Reporter's Notebook: Miguel Contreras

Sarah Palin to be interviewed by ABC News anchor Charles Gibson later this week

Sarah Palin to be interviewed by ABC News anchor Charles Gibson later this week, according to the John McCain's campaign advisors.

 

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and Republican vice presidential candidate will be granting her first mainstream public interview.  However, she is still off-limits to grant any press interviews.

The selection of ABC News anchor Charles Gibson by the McCain's camp to interview Palin is already being questioned.  After all, Gibson is the co-moderator when McCain and Barack Obama were interviewed.  

Gibson showed bias toward Obama during the debate when he questioned Obama about his alleged links to terrorist organizations and Muslim background.

If the average American people expect Sarah Paulin, the self-proclaimed true Christian to talk about the real changes we need....well I am sorry to say that everything she articulates will be coming from a "script" - however, since she is described as a "floating butterfly who stings like a bee," she may slip and say something stupid and off-the wall and whatever she delivers will be coming from a mouth that resembles an open grave.

The Opinion of One Alaskan on Sarah Palin..plus two video clips

Submitted September 15, 2008 - 1:11 am by Miguel Contreras

I read the following comments by one brave Alaskan about Sarah Palin in response to a particular news story by ABC News.  I have also inlcuded two video clips from members of the Alaska Independence Party (Palin's former political party). Here are the two comments and video clips:

Please investigate the reports of Palin's position on Native peoples' sovereignty and their rights to hunting and fishing, as well as her own interests in commercial fisheries, sports hunting and the aerial killing for bounty of Alaskan wolves. Tona Wanagi

Truth......Does it even exist in our political world today? How many are concerned about Palin's position on Native Alaskans or even know what it is? Did you know she is trying to refuse Native people the right to subsistence hunting and fishing? Did you know that for many Native families their game and fish are the only means of survival as well as their livelihood for trade goods and barter? Did you know she is attempting to take away their sovereignty as a Native tribal nation so that her constituents can reap the benefits of sports game hunting, the aerial killing and $150 bounty of wolves, and opening up of Native waters and lands for commercial fisheries and drilling for oil in wildlife refuges, many that are located on Native lands? As a Native American myself, it is offensive to me that these things are not even addressed by the media. Is it because us Indians are not important enough to be considered an endangered species? Well, we are just as endangered as the Polar Bears that Palin is so opposed to protecting. Does it matter to anyone that we have people whose sole platform is fight, fight, fight, or drill, drill, drill? Isn't there something contrary to the spirit of faith in speaking of God but yet advocating for war? Seems to me there is something about a "golden rule" that Americans were happy to uphold in another day and age. Is it gone from America, with only the political rhetoric and self-serving agendas remaining? Truth. When will we hold these so-called leaders accountable for their lies and actions? When will the media report the truth? The truth that during both conventions, there were demonstrators from various interest groups legally protesting outside. And at the Republican convention, "Bushvilles" set up by representatives for poverty were attacked by the police, the water sprinklers turned on in the middle of the night, the police threatening the children of protestors with k-9s, reporters beaten? Have you heard this truth? Tona Wanagi
