Palin Challenges WaPo ‘Wusses’ to Go After Obama Like They Did Nixon
Mediaite ^ | July 27, 2014 | Josh Feldman

Sarah Palin took to Facebook today to rail against The Washington Post for not covering President Obama‘s scandals with the same journalistic tenacity as they did with Richard Nixon and the Watergate scandal all those many years ago. Palin called them all “a bunch of wusses” for not being the least bit interested in challenging this president.

Palin writes, “The public knows of our current president’s incompetence, denials, and cover-ups, but would be well served if we could count on your resources to dig deep for truth in all matters pertaining to Team Obama.”

She contrasts how the Post aggressively kept the pressure on the Nixon White House with how they’re “virtually ignored” what she frames as Obama’s equivalent of the 18.5 missing minutes: “1.2 million minutes of deleted communications” by the IRS.

Palin takes note of how the president has committed “impeachable offenses” (impeachment, of course, is a cause Palin has aligned herself with in recent weeks), and challenges the Post to show some integrity.

I challenge you to lift a finger and help protect democracy, allow justice for all, and ensure domestic tranquility by doing your job reporting current corrupt events fairly. If not, you prove yourselves incompetent and in bed with Obama, not caring one iota about media integrity.

Those running the Washington Post’s show now, compared to those during the Nixon era, are too afraid of being uninvited to the permanent political class’ cocktail parties and petty gossip fests, making you all a bunch of wusses. I challenge you to get to work.

Palin actually got called out in the Post recently when religion columnist Sally Quinn said that Palin is “the epitome of self-centerednewss” and suggested “a long, silent retreat for her.”

Sarah Palin – former governor of Alaska, erstwhile candidate for VP of the U.S. and polarizing public figure – has unveiled a new subscription-based Internet network that promises direct access to her and her supporters.

The Sarah Palin Channel, which costs $9.95 per month or $99.95 for a one-year subscription, will feature her commentary on “important issues facing the nation,” as well as behind-the-scenes look into her personal life as “mother, grandmother, wife and neighbor.” Palin serves as executive editor, overseeing all content posted to the channel.

“I want to talk directly to you on our channel, on my terms — and no need to please the powers that be,” said Palin, who is also a Fox News contributor, in a video announcing the channel. “Together, we’ll go beyond the sound bites and cut through the media’s politically correct filter.”

Palin created the channel with Tapp, the online-video venture formed by Jeff Gaspin, former chairman of NBCUniversal Television, and Jon Klein, former president of CNN U.S.

Channel members will have the ability to post their own videos to the Sarah Palin Channel, submit questions to her and participate in online video chats with her and other subscribers. Active U.S. military members can subscribe free of charge, according to TAPP

You’re welcome!

Back to the subject of this thread.

When the news media decided to choose sides and refuse to do investigative reporting on one political party, we end up with the modern day Democrat party immersed in deceit and corruption. Proper reporting would have prevented so many of our nation’s current problems.

It is necessary that an unbiased press is one of the cornerstones to ensuring our Republic remains a Republic. The press has lost their way and it is time for the press to return to the intent of the Founders. They (the press) maybe will not and the press has been guilty since the time of Thomas Jefferson in not reporting the truth or reporting half truths. To ensure Freedom for themselves (the press) and their children then it has become a necessity they return to reporting what is known and not participating in cover ups for those they support. To not return to the intent of the Founders is to guarantee the press’s demise, their children's demise and America's demise. Don't know, here at my local, if the press is up to the task but they had best be for soon they shall pass into oblivion without any excuses that will suffice for their lack of truth. God hates liars and a majority of the American public does also.

So will Fox can her since technically she is now a “competitor”? Is this why Beck doesn’t mention her or her efforts anymore? hmmm....

“Eh, they may be wusses, but the reason they don’t go after Obama is because they support his policies.”

Absolutely correct.

Well, while our MSM has let us down, it becomes more important for the alternative press, such as Sarah’s channel here, to pick up the slack.

Thank You once more for the heads up. I didn’t have a clue. Now once Sarah is up and going strong the clues will be baskets upon baskets filling warehouses.

See post #2; it was shortened for “anti-Christ”.

Never happen. US TV and print media are a propaganda arm of the Democratic Party.

Beck has devolved into a leftist freak - can’t stand to listen to him anymore.

Good question re: FOX - guess we’ll see. I wouldn’t be surprised if Rupert ends their contract.

I absolutely love Sarah and know she would be a great President in the Reagan mold. But I highly doubt she will ever run for office again.

Obama is an antichrist. Whether he is “The One” of whom the prophets of old spoke of, we cannot yet know, but he is most definitely an antichrist, and if he is not then he is the closest One yet to “The One” who is still to come.

Rumor has it, he “identifies as black” as well, which makes it political impossible to hold him to account.
