Please call it what it is: ABC Gibson's free infomercial for Palin.
I noticed that on CNN, during the morning hours when people tune in, Politico had a rep on was saying that Palin's bridge to no where wasn't really a lie.

The media will not expose the McCain/Palin reformer farce.

1. It was pretty clear that they would blow this out to a three parter.

2. We should inundate ABC with emails/letters: Equal time for Joe Biden

8. That's not the point. We KNOW Biden can think on his feet.
I want to see her handle a complex question...unscripted and unedited.

THIS IS IMPORTANT! She's not interviewing for a PR position.

3. Of course. That's exactly what it is.
It will be soft lighting, and tinkly soft piano music in the backround. It will be exactly like one of Barbara Walters' Pre-Oscar interview shows.

14. Nope
I have seen the morning cable news programs. Fox is by far #1 but overall they have very small audiences. More people use radio in the AM than TV.

9. The only possible good thing that might come out of the Gibson infomercial..
is that others in the MSM will call it for for what it will be, and that there will still be a demand for Palin to face questions from real journalists.

We know that KO and Rachel will do so. I have my doubt about Matthews.. he still seems to be on the palin bandwagon.

Anyone know who's moderating the VP debate? That might be the last possible Palin exposure.
