CBS: Palin laments filter of mainstream media while continuing with generalities and smears on stump
Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 12:30 PM by jefferson_dem
...

Palin has devoted a significant portion of every one of her stump speeches in recent days to lamenting that the “filter of the mainstream media” has not given her a chance to do what she really wants to do: talk about the issues. But in filter-free forums across the country, Palin continues to speak in generalities about where she and John McCain want to take the country, calling for tax cuts, winning the wars, and reforming government, while providing very few details on how she would accomplish those goals.

Instead, Palin has increasingly focused her remarks on tearing down Obama.

3. How long did it take?
Over a month for them to figure it out? They coddled that serpent for weeks and still insisted on "vetting" Obama for yet another month (to add onto the previous 19 months where they combed through every detail of his, his wife's, and his mother's/father's/grandparent's/half-brothers/half-sister's/cousins' lives).

5. hmm ... the media is limiting her message?
um ... by not pushing harder for her to come on shows that she's been afraid to go on???

Who isolated her? Wasn't the media ... and Katie Whoric aired her statements without editing ...
