Palin pools media coverage of meetings with Kissinger and world leaders
Tuesday, 23 September 2008 14:25

But, today the Palin camp went to new lengths to control the media, 
which is covering the GOP Vice-Presidential nominee.

It was decided by the campaign that today’s meetings with Afghan 
President Hamid Karzai, Colombian president Alvaro Uribe, and Former 
Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger would be pooled. This means only 
one television network with their camera and producer, plus a print 
reporter, and wire reporters would be let in at the beginning of the 
meeting and then be ushered out before the leaders and Palin began 
talking. This is common practice in presidential campaigns, but this 
morning a little over one hour before the meetings would begin the pool 
network television producer and print poolers were told they were not 
allowed to enter the meetings.

  This means that the Palin camp has the benefit of pictures of her 
shaking hands with world leaders and have that video broadcast all over 
the world, but there would be no risk of her having to answer even one 
question from a reporter at the beginning of the meetings

TVNL Comment:  It is curious that FOX NEWS is reporting this 
manipulation of the media. Possibly, they are miffed at being left out 
of any direct questioning of Palin.

Feds Ask to Put Wolves Back on Endangered List
Tuesday, 23 September 2008 10:57

Federal wildlife officials have asked a judge to put gray wolves in the 
Northern Rockies back on the endangered species list _ a sharp reversal 
from the government's prior contention that the animals were thriving.

Attorneys for the Fish and Wildlife Service asked U.S. District Judge 
Donald Molloy in Missoula to vacate the agency's February finding that 
more than 1,400 wolves in the region no longer needed federal protection.

TVNL Comment:  Too bad this doesn't include the wolves Sara Palin likes 
to shoot for her helicopteer
