    Why would the real McCain be hanging out with Biden? Obviously they were giving him a prop in the hopes we would get off some zingers and he did.

    Murdock has made public statements in support of Obama. But that hardly makes him "very liberal", a fair share of Independents and Libertarian types also do (the social conservativism scares them more than movements towards more/bigger social programs do). For the most part he is Murdock conservative/libertarian.

    And let's get to CNN. The two most non-centrist, non-neutral, commentators (Dobbs, Beck) on the network's programs are right.

    I thought the whole idea the media was "far-left" should have gotten blown out of the water concerning the Iraq War. Heck there was more resistance to the war in Congress than the media. The mainstream US media is far more dollar-biased (do what they can to get ratings and happy sponsors) than left-biased, and there are plenty of right-biased media outlets too.

    Hardly

    But he does know which way the political winds blow and knows what sells newspapers.

    Focusing on Palin is focusing on Mccain because it highlights his TERRIBLE TERRIBLE judgement that he thinks this woman is ready to be president on day 1.

    Also, Mccain is a 72 year old cancer survivor. It is VERY important that America knows what Palin believes in.

    I bet Charles Gibson does not have the stones to go after her on any of these very valid issues.

    I have watched ABC Nightly News every night for years, rain or shine with TIVO, My wife likes it.

    Charlie Gibson is a moderate conservative and a wimp who can occasionally ask a tough question of a Democrat. Don't you remember the disgraceful debate between Hillary and Obama in which Gibson and Stephanopolous spent half the time asking gotcha questions of Obama in an extraordinarily biased manner. Their bias in favor of Bush and McCain is reasonably obvious if you watch it all the time. There is a reason why they chose Charlie Gibson. There will be no tough questions for her.

    I get the feeling that the first reporter asking a semblance of a tough question to Palin will be labeled by her defenders as a pinko chauvanist with a left wing agenda to bury their sacred cow.

    VIA TPM --

    Political interviews are never done like this. Because it makes the questioning entirely at the discretion of the person being interviewed and their handlers. The interviewer has to be on their best behavior, at least until the last of the 'multiple interviews' because otherwise the subsequent sittings just won't happen. For a political journalist to agree to such terms amounts to a form of self-gelding. The only interviews that are done this way are lifestyle and celebrity interviews. And it's pretty clear that that is what this will be.


    Here's some more to inspire confidence ...

    I'm not expecting much.
