Sarah Palin Visits the UN

With Sarah Palin's visit to the UN underway, the question now is not how her meetings with foreign head of states will go but rather, will anyone know how they go? The McCain camp remained steadfast in their tight restrictions around Palin, greatly limiting the press from having any access whatsoever to the VP candidate. I can't help but admit that this constant tightening of the belt around Palin is getting to be ridiculous. After all, the media has the right to do their job. If the McCain campaign continues to jerk around the major media outlets, why won't said outlets just pull their coverage of McCain and his cronies? They threatened to do so today (scroll down to the bottom of the article to read the entire ordeal in chronological order) and eventually won some ground but if this continues, the media will need to stand up for themselves and put their foot down. Palin can't hide forever as the McCain campaign will eventually need to start reaching out to swing voters and trying to let people have an idea as to who this enigma who could be help running the country really is.

I agree and felt this was an important topic and that is why I wrote about it also.
