Infuriated About Tough CNN Interview, McCain Cancels Larry King Appearance»

Yesterday, Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds appeared on CNN for an interview with Campbell Brown. Brown was tough on Bounds, refusing to let him spout typical campaign talking points. She repeatedly pressed him on Palin’s foreign policy experience and qualifications, asking him to name one decision that she made as commander-in-chief of the Alaskan National Guard. Bounds was unable to do so.

Today, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer revealed that because of that tough interview, the McCain campaign has canceled the senator’s appearance on Larry King Live tonight:

The McCain campaign said it believed that exchange was over the line and as a result the interview scheduled for Larry King Live with Sen. McCain was pulled. CNN does not believe that Campbell’s interview was over the line. We are committed to fair coverage of both sides of this historic election.

CNN also replayed the interview between Brown and Bounds.

The McCain campaign has repeatedly tried to intimidate the press. It is now angry about media coverage of Bristol Palin’s pregnancy, calling NBC’s reporting on it “irresponsible journalism.” Campaign staffers “even considered pulling out of one of the three presidential debates because it would be moderated by Tom Brokaw, a former NBC News anchorman.” When Newsweek wrote a cover story in May examining the hardball tactics conservatives might use in the general election, the McCain campaign “threatened to throw the magazine’s reporters off the campaign bus and airplane.”

This is the funniest thing I've read in a long time. :lol: Do they really think we're that stupid? Heck, even the Obama supporters I know concede that most of the media, including CNN, are shamelessly biased towards Obama. Only an idiot could see it any other way. I'm glad they're fighting back. Besides, how is this any different than the Democrats refusing to debate on Fox during the primaries? What a bunch of cowards!

Funny thing about you, Oldtimer - how you don't post a link or identify your 'source' when you get something from one of your far-left blogs. I guess you don't want us to know how you spend your days? I don't really blame you for that. :lol:

I think I found a word-for-word match, though. Even down to some of the emphasis that you used.

Since you like to get your news from blogs, here's a little more about the 'objectivity' of Campbell Brown:

I thought thats what the news was supposed to do- bring up the issues and ask questions about their stand....

I watched the interview and Campbell Brown never went overboard-- all she did was ask questions about the VP candidates readiness to serve-- and Tucker Bounds couldn't come up with any answer....He almost was as bad stumbling around and spinning it as the dummy that said she has strong foreign policy experience because her state is the closest to Russia :roll: :???:

And now its being reported that she may have never been out of the country except for her trip to Iraq/Afghanistan with a group of Governors- and may have just got a passport first time for that trip....

A question that popped into my mind when they reported her husbands previous DUI arrest- is would they allow him into Canada with his wife even if she was V.P., because a previous DUI is considered a criminal record that bars you from entry into Canada :???: ... I know several that can't reenter Canada to visit their Grandparents or relatives...

Actually Texan- heres the link I used:
