Brian Ross of ABC going after Palin hard this morning!
He's giving the story of Palin and the librarian. Robin even brought up the response by the McCain camp and he shot it down fast saying there was intimidation and the librarian--who no longer works there--said Palin was VERY hard to work for.

Great piece to start the morning! :bounce:

4. I like Brian Ross. He strikes me as one of the few with
some kernels of integrity.

10. Thanks...great report, although I could have done without Robin Roberts' little apologia at the end
Too bad the librarian doesn't want to revisit that painful period of her life on camera (although I can understand why and am glad that she at least gave Brian a few quotes).

Thanks for the link.

21. Wasn't Robin Roberts one of the few AfricanAmeriicans
invited to a fancy dinner at the WH last year?

Seems like Condi had on a bight red dress for the affair.

11. I'm sure they'll soon be equating librarian to liberal
and claiming it was political revenge by a disgruntled Democrat.

12. That was a good report. Factual, not over the top.
Is anyone listening?

15. CNN A Cooper had a piece that pretty much shot this down - Glad to hear the truth is out!
I couldn't believe how CNN Anderson Cooper report shot this Librarian story down as well as a couple of other things and then he said something like, "We are keeping it honest". Bull! Why don't they have Anne Kilkenny on who Snopes says really knows the truth! http://www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/sarahpalin.asp

But after that they had a report on about the aerial shooting of wolves and bears and had an Alaskan on who said that she has a terrible record on the environment!

16. I heard that as well
Anderson pretty much said he'd debunked this false book banning deal. He had no evidence, he had no in depth research that I could see, heck, he didn't even cover some of the basic facts.

of propping her up. Yeah, that should do the trick.

22. Ross did FoleyGate ... he was the "force"
From late August through mid to late September there were a ton of articles by Ross and his team at "The Blotter." I've been waiting for him to get cranked up. If he does, and approaches FoleyGate
levels, it's all over for the former Miss Alaska aspirant. Seriously.

Here's the web site. http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/

Ross is the index on how upset the PTB are with the Palin pick.
