Here is video of Sarah's speech today in Media PA.The crowd was estimated to be between 10 to 15,000 people. The coverage of this speech on Philly TV stations,or rather the lack of it, coming on the heels of a rally that drew 60,000 on Sunday was disgraceful. None of them showed much if any live coverage of any of the speeches. This is the only video I could find and it is only of Sarah not McCain. Shameful.

Other estimates have ranged it up as high as 25,000 people.

You can blast the local TV stations for the disgraceful, almost total blackout of this rally:
WPVI 6 ABC

KYW 3 CBS

WCAU 10 NBC

That’s how the media is going to deal with Palin-—no coverage at all, hoping she’ll go away.
Wow, I don’t know what channel you were watching, but I watched Channel 6 at 6:00 and they had a wonderful report on the rally. I didn’t see any actual video of the speeches, but the reporterette interviewed several voters - two of whom were Democrats voting for McCain/Palin - and said there were “many thousands” of people there. The film of the crow chanting and waving pompoms was fantastic.
Obviously I can’t watch every channel at the same time. I checked out the websites and there is little to nothing there,except at Fox 29. I saw a two minute report on channel 3 too. I think this deserved a lot more coverage , one day after Sarah drew 60,000 in Florida.
And isn’t PA a battleground state?
You’re kidding, right? lol
WPVI ran a very favorable clip of McCain-Palin for about 3 minutes.
KYW-CBS put in a lot of anti-Palin comments but covered the rally to some extent.
WCAU-NBC had a black reporter who is very pro-Obama interview John McCain and gave him all the Democratic talking points.
The McCain campaign has very few friends in the Philadelphia news media.
About Eskin? No, not kidding.
Excellent thank you so much for posting this!
