him enough time to be qualified for the senate! Did the press challenge Obama then? No.
• On Obama's trip, he faced no questions from the press. All we got were photos and a vacuous speech. The network anchors went with him on the trip, gasping in Obama's air. Did they complain about press availability then? No.

It comes down to one simple fact. The news media is biased in favor of liberals. That's why the McCain campaign wants to keep the wolves away from her. They, in their self-serving lack of reflection, don't think they're biased. So, since they can't explain this on their own bias, they stupidly assume it must be for other reasons - and so they accuse McCain of sexism? That's deliberate ignorance. Ignorance with malice aforethought.

bwa-ha-ha

Journalism is the opium of the liberals

I missed Ms. Brown's rant when Obama met with Merkel, Blair and Brown this summer without cameras.  When is CNN going to re-run this rant. 

Let's get real.  Obama has essentially no experience in foreign policy (or domestic policy for that matter).  Where Governor Palin has a long list of accomplishments as a mayor and governor, Obama has no real accomplishments show for his infancy as a US senator (I'm sorry, sitting on a committee is not an accomplishment).

Senator McCain is the only presidential candidate who has a proven track record of bucking the system, reaching across party lines and bringing Americans together. 

Doesn't this remind you of the Fox asking to guard the Hen house from other foxes?

 But in this case the Hen is actually a Pitbull in disguise who would more than likely eat the Fox alive.  I say let Palin answer Alma's questions and by all means don't tie her hands.  After Alma starts to rant and rave and lose all self control Sarah can knock her liberal white butt out.

This is hysterical! Alma (yes, that's her real name) Campbell Brown has outdone herself on this one! lol!

One can only wonder if Alma got where she is by using her Daddy's influence, or by spending a fair amount of time on her knees, but either way, this woman has a ton of arrogance (ehem.. I mean "hubris", of course) to claim sexism against Palin.

Alma should remember that it was HER unprofessional actions that caused McCain to cancel his interview with her network. Yet she still has a job. Thanks Daddy? Or thanks to some unnamed MSM bigwig?

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." ~ Sen. Joe Biden

The McCain campaign should agree to the interview if they use the same exact questions that Larry King used with Ahmadinjad.  Forget sending Sarah, the youngest Palin daughter could answer them and then give Larry tips on how to interview.

"By treating Sarah Palin different from the other candidates in this race, you're not showing her the respect she deserves."

Campbell, YOU want to treat her different!  Obama met with all those leaders on his summer world concert tour and reporters were not in on those meetings, so why should they be in on meetings with Palin?  Have reporters been in on McCain and Biden meetings with world leaders?

You also complain that she hasn't had a press conference...how many have Biden had in the same timeframe?  Obama and McCain?

You complain that she tends to use a teleprompter...Obama set up his teleprompter in a RODEO RING!

You complain that she won't be interviewed...she had a 3 part interview with Charlie Gibson, a 2 part interview with Sean Hannity, and has a 1 or 2 part interview set up with Katie for this weekend.  Not too bad for 5 weeks...especially the five weeks you media yokels have put her through.  You and yours have scrutinized her more in the last 5 weeks than you have scrutinized Obama, Biden, or even McCain.  All the while running the most bizzare stories that have no shreds of proof and which started on left wing hate sites.

Campbell, there is almost no single way in which YOU and the rest of the media have treated her THE SAME as any other candidate in the history of US politics!!!!

Eventually, Palin will speak to the Media on her and the McCain campaign terms.

In essence, I do agree that she must engage the press; however, it has to be approached in a fair manner.

Right now, it seems that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS and so on are baiting the McCain campaign. 

She needs to use the press to get the message out to voters so it requires a delicate balance.  Palin is more than able to defend her positions on issues--the concern is whether the pundits will like her answers.

The press should report her answers and not engage in numerous contextual analytical critics of her answers--but they will.

My advice is that sometimes you have to just wing it.

Palin's connection with average voter is strong, I believe.

Stop, you're making my sides hurt from laughing so much.  Brown needs to change her occupation from journalist to sarcastic comedian.  This is giving David Leisure (Joe Izuzu) and Baghdad Bob a serious run for their spots.

So Ms. Brown by your logic when Obama supposedly told Biden to shut up after all his gaffes, Obama was being racist telling an old white guy to not talk????

Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, starving the poor one gallon of ethanol at a time. Fill your tank with E85 and cull a village.

Come on now. Does she really think we're that stupid?

Brown grills McCain and gives Obama a BJ. Nice way to be fair and balanced.

Oh yeah, that's not a CNN way of doing business.

Hey Barack, your sweety Brown is calling for you!

The only job I could see Campbell Brown excelling at is being an intern for Bill Clinton.

She's already a journalistic whore, she may as well be one in real life.

Hey Campbell Brown - throw in a load of laundry and wash my dishes! :-)

They just want more access so they can treat her like Charlie Gibson did. If they can't question her how are they going get more gotcha moments like the ill defined "Bush doctrine" question?

The McCain camp wasn't being sexist. I didn't see any of that or hear about it. What is Campbell Brown whining about?

I wanted to know precisely what Campbell Brown had reported about Obama's closed-door, no-press-access Middle East and European tours...  Don't these people realize every word they say on-air is available on-line?

The day Obama met with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas and had dinner with Israeli Prime Minister Olmert and a day in which President Peres was effusive in his praise of Obama, there was no mention of what was said during the meetings, no mention of them being closed-door, only a discussion about Obama's gaffe about Israel and Palestine.

CNN Transcript, 23 Jul 08

On the day Obama met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Campbell had absolutely nothing to say about the meeting, no mention of the meeting being closed-door.  Didn't even say "Angela Merkel" during her report that evening.

CNN Transcript, 24 Jul 08

The next day, it was Paris and French President Sarkozy.  Nothing was reported about the meeting between Obama and Sarkozy, nor was it mentioned it was a closed-door meeting.  Sarkozy's effusive press conference was discussed enthusiastically between the two women.

CNN Transcript, 25 Jul 08

Campbell Brown's "reporting" speaks volumes about her personal political agenda being made public.

Brown's croc tears are a croc.  She has no right to question this issue - based upon her lack of unbiased, balanced, past reporting.  She obviously loves Obama - every word out of her mouth supports this.  She drools.  Therefore, she is unqualified to conduct an interview with anyone other than the Senator.  Why should Palin waste her time with a losing situation?  Obama's press interviews have been love fests - giggles, cutsie questions.  Has anyone asked him to explain why he told the Iraqis to wait until the next president - wink, wink - is elected to declare peace?  He admits it and no one demands an accounting of such a scandalous behavior.  Disgusting. Yet Palin is asked - and answers with confidence - questions Obama should have been asked but never was.  Yet - Obama is running for President.  Palin for veep.  We have higher standards for her.  She is more qualified than he to lead our country.  I wonder if Brown will do a report in which she mentions the dates - and video clips - that Greenspan, Bush and McCain have begged the Democrats to address the possible future problems they could see in the banking industry?  Dodd and Frank are on record stating that there was NO problem.  No worry.  Of course, they and Obama did receive campaign funds from the 2 agencies.  Come on, Campbell - get working on this great story.  You might get a Pulitzer Prize for fair and balanced coverage of the issue.  For now, you deserve the booby prize for shoddy work.

So, what's wrong with being sexy?
