Reporters banned from Palin meetings with UN members.

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, who has not held a press conference in nearly four weeks of campaigning, on Tuesday banned reporters from her first meetings with world leaders, allowing access only to photographers and a television crew.

CNN, which was providing the television coverage for news organizations, decided to pull its TV crew, effectively denying Palin the high visibility she had sought.

The campaign told the TV producer, print and wire reporters in the press pool that follows the Alaska governor that they would not be admitted with the photographers and camera crew taken in to photograph the meetings. At least two news organizations, including The Associated Press, objected and were told that the decision was not subject to discussion.

How much longer can this woman expect to avoid having to answer questions from REAL reporters? This is simply becoming ludicrous and pathetic.

She is expected to be just one 72 year old heart beat away from being the President of these United States and yet she is incapable of even standing up to questions from reporters?

I certainly hope the voters take notice of these manipulations and realize what it says about John McCain and his Vice Presidential choice Sarah Palin.
