How Europe Sees the Candidates - Gerard Baker

[russetmantle]

Disclosure: I'm a Scot living in London.

I notice there was no mention of Palin. Palin scares the living bejesus out of pretty much all Europeans. I can't help but feel that there must have been dozens of female politicians that McCain could have chosen as running mate who would have been appropriate and competent, if he were trying to get the female vote. Unfortunately, he didn't, and it's obvious that Palin embodies the absolute worst stereotypes of America, as foreigners like me see it.

You don't get anything like this in American b/c of the liberal bias and the media blackout. You have to watch Fox news thank god for Rupert Murdoch.

Every time someone posts a comment in favor of Fox News, I think they are joking. It's that pathetic. Claiming free European media is biased while saying that Fox News is objective is even more pathetic.

Fox News is not objective but it's the only place where conservatives can get a fair shake.

[caliguy92]

I agree with everyone else, FOX news gives balance to a very liberal mass media...

Europe knows who will protect their interests.

You just don't get this much in the American press. Very interesting.

So laughable. McCain has been looking at Europe the last decades, yeah right. That's why he's still refering to Czechoslovakia, multiple times! And he think the prime-minister of Germany is Putin. What a biased poof.

I guess that this guys british accent is supposed to make him more intelligent. tries to say mccain is knowledgeable about foreign policy and bush has been right about the war in his second term very deceptive if you are not listening closely
