ABC didn't let Biden speak post-debate just because Sister Sarah was unavailable

[TeamJordan23]

This network's true colors show once again.

Sarah Palin, MIA

Amusing moment on CNN just now. Wolf Blitzer, coming out of a commercial:

"We've been getting some emails from views out there wondering why we spent some time interviewing Joe Biden, the Democratic vice presidential nominee and not Sarah Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee. We would have loved to interview--we'd still love to interview Sarah Palin. Unfortunately we asked, we didn't get that interview...We're hoping that Sarah Palin will join us at some point down the road."

I'm told that Biden appeared on every major network tonight except ABC (which only turned him down because Palin wasn't available, on an equal-time sort of basis).

It's pretty strange when a candidate can't trust his own running mate to be out there spinning on his behalf.

And it's funny that a lot of McCain supporters seem to think that's about media bias and not the fact that Palin is in lockdown somewhere.

1. ABC, The Ass-Backward Channel

You can't expect any better from them.

2. The networks are actually locked into rules that Cable isn't, not defending and not that it probably

mattered, But as OUR airwaves they are using they are stuck with a special set of rules.

6. Let's face it, the media are treating Biden like he's contagious!

If it weren't for C-Span, DU, or YouTube, you wouldn't know the man exists!

talk to you now. Stay tuned for further developments.
