The last time we checked in with Campbell Brown she was grilling some poor second level McCain campaign mouth piece over the Alaskan National Guard. It seemed like yet another effort by the media to diminish Sarah Palin before she even had a chance to make her Convention speech.
The media has never been this tough with Barack Obama, who has even less experience than Palin and no executive experience.
And now here comes Palin again, this time on a high horse, claiming that the McCain campaign is "sexist" and "chauvinistic" for not allowing Sarah Palin to "face down those pesky reporters." You can read Brown's entire "rant" here.
I think the McCain campaign has seen the unfair treatment that Palin has had to endure, including attacks on her pregnant daughter and her Down Syndrome baby, and ARE trying to protect her from them.
If these were normal questions and normal times, Campbell would be right. But the reporters have not just been inquisitive, they have been vicious. They have treated Palin different than any other candidate and to now call the people who are trying to protect her sexist is hypocritical.
And where is it written that one must travel through a media gauntlet to seek higher office? Who is Campbell Brown and the rest of the Media Aristocracy to lay claim to being the ultimate test to lead? It is self-righteous, arrogance from a media that has lost touch and lost the faith of the American people.
Ronald Reagan had the ability to speak over the clamoring media buffoons and speak directly to the American people. When Sarah Palin gave her speech at the Convention she showed that she has that same ability.
The Vice Presidential debate is next week. She will have that ability once again to speak without a directly to the voters without the oily filter of cable news bias.
I have a feeling that once again she will pleasantly surprise us all.
