FOX News Producer: Restrictions On Palin Access "Unprecedented"

Is John McCain losing some of his friends at FOX?

FOX News Producer Shushannah Walshe just lashed out at the McCain campaign for denying access to reporters who wanted to witness Sarah Palin's U.N. photo ops earlier today. Walshe said the McCain campaign's restrictions on press coverage were "just unprecedented."

"There's not once chance that Governor Palin would have to answer a question. ... 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.

This does not make sense. Why do they not want their candidate to be able to answer questions?

[FatherWolf]

R.I.P EX_DEMOCRAT_OHIO

It seems that EX_DEMOCRAT_OHIO is no longer with us, at least under that name.

The profile is gone. After less than a day.

Out, out brief candle.

Who will he/she/it be next time?

[SPiHC]

You know it's bad when Faux starts complaining.

Perhaps she's just jealous that Hannity got a two night fawn fest with Palin, and she hasn't yet been allowed to lob softballs her way?

If you had the opportunity to ask Sarah Palin one question that she was forced to answer, what would it be?

Leave your own question for Palin, or vote for other people's questions.

Palin met Karzai for about a half a minute. Don't blink or you might miss it, sandwiched between stories about how good the economy is. And whoever produced the segment mis-identifies Hamid Karzai as Henry Kissinger You would think that Mc Same's phalanx of staff would want Senior McSame's HRC wannabe seen with Kissinger rather than Karzai. These fools can't even get manipulated "infotainment" done right anymore! If the whole thing didn't smack of Goebbles, it would be falling down funny!

I'm really surprised that "World Leaders" didn't see this meeting for what it was and refuse to be used in this way.

[11907281]

2 words - foreign aid

[HowietheScreamer]

Yea, see who the "lucky guys" were? Afghanistan (wants us to kill Al Qaida... wasting their time talking to Mc Stupid campaign), Georgia (wants us to let them in NATO and to kill the Russians for them), Ukraine (same as Georgia).

It amazes me how Michelle can be disrespected, when CIndy is treated as royalty. Didn't she begin her affair with John McCain, BEFORE he was divorced from his first wife. Wasn't she addicted to prescription drugs and went to rehab. Seems to be the insults were thrown in the wrong direction, if someone was looking for leverage. Michelle Obama WILL be the first lady of the United States.

[thinkworklivelove]

The Republicans are trying their best to turn America into a police state, and they are using this campaign as a test. They want to see if they can really get away with bashing the media, controlling the media, and ignoring the media. Country first? Really? Throw these Republicans out of the White House.

[gez]

The question at the top of the page, 'is John McCain losing friends at Fox?' No!! Anyone watching Fox, especially 'Fox And Friends' will see the increasing desperation as Obama increases his lead in the polls. In fact they go out of their way to show the latest McCain ads. O'Reilly is just as bad. He likes to give the appearance of being independent, but is remorseless in his attacks on Obama's past affiliations.

[thinkworklivelove]

Hannity devotes each and EVERY show to dissing Obama and promoting the McSame/Abuse of Power Palin ticket. It's disgusting! FOX is still totally in the tank for all things Republicans.

[pixy242a]

They cannot even trust her with Faux Channel ?

Obviously some forms of religion stunts peoples' ability to think --- else how to explain that the religious right base still think she is the answer to their prayer!

[JerryTheAngel]

When Sarah Palin debates Joe Biden, look for lumps in her clothing and tiny ear pieces. Don't let McCain sit in the first row at the debate. I think Palin is receiving a crash course in Morse code. If McCain does attend the debate, he has to tape his eyelids open.

[TuesdayMorning]

I'm with you!

[kiran888]

yo, Palin is going to cheat during the VP debate. She will definitely have an earpiece with answers.Either that or she will have the questions given to her prior to the debate, like the fake Saddleback Forum.

[FatherWolf]

VP debate? That's so last week. Ain't gonna be no VP debate. Old John and Mrs. Moose are going to be too busy chasing after the next made-up crisis.

[LeaderofMen]

Uh, voters, imagine this.

You're on the Obama campaign staff. You just decided to pick an unknown politician, who's embroiled in a scandal in her home state. You 'claim' that she has foreign policy experience and credentials. The woman has an unwed pregnant teen daughter. The woman's husband was once a card-carrying member of a secessionist group, who's leader is on record hating the US.

And you have decided that your VP pick will NOT be asked any questions by any reporters. Ever.

Imagine being able to get away with that.

[WFV]

It would be nice, but I am glad my candidate has more sense than that.

[billblow3]

(No LeaderofMen), here's one for you and everyone out here, just imagine had Obama pick some one like Palin with all those issues like Palin and her husband has, the media and the right wing neo-cons would be going crazy with those stories, NOW HERE'S THE KILLER, (WHAT IF SHE WAS A BLACK WOMAN ) need I say more!!!!!!!!!!!

[cardtosser]

And at the top of the ticket an admitted adulterer married to a drug addict who stole from a children's charity to support her habit. He divorced his crippled wife for his girlfriend. He was born outside of the United States, and was barely able to graduate from college. He doesn't attend church and is famous for being a hot-head. If he had his way, your Social Security would be invested in a failing stock market.
