Sarah Palin: FOX next, w/ Sean Hannity

Wow. I bet she is really going to get some tough ones on Fox with Hannity. The most pro-conservative biased show on TV. Don't take too many risks McCain's campaign.

That will be a love fest. The "great" Americans who hate Americans.

Good for Hannity. This ought to put the liberal MSM in a snit and have them spewing. Chris Matthews is probably spitting all over himself. I think this is pretty funny.

Silva,

You are the most biased reporter at the Trib. I'm glad they took down your piece last night (before the interview - where did you get that talking point?) where you declared Palin was a warmonger without any context because she said in her interview with Gibson that countries in NATO need to be defended.

If you can't be even-handed, get another job.

Ummm Hanity is not a journalist. He is a right wing opinionist. Sitting down with him is not an "interview" so much as it is a lets bash the other side and talk about how much we agree with each other session.

Interesting that they were smart enough not to give the first interview to FOX, but to the "liberal mainstream media."

No doubt, a calculated move to woo Independent voters and appear to be moderate.

She has clearly been coached to go from Eliza Doolittle to a moderate conservative, though we all recognize that as a Trojan Horse.

The MSN has been asking Obama soft ball questions for 19 months. And, after ducking Bill O'Rielly for a year, Obama finally went on and had a melt down when questioned about the Surge.

Palin spent 2 days answering Gibson's questions after being nominated only 2 weeks ago...

Has Obama been on with Hannity yet?...When hell freezes over!

It will be good to see an interview with a person of substance. Although she may not be an expert on everthing, she appears to be a fast learner with guts, as opposed to the talk alot, say nothing Obama.

Why do you refer to Palin as the Republican nominee for president in the first paragragh of this story? WOW

A little slip of the pen there - I believe she's running for vice-president - not president.

I think it is very funny to hear the liberals crying about a "friendly" interview. What wave do they think Obama has been riding for months!

wow. are people really this stupid? absolutely amazing ...

Has Obama been on with Hannity yet?...When hell freezes over!

You got that right, bucko.

I might just watch Palin's Fox News gig just to watch all the fawning, drooling and slobbering. On the other hand, I'd hate to spoil my appetite for dinner.

To be clear for all the people who will inevitably applaud this... Fox News' own PR people don't consider Hannity and O'Reilly "journalists." They're "commentators," in Fox PR parlance. When they try to defend the channel's journalistic integrity, the Fox defenders point to Brit Hume and Chris Wallace. This Hannity interview is the equivalent of Obama sitting down with Keith Olberman-- entertaining to the base, but completely useless if you want to learn anything about the candidate.

Wow. An informercial. Is she scheduled for Rush Limbaugh yet?

Oh you mean that Hannity might treat Gov. Palin the way Obama has been treated during his whole campaign. Good for Hannity, I will be watching. I am tired of the Media piranha with their condescending tone and attitude towards Gov. Palin. At least Palin can make a decision, unlike the chameleon that McCain is running against. She has more experience to be the VP than Obama has to be the VP, much less our president.

This will definately be slow-pitch underhand stuff. Fortunately no one watches the show.

Everyone knows FOX is the official media campaign of all right wing extremists, in other words, all republican campaigns. Everyone knows FOX is the official media campaign for Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-McCain-Palin, the first 5-man team running for President. Everyone knows all of the other networks are completely balanced, and unbiased, which explains why the 5-Texan Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld-McCain-Palin picked FOX. They would be waterboarded on any other channel. Good thing NBC, MSNBC, CNN, Letterman, Leno, are such unbiased reporting channels that we have a completely balanced presidential campaign, if we were to just exclude FOX News, which is also owned by the John Birch Society.

At least Hannity will be fair, unlike the Libtard Press.

I AM DYING LAUGHING!!!!! Where are they going to shoot it - in the hot tub??? LOL!!!!!!

Here's another suggestion, why don't they just let McCane do the interview!!!!

Has McCain been on Olbermann? Of course not. No honor or dignity left of this once admirable, but now disgusting candidate.

If Hannity weren't such a eunuch, he'd be slobbering all over Sarah Palin. Instead, he'll just ask her such hardball questions as, "Do you think it will snow in Alaska this winter?"

