Media Hates Palin: Just another reason to LOVE her
|
|
This is amazing, Reports are circulating that Dem operatives have released Gov. Palin’s social security number and that their goal is to push her off the ticket “by next week”.
Helping them is the media. One only has to look to one of the most popular magazines that targets women (owned by the same people who own Rolling Stone… LARGE contributors to Obama), US Magazine.
….
Notice the subtle blatant branding of Palin? What lies?!?!?!?
In a statement, Richard A. Viguerie, Chairman of ConservativeHQ.com said:
“A critical rule in politics is: Define or be defined. Fairly or unfairly, Dan Quayle’s image was set within days of his selection as a candidate for vice president, and, forever after, the media sought out evidence that fit in with that pre-conceived image.
“Liberal Democrats are working quickly to Quayle-ize her. They are downplaying her experience and expertise, and trying to define her as ‘just a little housewife from Alaska.’ And, with the help of their friends in the media, they will get away with it – if the Republicans let them.”
He is right
SW,
I know we gotta keep this up, but some days it does seem like this is old news. Does anyone who isn’t lying to themselves really believe there isn’t such a thing as media bias?
I try not to watch the network news, but in the last week I have heard two different morning media personalities offer editorial comments after segments where media bias was questioned, defending the media’s fairness. Both times Palin was the story.
The comments were kind of brash and definitely signaled a circling of the wagons. So much for we report, you decide. The networks and other media should really think about adopting this philosophy and forget where it originated.
We will start with he lying about opposition to the “bridge to nowhere”.
Here’s what she told the Anchorage Daily News on October 22, 2006, during the race for the governor’s seat (via Nexis):
5. Would you continue state funding for the proposed Knik Arm and Gravina Island bridges?
Yes. I would like to see Alaska’s infrastructure projects built sooner rather than later. The window is now–while our congressional delegation is in a strong position to assist.
Let’s move on to her stated opposition to earmarks. From the Juneau paper…

The money line in the article
The Palin administration has responded to this message by requesting 31 earmarks, down from 54 last year. Of these, 27 involve continuing or previous appropriations and four are new. The total dollar amount of these requests has been reduced from about $550 million in the previous year to just less than $200 million.
Further, the governor has insisted that each Alaska request must demonstrate an important federal purpose and strong public support.
I will leave it with these 2 for now. If not “lies”, enormous exaggerations or misrepresentations are being made!
Should be called “Them” magazine
I can compare the media’s attack on Palin only to a pack of scavengers- like starving coyotes circling around, trying to hamstring her. Too bad for them that she’s a healthy animal and they’re just going to get kicked in the head. It’s INSANE, the way they are looking for anything to discredit her or make her look bad. Democrats are actually attacking a working woman as being a bad mother? WHAT? Have they all gone nuts? It makes me feel embarrassed for them as they continue to pretend to be “unbiased”. I am independent and am leaning toward voting republican despite the nasty mudsling-fest I have observed in the past week…. in fact, to be honest, it makes me like her more, and I doubt I will take anything “reported” on her seriously in the future.
I was thrilled to hear the President of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW, a lifelong pro-choice Democrat, praise Sarah Palin when she introduced her at a campaign rally and say, “This is what a feminist looks like.” Sarah Palin is a credit to accomplished working moms everywhere. The Katie Couric interview was a travesty. Would Couric have asked Joe Biden what newspapers and magazines he reads to keep up with world events? The question was insulting and clearly a trap Palin was smart to avoid (whatever newspapers or magazines she mentioned would be held against her, either alienating her from her base or the liberal elitists). I am sick of the media’s monolithic campaign to elect Barack Obama and their vicious attempt to destroy Sarah Palin in the process. They hate her because her authenticity, charisma, Reaganesque ability to communicate, and yes, success in bringing billions into Alaska’s coffers while lowering taxes on its citizens represents a threat to Obama’s slick campaign built on empty promises and tired rhetoric. I’m a lifelong Democrat , but I’m voting for Palin and the guy running with her.
