Valerie Jarrett, "Sr. Advisor" to Obama being interviewed by Couric. First question out of the box was about Rev. Wright.

3. Her job is to Frame the discussion in ways to denigrate the Dems..in this case.. Obama
Edited on Mon Aug-11-08 06:00 PM by opihimoimoi
She is a Professional Framer....just like the others...the wannabes of Rush, who is their IDOL, who just signed a 400$ Mil contract

That is $400,000,000.00

If that is not a fee to Frame I don't what is....

She is in the wannabe class... up and coming....

4. If Democrats limited themselves to media outlets...

...that aren't corrupt lackeys of the GOP, they'd get no coverage at all.

5. So what? Democrats should only give interviews to reporters who suck up to them?
That is as bad as the GOP only talking to those that support them. We have got to get our viewpoint to the other side because those are the votes we need.Preaching to the choir isn't going to cut it and reporters have the right to ask those kind of questions. Reporters aren't supposed to love either candidate and I honestly would hope they ask hard questions of them both. It would be nice if they asked policy questions but like it or not Wright was an issue and may still be. McCain too has some "splaining to do" and they will probably hammer him as well. Real issues seem to bore them.