Wow - a network that will only ask stupid questions and answer them for her. Will she have to sit on their laps for this ventriloquist act???

Fox should interview Palin while she is directly connected to the Holy Spirit via talking in tongues.

Charlie: What should we do with Iran?

Palin: HardashadrakaBidaBO.

Charlie: McCain was for amnesty for illegals. Are you more conservative?

Palin: Greasawetabackahumpajumpabeana.

Charlie: Should we give civil rights to sodomites?

Palin: Buggermuggerslugger.

Charlie: Should a black be president?
.
Palin: Spadernuggarpicaniner

Anne: Oh yeah...she makes decisions, alright...if your daughter is an incest victin...tough- no abortion...defenseless animals are run down from the air and shot...I'll bet you think that's hunkey dorey, right??? And with her bizzare religious beliefs she sounds almost like another Jim Jones to me!!!! (Alaska as the refuge during the last days, aka the Rapture!!!) Jonestown was THEIR refuge!!!

Begging the pardon of my Democrat friends in high huffy dudgeon here, but Gov. Palin appearing with Sean Hannity is basically equivalent to Sen. Obama appearing on MSNBC or CNN with Chris Matthews, Anderson Cooper or any number of similarly receptively-liberal hosts.

hannity and all the rest are not journalists, pundits or experts. they are operatives. its no surprise that she would appear here.

for anyone who would dare defend hannity, i'd like to remind you about one of his shows, where the entire premise was "america is the single greatest nation god gave man on the face of the earth." that is NOT a joke, it is an exact quote. he's a fool.

It is an insult as well as a testament to American standards of leadership that she was even chosen. With so little time left before the election, it appears this umpteenth Republicrook snowjob may just have worked again.

Wow - all of you liberals act like Obama the Community Organizer hasn't gotten easy interviews for 19 months. I elect myself to run for president! I am over 36, and yes, I know how to make decisions. I run several companies, and I have to live and die with those decisions. I pronounce that I am more qualified than Obama.

No less than Mark Penn, the Clinton campaign manager, said today the media are being extremely unfair to Palin. He said the fact they are going through her expense accounts and other records and not Obama nor Biden's flags their bias and is destroying media credibility with their readers and viewers. Some in the media have been outright vicious with Palin. Why would she grant interviews to such venomous news people who regard Palin as their enemy?

The Great American can continue McCain's lie that Palin never sought an earmark! What a bunch of crap. I haven't seen a campaign this shameless since Richard Nixon said he had a plan to end the war in 1968 and then went on to kill another 20,000 U.S. service personnel. And this tongue-speaking automaton Sarah Palin flippantly says "perhaps" we might have to go to war with Russia...incredible.

Tough tough interview for Palin; about as tough as Donnie Osmond interviewing his sister Marie. (Except Donnie is a nice guy. Hannity is a snake.)

Obam is runing scared on interviews, ever time he is interviewed his rating drops-

What else is new? He is just another op-ed turned whore for the conservatives. whiteagle38

They don't have hurricanes in Alaska, do they? Wish we had more wells pumping up there right now and not down there in the gulf. We go through this crap every year. Time to drill somewhere else.

I love Hannity. He is a straight talker and tells it like it is.

COLMES on the other had is a complete boob. He made the comment that Palin owes this opportunity all to HILLARY, but then in the same breath says that if Palin wins this will be an opportunity only for the REPUBLICAN WOMEN ha ha. If she gets in there it will have completely changed the talk of whether a viable female candidate can make it to such a level.....that effects EVERY WOMAN.

To be clear for all the people who will inevitably applaud this... Fox News' own PR people don't consider Hannity and O'Reilly "journalists." They're "commentators," in Fox PR parlance..... This Hannity interview is the equivalent of Obama sitting down with Keith Olberman--

Uh, I don't think so Stevie, you see, when Obama goes on Kieth, or ELLEN, or when some of his late night shills interview him, he's with his loyal sheep. The interview with OReilly is a start that I thoroughly enjoyed to some balance to all the many many many MEDIA OBAMA SHILL puff piece interviews he's done ha.

