ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Republicans at the RNC have launched a full scale attack against the media with nearly every speaker Wednesday day night throwing darts.
Members of the McCain-Palin campaign even held a press conference to admonish the media.
"The Republican Party will not stand by while Sarah Palin is subjected to sexist attacks," said Carly Fiorina, a senior McCain advisor.
During her primetime speech, Palin herself went on offense.
"But here's a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I'm not going to Washington to seek their good opinion. I'm going to Washington to serve the people of this country," Palin said.
Members of the conservative media say republicans are right to be frustrated with the coverage.
The highlight of Wednesday night at the convention was the Governor Palin’s speech. She not only took on the Obama campaign, she also went on the offensive against the media, which has become something of a common theme here at the Republican National Convention. Capital Tonight's Erin Billups joins us live now with a closer look at how members of the national media feel about the accusations.
"Why shouldn't they point at MSNBC, which, by the way, is right next to Al Jezeera, I'm not sure there's much of a partition between the two," said Lars Larson, a Westwood One radio host.
Larson says mainstream media has gone too far with its coverage of Palin.
"It's a little bit of a stretch to say your ability to control your teenage daughter's sexual behavior in her late teens when she's a few months from becoming an adult is a way of figure out whether she'd make a good vice president?" Larson said.
While other journalists say Palin's fair game, saying it was the McCain camp that initially released information about Palin's family.
"The media is not being biased, the media is being diligent. This is someone who aspires to be the second most powerful person in the country, a very important leader in the world. The American people need to know who is this person?" said Washington Post Editorial Writer Jonathan Capehart.
And while things continue to get heated in the debate of what's fair coverage, several say the media jabs are just a part of the political game.
"With the base of the Republican Party it can prove successful to constantly be going after the media saying that they're out of touch with most Americans and at times it can work and we'll see if going forward if this will last over the next eight weeks," said Politico Media reporter Michael Calderone.
