This Election and the MSM

One of the most disturbing aspects of this electoral session is the strict control being placed over the candidates and their unavailability to the press. And I mean on both sides, though mostly on the R side. And mostly with Palin. An absolutely untested person who could be President in a few months, and they won't even let anyone ask her a question about more than moose burgers.

Charles Gibson and Sean Hannity don't count, of course.

In fact, that's what's so incredibly sad and disturbing about all this. Just one legitimate journalistic organization has had access to Palin, and beyond a little squeamy trap on the "Bush doctrine," nothing came of it at all.

So we, sadly, have to rely on our daytime talk shows to ask the tough questions:



So sadly, this seems to be the future of our democracy.