If a guest goes on FOX to be interviewed by Hannity they also get to confront the other half of the show the strikingly LIBERAL COLMES, it's called balance sweet pea, something your man avoids like the plague ha ha ha.

Obama Puppet

I'm a little puppet pull my strings. Move my mouth and make me sing.
I'll make changes everyday, as long as I get my government pay.

Oprah helps me with the press, then she gives me a hug an kiss. She's got strings on Damon to, now he's a liberal thru and thru.

We're so happy liberals all, we think we're going to the liberals Ball. O dear Oprah pull my strings, watch me dance and watch me sing.

FIRST PARAGRAPH OF THIS ARTICLE:

Yes, I didn't realize you had switched Palin for McCain as the Presidential Nominee!

Freudian Slip I guess. Trying to divert attention from McCain with Palin. Everytime someone criticizes Palin (even when it isn't about experience) the Right compare her to Obama and not Biden????? Why do they do that???? To make Americans think that it is a fight against Obama/Palin not Obama/McCain. Its like the RNC this year....they always hide Cheney down in the basement like the crazy uncle...where was he??? He didn't even get the Speech by Screen!!

Palin on Hannity...Geez! I heard they are going to go to a park, lay out a blanket, and chat over a really nicely prepared picnic.

For all the people saying Obama has had softball interviews in the past 19 months, you're forgetting that we had those 19 months for him to do every type of interview. He had softball interviews and he had hard-hitting, in-depth interviews. But we got to see all sides because we had plenty of time. We have less than 2 months to see Palin from all sides and a Sean Hannity interview isn't doing this country any favors. If they wanted a Fox interview, they should have had an actual "journalist" conducting it. If we had more time with her before the election, I'd say go ahead and appear on Hannity. But that's a novelty "interview" and we simply don't have enough time.

If a guest goes on FOX to be interviewed by Hannity they also get to confront the other half of the show the strikingly LIBERAL COLMES, it's called balance sweet pea, something your man avoids like the plague ha ha ha.

Sarah Palin is the freshest thing in government these days. She may not have done every single thing right, but she has more integrity than 95% of those in congress, Obama and Biden included at the top of the list. Sarah Palin did give the ABC-Obama Campaign Headquarters her first interview after only 2 weeks into her run as vice-president of which she was attacked and treated disrespectful. Obama was on the campaign trail for 19 months before he ever got a tough interview and that was this week with Bill O'Riley. You liberals are so far out in left field that you don't even know how ignorant you sound when you don't get your way and you open your mounts.

I did not watch the presidental campaign until Sarah Palin came on the scene. John McCain showed his strength and political insite when he chose Sarah McCain. Way to go, Senator McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hannity looked like a dewy-eyed twelve year old in love with his math teacher as he lobbed softball after softball and allowed Ms. Palin to get away without answering questions. The high point was the discusssion regarding no income and no sales tax in Alaska - at which she pointed out "some communties" have sales tax. Yes, like Wasilla where she raised sales taxs to support her fiscal irresponsibilty. Then Sean waxed on about Alaskans getting a check each year and, "Thanks to you they're getting another $1200 this year." Of ourse our fawning school boy did not point out that the money came from a windfall profits tax Palin stuck on the oil companies and that because of that we are ALL paying higher gas prices.

Unfortunately, Hannity lied to conservatives hungry to know what Palin's positions are on illegal immigration and particularly on Amnesty. He "softballed" it. He PROTECTED her, pure and simple. I lost all respect I had for the man. In doing so, sadly, it didn't give us the answer to the most important issue to conservatives. 40 to 50 million illegals, 10,000 illegals breaking into the U.S. every 24 hours, 25 Americans being killed or murdered every 24 hours by illegals...I think we deserve to know where she stands on Amnesty and birthright citizenship. We KNOW where Juan McCamnesty stands!

Sean Hannity salivating over Sarah Palin has turned me off and I won't be watching him anymore. Chris Wallace also surprised me with his rendition of "Love is a Many Splendored Thing." while interviewing the :"moose lady." They were embarrassing and silly and should be held to the fire by their wives. Sarah Palin has NO credibility and should run for PTO President. Get Real!!!
