The author is mistaken. Liberal journalists do not outnumber conservatives ones by a margin of four to one. They outnumber conservative journalists by about ten to one.

They are quite literally drowning in their hate. What a life, to hate with such intensity.

How could they call it 3 years of legal haggling? She left the governorship in the summer of ‘09. We’re only now coming up on 2 years. Or is the arithmetic more sophisticated than that?

Thanks much for posting this. I hadn't seen the Jon Stewart clip until now. He's still a despicable liberal creep but he grudgingly got this one essentially right.

GO SARAH GO!

Gone Hussein gone!

"Journalists were so blinded by their Palin obsession that they lost sight of what their job is. Where there’s smoke, it’s a journalist’s job to investigate relentlessly to find the smoking gun. From Watergate to Weinergate, that’s been the model for investigative journalism.

The problem in this case was that there was no smoke. The journalists pre-selected their target — Palin — and sought access to her emails in an attempt to find smoke. That’s not investigative journalism — that’s called “opposition research,” which is what political operatives do to political opponents. Opposition research is the dark art of doing whatever it takes to find something that will take your opponent down."

We conservatives have been shouting from the rooftops for years, how liberally biased the MSM is, but this episode with the Palin emails proves something even more heinous.

It should now be clear to anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex that the MSM isn't just biased toward the liberal view, but that the industry is a virtual arm of the liberal Democrat party, and actively goes after conservatives, patriots, and Republicans who it wants to take down.

They've already lost all credibility with the right, and now it appears that they've lost at least some degree of credibility with many on the left.

Dude! This BS proves why she is a good and decent woman.

She has to run. I gave Michelle today and will give again in a few weeks but if Sarah runs, I’m gonna start writing checks.

IMO, at this time, there are only three maybe four possibles:

Cain
Bachman
Perry
My girl, Sarah.

(sorry, forgot the others names)

So some vitriolic PDS libs recognize that this behavior toward Palin and her children may be a bit over the top... and they deserve praise for that? HUH????

and yet not one Republican political leader has stood up and called the MSM out for their witch hunt. Not ONE.

where is the speaker of the house demanding that the MSM stand down? Where is the minority leader defending one of the leaders of his party? where are the other POTUS candidates calling out the MSM for their Obama worship? where are the governors and congresspeople and senators that gov Palin helped win their seats?

this is has bad as the blood libel. these people do not deserve our support not one of them has the cajones and the moral fiber to call out the evil in our midst. not one.

True. Once again, the media tried unsuccessfully to create smoke. Just like all of those other tactics such as having a slimebag lib reporter rent the house next door to hers, sending droves of the scum to Anchorage to dig for dirt that never materialized...

The state-run media is terrified of Sarah Palin. And I'm sure they're extremely frustrated by now.

I hope she announces her candidacy soon.

While I'll give the lefties a bit of credit for speaking out favorably for Palin, she should thank them from a distance and keep that distance. The Left always has some ulterior motive. In Stewart's case, I'm sure he is trying to pass himself off as a moderate when he is in fact a socialist, so coming to Palin's defense helps to burnish his moderate street cred. But he'll stab her in the back when he decides it is the right time to do so.

It backfired on them and they know it. There’s nothing genuine about this and they are only shifting their tactics because they know this can be turned around on 0bama and them with this obvious bias and maliciousness. They are part of it even while they attempt to play like they don’t approve of it. Only after the fact when they didn’t find anything. Now what’s in 0bama’s records? They have opened this up and made it about them.

A local activist had suspected Palin of conducting some political activities on government time. If that’s the standard, then journalists should be poring through the emails of every single elected official in the country (starting with the president).

I can’t believe that some judge would actually grant a petitioner relief on such flimsy grounds.

After all politics is a vital part of a governor’s job. Nothing on a governor’s agenda would ever get done if he or she did not politic. A governor must build support for his agenda or the legislature will simply ignore the governor’s priorities for their own. That is politics.

But as the author states if that is the standard they had better look at the House and Senate which some reports say spend about 45% of their work day making calls for campaign contributions or seeing lobbyist who had better be packing campaign cash or they will be sent packing.

This is all an instinctive smokescreen. Let these nuisance suits go on for 2 1/2 years and then when, as jackals, they don’t get emails juicy enough to even really spin and all of a sudden they are proponents of squeaky clean journalism AND defenders of Palin? Please!

This is simply defense against similar blowback by the Pubbies (yeah, I know.)

Scratch the surface and they’re not upset that Palin continues to be smeared and ruthlessly investigated by the MSM, it’s that its keeping attention away from Zero and his re-election campaign. They all wouldn’t be wracked with PDS if they didn’t fear her. They are all still trying to justify and spinthe dem butt kicking last Nov.

Feel her pain? No. They’re just trying to regain credibility. Too late.

This is further confirmation of an old saying:
