Why does Sarah "Pinko" Palin insist on answering only pre-screened questions? This is not Soviet Russia.?

Question

A democratic government must govern only with the consent of the governed. How informed will that consent be if she is not subjected to rigorous questions from reporters about the issues? Will she ever sit down again with the likes of Charlie Gibson or Katie Couric or is she too fragile?

Answer 1

The same reason Obama does.

Answer 2

Do you have an odd delusion that all other politicians *don't* require reporters to stick to pre-screened questions?



I have a bridge in Brooklyn for you to buy, you too could be rich! Think of all the money you could make charging tolls!



---------edit



Are you referring to the conference where the agenda was worked out ahead of time, it was about a narrow topic, and the positions of both parties and their objections were so predictable that either side could have performed in their sleep? It's not really that big an achievement, it would be more remarkable if he had failed.



We are talking about interviews, with reporters, where the topics can be far ranging, not about one single issue. How would Obama have performed if it wasn't just about the Health Care bill, but ranged around from Budget, to Taxation, to health care, To the Military, To Foreign policy, to Foreign policy involving Ireland and how it pertains to the Military, so on and so forth. That's why they *ALL* use pre-screened questions. To try and minimize Ambush Journalism.

Answer 3

Nice try to induce an anti Palin rant. I fail to see why Palin is relevant as, she is not running for office and is a private citizen making as much money as she can on the talking circuit. If former presidents and party hacks can do it, is it not a free country that also affords her the same opportunitie?. Get over Palin and move on however, referring to her as a "Pinko" is name calling and against the Terms of Service for YA.

Answer 4

well the answer IS very Obvious.... YOU CAN ONLY WRITE SO MUCH ON YOUR HAND



AND just on this :



~~~EDIT:

Sabz: Perhaps you missed the conference in which President Obama stood alone in a room full of Republican politicians and answered any questions they wished to answer.~~~



YOU know THAT that doesn't matter to THEM... they will continue to believe what they want to believe and imagine the rest !

Answer 5

First of all, "Pinko" is an outdated reference to a communist, something I seriously doubt Mrs. Palin is.

Secondly, virtually all public figures demand that they only be asked pre-screened questions, so Mrs. Palin is hardly unique in that.



Why so many people on the Left can't see any wrong in their leaders and no right in the political opposition, is laughable. We on the Right freely admit to the mistakes and screwups of our leaders, yet you on the Left won't even acknowledge the possibility of your people being wrong.

Answer 6

it is extremely super! bypass forward and delight yourselves bashing Sarah Palin. I relatively like it. i'm a Paleo-Conservative. I bear in concepts the Left making use of this same form of ridicule against Ronald Reagan. Then the election got here and Reagan swept the floor with Jimmy Carter. The Left then did what it consistently does while they get their heads surpassed to them, they double down and grew to alter into much extra vicious in the direction of Reagan. Then the election got here and he gained 40 9 of 50 States. in fact the sole state he lost replace into his opponent's very own residence State and that regulate into close. So, save on I implore you. save attempting to shouting louder and louder on your Liberal echo chamber and persuade yourselves that usa of america thinks the kind you do. good as much as the election. *

Answer 7

this is the surest mark of a propagandist. every where, every time.

she has no clue what she's really saying. and having to actually elaborate on the talking points would blow up in the face of all involved.



W did the same thing. NO, our sitting president does NOT do this...i've seen him on several occasions do his best to answer a question from an opposing viewpoint.

Answer 8

Ummm...you mean, kinda like Obama? You have nothing to cry about. Your POTUS does EXACTLY the same thing. Do some research and stop your spewing. Palin isn't president and doesn't have anything to do with government. Why the hell does it matter if she pre-screens questions, or not? On the other hand, that loser Obama should not be up there giving pre-canned questions to the American people...yet, here we are.

Answer 9

In Soviet Russia, questions screen YOU!

Answer 10

To weed out the radical whacked left-wing morons that only want to waste air time and express simplistic ideologies that have no founding and answer questions from people that want a real answer so they can make up thier own mind. Instead of believe every bit of liberal brainwashing crap notion that CNN spews

Answer 11

In case you haven't noticed, the liberal media has launched an all-out attack on Sarah palin, what would you do, nitwit?

Answer 12

Feel free to provide a source to your nonsense--I hadn't heard that. But...since you did take us down this little call yourself on the carpet road...Obama ring a bell? He won't be interviewed by anyone who doesn't agree with his Marxist agenda. And newsflash--he is the leader of the free world. How's that working for ya?

Answer 13

Easy one...She has only prescreened answers.....The woman knows nothing about the issues....NOTHING....The only thing rigorous on her schedule is the makeup...

Answer 14

WITH ALL THE ATTACKS YOU FAR LEFT LOONS HAVE MADE AGAINST HER, SHE DOESN;T TRUST YOU AND NEITHER WOULD I

Answer 15

same reason obama does

Answer 16

I think it's the same reason 0bama uses a teleprompter and says uh a lot when he doesn't.

Answer 17

Because she has their people get with her people and and then her people tell her what to answer!

Answer 18

NO



why?: Because she's not a smart person.
