In Palin’s acceptance speech she said she was not going to be in Washington to impress the mainstream media but to work for the people. No names were mentioned. But, people who have been watching politics while Gustave was forcing people out of their …

Politicians cannot treat reporters like this. . . . I’ve seen what happens to Republicans (and Democrats) who cultivate an adversarial relationship with the press. As soon as a scandal or a gaffe or some other bad news hits, and you want to get your s…

Translation: Pound sand.

Yea, and do it sideways while you are at it MSM. I think the whole sane part of the country got more than enough of your version of a “fair shake” when dealing with the Republican VP nominee.

Don’t worry though MSM, I’m sure there will be plenty of opportunity to get interviews from Governor Palin over the next 16 years.

They aren’t even pretending to be unbiased anymore. Palin ridiculed them in her speech, and she seems to be getting more popular by the day. To say that they hate her is an understatement.

This is the start of the death watch for for the Shrinking Media. H/T Hot Air……

Talk about a cone of silence.

Yes I do. I didn’t realize “Canuck” had a negative connotation, since my Canadian friends would frequently use it to jokingly refer to themselves. I will refrain from using it in the future.

Well, don’t be like that. I feel bad now ;)

Anyway, you’re clearly a gentleman and a scholar.

Good point.

Instead of Dallas reporters, talk more to Waco, Temple, Kileen (although she doesn’t have to worry about Texas!). But, you get my point. The smaller markets have to play it straight because they are closer to their viewers–and the larger affiliates will have to use this tape. These small market reporters will be thrilled to talk to Palin. And, it will reach a lot of voters, who all watch the local news waiting for the weather and sports.

Let’s keep her to small markets until the debate, and maybe even after then. SHE DOESN”T NEED THEM. Let McCain do the large markets. He’s the top of the ticket.

Ummm…any special reason folks are bashing this Dave Rywall because he’s a Canadian (as oppossed to his lefty bias, unclear thinking and/or incomplete arguements)?

You totally missed the point!!!… Dave claimed that she didn’t have any foreign affairs experience. Since Canada is NOT part of the US, her negotiation with Canada over the pipeline should qualify as foreign affairs experience. As much as Canadians (yes, I’ve had several Canadian friends) get teased about being a territory of the US, how can he possibly argue this point?

No, I agree. I am talking about the use of “canuck” (not in a joking way) by this ManRash fella. Seems to me Dave Rywall’s thinking is easily countered without having to resort to that. There are plenty of poeple that come to Hot Air to participate on the discussion, and ending an arguement against them with, what I consider, a sort of personal snide remark about which country they happen to be from, is not cool.

If some French lefty poster makes a dumb anti-McCain comment or something, you tear him a new one alright, but don’t end it by saying “..you got it Frog”?

See what I’m getting at?

as long as they keep their mouths shut and don’t trash my country.as long as they keep their mouths shut and don’t trash my country.

Besides, I don’t recall Dave Rywall’s posts attacking America, just the Republican party etc.
