Angle: Meet The Press And This Week Won’t Let Me Ask Viewers For Money

NV-SEN candidate Sharron Angle (R)

In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody, Sharron Angle explained why she has been appearing for interviews almost entirely with conservative media outlets, instead of more neutral venues: She’s avoiding places that won’t let her plug for money.

David Brody: Not to harp on the point but when you’re on Fox News or talking to more conservative outlets but maybe not going on Meet the Press or a This Week, those type of news shows, then the perception and the narrative starts to be like you are avoiding those mainstream media outlets.

Sharron Angle: Well, in that audience will they let me say I need $25 dollars from a million people go to Sharron Angle.com send money? Will they let me say that? Will I get a bump on my website and you can watch whenever I go on to a show like that we get an immediate bump. You can see the little spinners. People say ‘Oh, I heard that. I am going and I’m going to help Sharron out because they realize this is a national effort and that I need people from all around the nation. They may not be able to vote for me but they can certainly help.”

The TPM Poll Average gives Angle a lead of 45.9%-41.7% in the Nevada Senate race against Harry Reid.
