Roger Simon of Political apologizes for the press in regards to Sarah Palin.


On behalf of the media, I would like to say we are sorry.

On behalf of the elite media, I would like to say we are very sorry.

We have asked questions this week that we should never have asked.

We have asked pathetic questions like: Who is Sarah Palin? What is her record? Where does she stand on the issues? And is she is qualified to be a heartbeat away from the presidency?

We have asked mean questions like: How well did John McCain know her before he selected her? How well did his campaign vet her? And was she his first choice?

Bad questions. Bad media. Bad. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13143.html


I don't care about her pregnant daughter-- What I care about is where she stands on the issues that may affect me and my family--

So, If the press can't ask questions about Palin, her experience, where she stands on the issues.... PLEASE tell me what questions you think McCain would be happy to answer??? What is the presses role during the election process??? Is it they haven't had time to educate her on what her stand is??? PLEASE... does anyone know???

Thanks, g

They'll ask silly questions and ignore important ones. But, some of them are asking the right questions for a change. This is one shady character - she says she is against earmarks but boasts about bringing in the pork, then there is Troopergate. She has shown a knack for outright lying and stretching the truth to ridiculous lengths.

McCain has worked with the media his entire carrier-- They are asking some pretty basic questions that most Americans will need the answers to, before they could vote for the McCain/Palin ticket-- I would love to see an "approved" list of questions from the McCain campaign...
