CBS Says Palin Popular 'Despite Latest News,' But Not One Substantive Issue Discussed

This is just the sort of bias against Sarah Palin and her family that is de rigeur in the Old Media. CBS seemed taken aback in an April 6 report that Governor Sarah Palin could possibly still be relatively popular "despite the negative news" that she has been confronted with of late. But all the "negative news" that CBS is so sure should torpedo Palin is little else but the soap opera of family struggles, none of it is based on any substantive issue that is a result of her actual efforts in office. It appears as if CBS wants to see Palin destroyed because some of her extended family have seen troubled times of late and not on the actual work she's done as governor.

Is CBS really that empty of substance that they'd ignore the real and important issues of Palin's governing and focus only on Bristol boyfriend Levi's snotty appearance on some meaningless TV gossip show as a way to rate the governor's work as chief executive of the state of Alaska? Can they not separate the actual work of a governor from the side-show of her family?

Or more to the point, would they rather not so separate the family from the job?

Fear does a terrible thing to the left-wind media!

They want to see her destroyed because they couldn’t help but notice the huge crowds showing up everywhere she spoke, and that she obviously motivated and inspired a whole lot of our party members (unlike that nasty little troll that somehow got nominated as our standard bearer).

They’re not going at it full-force, because they’ve got years to go about it - but they’re going to keep up the “destroy Sarah Palin” campaign, you can bet on it. The left never sleeps.

The Left has always had a hard time distinguishing trivial gossip with news. Celebrities are idolized on the Left, as shallowness reigns supreme in small minds. Notice the term “gossip” isn’t even heard anymore in the media.

Gov.Palin ping!

"CBS seemed taken aback in an April 6 report that Governor Sarah Palin could possibly still be relatively popular "despite the negative news" "Despite everything we try to do"

There... fixed it

[MEGoody]

In before the Sarah haters!

It is very obvious that the media is terrified of Sarah. With the mess that Obama and his minions are making of everything, they know that they have to work now and work hard to try to destroy anyone who might threaten the liberal hold on governmental institutions.

What they fail to realize is that the liberals are their own biggest threat.

Maybe she's popular because of the latest news, or at least that which CBS decides to broadcast?

[KarlInOhio]

Did they get their rock solid information from a fax machine in a Kinko's in Texas again?

Who????

The more the has-been-media attacks the more tough and tested her metal becomes...I admire the Governor!!

Except when the last name is ‘Clinton’.

Then they split the personal performance from the job performance.

Is CBS really that empty of substance that they’d ignore the real and important issues,past record shows that to be true.
