The interview that Chris Wallace had on Fixed News Sunday, was such a one sided piece that Wallace should have been wearing a miners light since he was so far up Limbaugh's behind. It was disgraceful.
Though I guess that since Fixed is the mouthpiece of the right..........go figure.

Chris Wallace was interviewing one person -- Rush Limbaugh. Where would you like another side?
At least Chris hasn't had "chills" running up his legs.

My god. I laugh!!!!!!!
When 60 minutes interviews only the DL, I guess that's disgraceful. When NBC interviews only the DL, I guess that's disgraceful.
Oh adding, more Chris Matthews at lib MSNBC says, " I want to do everything I can to make this thing work, this new presidency work,".
More at Newsbusters here LOL, disgraceful!!! Now there's a man so far up the DL's @#$@@#

I find the interviews I like best are where the questioner asks questions and lets the person answer witht hteir own opinions. That way I can really see who the person is- let them speak for themselves to good questions. Wallace got a lot of good info from Rush- I listen to Rush all the time but I have never heard him say some of the things he said.
I hate gotcha interviews whether they are conducted by Katie Couric or SEan Hannity. Wallace is pretty much the same with all his interviews, |

So you want people or politicians to go on t.v in the pretense of an interview and just give their spin and talking points? Don't you want to dig deeper and have someone ask some tough questions? To really get beyond a politician's sound bites?
And if asking what a persons reads on a regular basis or asking them to explain a NOTORIOUS comment (i.e. you can see Russia from Alaska!) is seen as a gotcha interview then you and I have a very different expectation of what journalism really is. |

Yes, Tina Fey should explain that comment!

Actually stick with the program Erika, Palin did say you can see Russia from Alaska. Would you like a link or two to the video?
Tina Fey said the part about seeing it from her house.
Riley's statement was perfectly accurate.

Yeah, Palin did say it. Fey twisted it around into a comedic skit that became notorious.
However, I think we need to start teaching geography in schools again if people honestly believe there's anything notorious about the original comment. Because most people who've studied the subject know that there are places in Alaska where one can see Russia and simply see it as the truth.
So, if that's a measure of journalistic questioning, I'm kind of at a loss. Aren't the journalists supposed to know what the heck they're talking about, too?

having lived in alaska and my husband being from there, we both know that if you are on shemya you CAN see russia on a clear day.
they owned property on kodiak island and travelled extensively, so when he heard this he said, oh yeah, i know what she's talking about.
to us it was no big deal....but to southerners (that's what we called the lower states), it sure was a big deal..

That wasn't an interview that was a Fixed sponsored support of Rush as the defacto head of the republican party. No tough questions and few follow up questions that pressed him about anything.

As to the Palin comment about Russia- I don't know if you can see Russia from Alaska or not but I took the comment to mean that they are so close to Russia geographically that they had better not let their guard down. |

And if Palin had been able to explain how being able to see Russia from the very tip of Alaska had given her any foreign policy expertise it wouldn't be a big deal. But she couldn't and she (and the comment) turned into a very funny joke.
Blaming Tina Fey and SNL for Palin's foot in the mouth comment is just silly. |

You libs are fixated on a statement Fey made when the DL makes fauxpas' that you ignore like there were 57 states and had to be corrected by Stephanoplos when he said his muslim faith.
Speaking of inexperience, the DL's lack of foreign policy expertise is glaring, dithering on A/stan while soldiers are dying.

As opposed to Bush, who sent them all the help in Afghanistan they asked for.... oh no, wait, he didn't quite get around to it.
And again, it was a statement Palin made, which was meaningless. If Putin were to fly from Moscow over the Pole, he would not go anywhere near AK. Then there were those other hard questions, like "what do you read?"

Bev,
The point is that Palin tried to use the fact that you can see Russia from a tiny island as proof of her foreign policy experience. Can you please tell me how gives Palin insight into the Kremlin? Or perhaps since we are talking Geography let's talk about exactly how far it is from Anchorage to Moscow. It is 4365 miles. No journalist was disputing Alaska's proximity to Russia, so I really don't know where you are trying to go with that point.
Palin made the laughable comment and then had 3 weeks to correct her statement. And what did she come up with in all that time?
“That Alaska has a very narrow maritime border between a foreign country, Russia, and on our other side, the land — boundary that we have with – Canada. . . . It — it’s funny that a comment like that was — kind of made to — cari — I don’t know, you know?”
There are two certainties about this situation. One is that yes, you can see Russia from a tiny island in Alaska. Two, Palin does not have and never will have, the skills required to succeed in politics no matter how much social consertatives love her. |

Lynn, that makes no sense. How can an interview ask a question that doesn't allow for spin?? Do you have an example of such a question? A good policitian can always spin, even if they are being asked about the weather. People have free will and can answer a question in any way they choose, an interview cannot prevent that.
You need to stop blaming Katie Couric just because Palin gave a bad interview. As you can see from my quote above Palin had ample time to come up with a better answer to her claiming Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience but she didn't. Not Couric's fault. |

Bush met w/his Generals and didn't wait months to like the DL.

Actually, I did. YAWN. I find it dang funny you fixiate on Fey's quote yet its your guy who has zero foreign policy expertise and has plenty of foot in mouth comments. Too bad Couric didn't grill the DL like she did Palin.
