Are you serious? "What newspapers do you read?" is a hostile question? In politics, that's as soft as it gets. And she flubbed it.

SNL's Democratic Debate: Obama vs. Clinton | Product Reviews and Buying Guides from OpTempo
Even Saturday Night Live realized that Obama was getting easy questions compared to his competition.

You found that but we're still waiting for some difficult questions. I'm sure you didn't notice but the article is dated March 2008. When did Palin come onto the scene?

I posted it as an example of how favorable the questions were for Obama compared to whomever he was up against in the press. Supporters of Hillary were practically screaming about how easy the press was on him compared to how they treated her. They did the same thing to McCain/Palin that they did to Hillary.

Did you read the rest of the paragraph or just the part showing some kind of point.

In other words, that's the way it is, deal with it, life's a beach. Your point, what there is of one, is talking about Clinton. This string is about Palin. There is plenty of input to this string showing Palin being asked questions, none were complicated or out of the realm of reasonable or trick questions.

We're STILL waiting for the unusual or unfavorable questions asked of Sarah Palin, NOT Clinton.

Be careful how you answer, it's a trick question.

You're citing a comedy skit about the Hillary/Obama debate to argue that Palin was facing hostile questions?

You mean "all of them" isn't a good answer? Quit being so hostile!

ITA nothing difficult, tricky or unreasonable in asking this question. She just could not answer.
