Time to Call Out the Jackals In the Lamestream. Again.
A quick behind the scenes look at how disingenuous the media is; a reminder why Americans distrust them.
Willow and I were trapped today for hours at the Des Moines airport, along with what seemed the majority of the international media trying to fly out from last night's Iowa caucus. Having nothing else to do, the cream of the crop in the press corps decided it would be fun to do their thing and hassle... while we were walking in, checking in, through TSA, at all the gate changes, etc. All the while shouting out questions from near and afar, while we remained polite to the jackals so as to be less disruptive around the great people who were there with more important things to do than follow us into the bathroom with their cellphone cameras. Then, as per usual, the more unprofessional ones REALLY did their thing in editing my comments to fit their own narrow headlines.
(Let me point out, there were two actually WONDERFUL media leaders I ran into there - thank you radio host Laura Ingraham for being the sharpest, most refreshing visit today! And CBN's awesome David Brody - thank you for "rescuing" us out of one of the situations!)
Here are four real headlines from today's airport experience - just a quick example of the media herd mentality. This doesn't illustrate wholly their pathetic inconsistencies and inaccuracies whilst taking out of context my answers to their drive-by questions, but it gives you an idea... especially of the herd's inconsistent interpretations and coverage of the same answers they all heard. Then below, you'll find my own headline setting the record straight:
"Palin: Trump Should Have Shown More Of His 'Conservative Side'"
"Sarah Palin Silent On Trump Loss As She Leaves Des Moines"
"Palin Sticks By Trump as Sixth Graders Seek Answers"
"Palin Gears Up for SC Campaigning For Trump"
So media which is it?
Here's the real headline:
"Media Lies; Trump & Palin Strongest of Allies For America. Really - Get a Life, Guys!"
Sarah knows how the media hatred is strong and how the media lies more than anyone and we still get people even on here who seem to think the media tells the truth. Of course when the media fits their narrative.
Perfectly Said Manc
I cannot believe that the powers that be allowed YOU to join in any thread here. Your vile ‘opus’ was disgusting. Thought it WAS a true reflection of your juvenile feeling on adult issues.
Try and be a bit more diplomatic lu lu, it is YOU that burned bridges, not Sarah. You do realize she is free to join whoever she wishes in her desire to turn this ship around.
I’ll be watching your comments, interested to see how you defend Rubio, who they are going to push forward. Will you defend him against the EXACT same attacks that dog Teddy?
Or, will you cheer him on, because as I’ve said, amnesty/shamnesty - no biggy to you guys. The pastor has spoken and we must simply all hail the wisdom of Teddy :)
Here’s another going on right now on Glen Beck—he’s saying that Ben Carson could have bought a suit and didn’t need to go home. So it sounded like he was quitting the race!! This guy is a total shill for Teddy the Cruzer. Sick.Now he’s assassinating Carson’s character.
Anyone that picks on Ben Carson is a true idiot. He’s the only “nice candidate” we have! To pick con him is borderline psychotic.That’s Beck.
Throwing Sarah under the bus after all the help she has given our candidates is really stupid!You gotta be stuck on stupid to go after PALIN.
I agree. But she dissed their boy so she must suffer.
Sorry Sarah. I love you but your 15 minutes are up. I get that you believe that a populist Republican need win the White House to right things, but at what cost?
Doesn’t sound like that was what she was doing to me. A private citizen, flying with her daughter, is not fair game. Question her when she grants an interview, please.
Somehow it seems like mylife is begging for attention.
Applies to certain posters in Free Republic as well, doesn't it?
Welcome back, libbylu! Are you going to behave yourself this time?
Palin did make a mistake when she endorsed a Canadian for a US Senate seat in Texas...
Yes she did and I believe unaware. I believe that has a lot to do with her current decision.
If I held a rally for the Pope of Conservatism in the biggest stadium in America, how many would make the trip over there? How many would wait hours in line just to kiss that papal ring?
Crickets . . . .
Now then, that we have got that idea out of the way, why are people attacking Sarah Palin for supporting someone who might make that trip? The Palin and the Trump families might all go because that is how deeply they feel about conservative values that have made America that “shining city on the hill.”
I am sure President Ronald Reagan is up there smiling down on Donald Trump and Governor Sarah Palin for being the torch bearers for America’s future. President Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump and Governor Sarah Palin all made that choice, having seen the light on their own; without having it fed to them. They have all have chose to follow another course. That “government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except the sovereign people, is still the newest and the most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man.” and who say, “Well I’d like to suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There’s only an up or down: [up] man’s old-old-aged dream, the ultimate in individual freedom consistent with law and order, or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. And regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would trade our freedom for security have embarked on this downward course.”
Damn sonny, I thought you croaked your self out the other night?
