Any one running for office needs to be an open book regardless of party. The problem is that once the media has determined who is their sweetheart, they use kid gloves. Just ask Hillary, even though I can't stand her, she was murdered by the media, and thus their sweetheart Obammy emerged.

I saw nothing either horrible or unfair about the interview. Obama is the one who said "we want to share the wealth around." It does not take any ill-will against Obama to ask why that statement isn't rightfully taken as a statement of Marxism. I pointedly asked the same question myself within the last week as a topic in this forum. Again I ask, what is the difference between "we want to share your wealth, good sir, with others less successful than you" and "from each according to their ability, to each according to their need." There is no fundamental difference. Obama was talking wealth redistribution -- and that is socialism/Marxism.
It just happens this woman is one of the few media people who have had the balls to confront these yahoos on their extreme liberalism.

Not exactly a Chamber of Commerce type interview, was it. All tough questions based strictly on the rumor mill of the right wing and they needed answering.Looks to me like Biden sat there and answered every question thrown at him.
Maybe if the reporter had a detectable personality, he wouldn't have told the station to stuff it.

Welcome to what the McCain campaign (and, to a bit of a lesser degree, the Clinton campaign before it) has dealt with this entire election season.
I think it is sweet, sweet irony that the Obama campaign has mocked the McCain campaign for their attitude towards the media, and one station throws some hardball questions at Biden and the Obama camp cuts off the station.
All I've heard for the past 6 months is how the media is simply asking the questions that should be asked. Funny how the tune has changed now.

RE: Could this be why the Media isnt digging into Obama campaign more?
Yeah, you see why the Dems always get softball questions. Clinton perfected the blackball treatment to any news outlet who questioned them, so Obama is only following footsteps. It's right in line with using the government for personal revenge. Already, Joe the Plumber has had his rights violated be someone using government computers to dig stuff up on him. We ald had another incident from the Obama campaign threatening the same thing though right now I forget exactly what they tried. In his Senate bid they used the government to take out his opponent who was beating him in the polls. Obama isn't afraid of thuggery tactics. In fact he was raised in the political world on them.

RE: Could this be why the Media isnt digging into Obama campaign more?
I'll have to disagree with most people here, though I do believe those questions were fine, it was presented terribly! Worst interview on television I've seen in awhile. They say, "Hi, Joe Biden, thanks for coming on, I see you're in North Carolina right now and aren't you ashamed of ACORN?" I mean, how retarded is that? They sounded like partisan morons. Can't they professionally conduct the interview? They just discredited themselves by acting stupid on a news network, even if they had good, thought provoking questions. Just an idiotic journalism whoever was the guy who managed that.
Maybe the girl had to go to the bathroom really bad?
