HOW THE PALIN PICK TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

Campbell Brown is blaming Sarah Palin for accepting the vice presidential nomination, and thus putting her daughter in the media spotlight. She also questions whether or not a good mother would have made this decision. This is irresponsible journalism, to say the least -- and a further example of liberal bias which is permeating most cable news networks these days.
Following is the an excerpt:
BROWN: Yeah. I want to begin by asking, you know, what we've been discussing before you sat in the chair. Governor Palin sharing a difficult personal story today. The news her unmarried teenage daughter is pregnant. She plans to have the baby, marry the father.
BOUNDS: He learned about it during the vetting process before his selection. He did not consider it a disqualifier. Governor Palin has a long record of reforming Alaska, taking on the establishment for 13 years. she started out as a civic activist in the PTA, went to the city counsel, on to the mayor of the small town, took on big oil in the oil and gas commission in Alaska then to the governor's office. Her personal family matters never disqualified her from serving public office, serving a higher office in a cause greater than herself. That's John McCain's message. She fits it perfectly and we're happy to have her.
BROWN: Tucker, though, this obviously putting this young woman, Bristol Palin smack in the media spotlight at what's already got to be a very challenging time in her life. I mean, how do you respond to people who wonder why her mother would have subjected her to this scrutiny by accepting this high-profile position?
BOUNDS: I think Governor Palin understands these are serious times with series challenges and it's time to shake up Washington. It was the reason she was have happy to take John McCain's position. She understands we need an approach that includes the alternatives in the renewable fuels. This is an important decision. i think it's dangerous to confuse her decision to get involved and make a difference in the country with a family matter --
BROWN: I recognize that. In an ideal world, it would be private. You know, this is a presidential campaign. Nothing is private. The world is watching. and if we, you know, as much as everyone might want to give this young woman her privacy, you know that's not going to happen. And so you do risk putting her through an incredibly difficult process by accepting this job if you're her mother. You can't deny that, right?
BOUNDS: The Palin family made clear in their statement that they continue to hope this will be a private family matter. That was their intention from the very beginning. Media inquiries and attention are going to happen in the campaign. They understand that. It's important for us as we have a conversation with voters of how we can change Washington, how we can move forward and take on the challenges Americans expect of their public officials. We keep a private matter private among their family. Certainly all of us, the members of the media would expect that from Americans. that's the way we're proceeding.
They are digging their own grave.
Just another Dim example of blaming the victim instead of the attackers.
Not only Campbell Brown but Larry King, Kyra Phillips, Wolfie Blitzer. It has been unbelievable. Openly admitting to going to Alaska and seeking out more stuff on the family. Are we going to allow this to happen? McCAin better stick with her BIG TIME. I am so pissed I could scream. I cant even work. Ive been on FR all morning. ARgh.
Campbell was in rage last night. I was watching her at my in-laws house and she was just over the limit with her anger. True colors come through once again.
The VIEW is about to talk about the whole thing and I just flipped it from them. Poor Elizabeth is going to have it on her own and the rightious left co-hosts will try to destroy this lady and her family.
Once again, I dispise the left!

The MSM and RATS are exposing themselves as the vile human waste that they’ve always been.
This is beyond troubling, but completely predictable. I expect more of the same from liberals who have moved from reporting to ongoing opinions. I have stopped watching tv news (again) for mental health reasons.
Campbell Brown: “Nothing is private.”
Better Response: “Except John Edwards fathering a child out-of-wedlock. Hunter Biden under investigation. The Gore son with drugs and reckless driving.”

Didn’t she also give out some incorrect info during this fiasco? She told Bounds that state National Guardsman are under the strict jurisdiction of the Federal Government. She was very adamant in her remark while Bounds tried to tell her that National Guard units are controlled by the state’s governor, that being Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
Campbell Brown is a corrupt MSM journalist. She is pimping for the Dimocrat party.
Democrats....be very careful what you wish for. Americans, all love the underdog!! We all pull for the self starter who loves GOD, COUNTRY, FAMILY and works to help others whenever and however....and this IS SARAH PALIN in spades!!!!! If you choose to make fun of her personal and professional life,....do it at your own peril!
Blame Tucker Bounds. He was pathetic.
From this point on, Palin should ignore all reference to her daughters. I believe that the conservative media should ignore it also and not even talk about it. It has nothing to do with being VP.
Thanks for the tip!
Well the more the Dems,the MSM, and their allies step into the KOSpoop, the more likely they will help bring about a GOP win in November.
Not to mention Bill Clinton's private life.
I feel your anger. I am upset with the libs as well, but they want to win this race at all costs and they will stop at nothing to win. CHEAT LIE STEAL and would not put it past them to go beyond what has ever been done before.
You know she is married to none other than Ari Fleisher. I guess its a James and Mary situation. I dont know how they do it.
