Fox: Palin Restrictions Unprecedented

Let's see here. The most qualified person to ever run for VP also has the most restricted access in modern American history. John McCain says that Sarah Palin knows more about "energy" than anyone else in America. She's also very astute on foreign policy because Alaska is close to Russia. She's also a proven reformer during her tenure as Governor of the third smallest state in the Union because she took money from the feds directed for a Bridge to Nowhere and used it for other pet projects. We only know all this because John McCain has told us so. Asking questions about any of her detailed history that may qualify her to be VP is forbidden. Since becoming the VP hopeful, Sarah Palin has given one interview to ABC News, and one infomercial to Fox News. Not a single press conference and not a single question outside of Charlie Gibson, which was almost two weeks ago. The restriction to Sarah Palin, a person running for a public office, is so tight and guarded that even Fox News is calling it "unprecedented." You know it's bad when Fox calls out one of their own for evading even them.
"There's not once chance that Governor Palin would have to answer a question. ... They're eliminating even the chance of any kind of interaction with the candidate -- it's just unprecedented."
