Governor Palin addresses the corruption of the media's herd mentality:
Sarah Palin
PoliticianFriends, this is a very important post I respectfully ask you to read through. Forgive its length. May it help you nail the coffin that's given shelter to a corrupt press that would stop at nothing in their fight against right.
Reports today claimed Tom Brokaw was calling on his former network to fire Brian Williams for lying for years about being hit by enemy fire in Iraq. Brokaw apparently denies the reports. (Personally, I hope Williams keeps his job as the face of network news to remind America how this all works, and to justify our complete turning away from his ilk in mainstream media.) It appears that some at NBC did know that Williams was lying for over a decade but never said a thing about it. Keep in mind that Williams repeated his bogus story many times on air, yukked it up with David Letterman over the made up drama, and even accepted praise as a "war hero."

Let's consider the herd mentality these journalists use to empower and cover for each other. It's precisely the way a corrupt organization works, like a crime syndicate. Remember the "JournoList" scandal where hundreds of prominent members of the media were finally exposed for operating a secret internet chat group to strategize on how they would cover (read: spin) the news of the day to fit their leftwing agenda, regardless of truth? I haven't forgotten. They would stop at nothing. I was aware of their collective unethical character not only because my college degree was earned using the complete opposite journalism tactics of JournoList's, but also because I lived it first hand as they began their relentless BS about my family, my hometown, and my record when I was asked to come on the national scene in 2008.

My parents just reminded me that right after my acceptance speech at the RNC in 2008, Brian Williams repeated on national television a completely false story that I banned books while I served in office. He did so by reading on air a completely false op-ed by another unethical character who's never clarified nor apologized for including that outrageous censorship lie, among many others. (Thanks, Joe Klein, hope you're keeping it classy.) Those lies - proclaimed on air as if Williams was merely reporting "the news" - were heard by many that night. Lies like that were like a gut punch to my parents that knocked down the foundation of trust they've lived their good lives upon, for they realized, defenselessly, the power of a corrupt press. The media lies rung a bell that can never be "un-rung." In the minds of millions of Americans, I was tainted as an anti-First Amendment book banning wacko. Brian Williams lied about me in order to affect the way I would be perceived by Americans during the 2008 election. He lies. There is no other way around it. But what's especially disgusting is the way his corrupt colleagues covered for him. I have never and will never let the shroud of victimization cover me - God's given me way too many undeserved blessings to dishonor His goodness by wasting time crying "victim" - but I'm happy to recall the hundreds of Palin-centric false reports if it helps America understand you must never trust JournoList-types. (Well, not exactly "happy" to do it, but willing - all the whilst throwing up a little bit in my mouth, believing the reason the harshness perpetuates may be for others' edification.)
Don't be lulled into thinking this is only an NBC problem. It's all the major networks. Look, for example, at the outrageous media bias at CNN at the same time Williams was making up stories about his "war valor."
There is a serious problem with the liberal media's herd mentality. It's too late for their mea culpa because they've already lost America's trust, and that is a dangerous thing. But while they're still on our airwaves, they need to clean up their act as the rest of us turn to new media that will be held accountable. A free press is a cornerstone of our democracy. They have the tools to be our watchdogs, not liars and lapdogs for the powers that be.
Thanks for hearing me out. And, *sigh*, for the umpteenth time - for the benefit of the most unprofessional among the herd who will never clarify nor apologize - yes, I am my son's mother.
- Sarah Palin

Brilliant and razor sharp with truth. Thank you, Sarah.
Republicans should break up the networks;they derive no benefit from having libs work for the/with Democrats.
I still wonder how badly Juan McStain would have been beaten if it wasn’t for Gov. Palin.
Sarah has taken the lies, attacks on her family and a national smear campaign by the democrats and their minions in the media and has lived to see it destroy the credibility of those who foisted it on her and all of us. Her apparent ‘crime’ was to say yes to the invitation to run for Vice President on the Republican ticket. The real war on women ... you bet’cha.
That is pretty interesting, odds are you did hit the button.
Are you Fataphobic?
He would have has his butt handed to him, especially with the way the press was sucking up to his opponent.
bfl
Wow! Sarah Palin shoots the arrow dead on target.
My question is, why does the media swim in the DemonRAT bed? They must feel like whores by now. Are they worried that we might turn them off and they will need to dip into the Government Trough to stay afloat? Are they worried that Big Government carries a big stick and will swat them out of business if they don’t perform like cheap whores for their government pimp masters? This has been going on for way too long.
Freedom of the press was meant to be a third rail against government misbehavior. It was never meant to be a cloak around bad conduct.
I remember Bill and Hillary Clinton’s 1992 post-Super Bowl interview with Steve Croft. It was a big lie to win an election. During the interview we watched the following double talk:
Kroft: “You’ve been saying all week that you’ve got to put this issue behind you. Are you prepared tonight to say that you’ve never had an extramarital affair?”
Clinton: “I’m not prepared to say that any married couple should ever discuss that with anyone but themselves. I’m not prepare to say that about anybody.”
It was the media pushing double talk to pave the way for the DemonRATs and the election. It was the same media that paved the way for Obama.
It is apparent that the Hildebeast will double talk and spin circles with lies about her record. It is part of her inner core. She has the Slickmeister to show her the way and the media as mistress whores to pave her road with lies.
What would happen if the American people see through the media B.S.? What would happen if they were replaced by those who present the news in a responsible manner and not sink to the L.C.D.? We need Sarah Palin to shine the light of truth on the media’s corruption. The Yellow Journalist need to be kicked to the curb. They need to go away like old whores. They are the dinosaurs to America’s freedom.
I have been telling the people around me for 30 years now the lame stream media is a lying sack of excrement.
"NBC has agreed with ME. ...
and has given me a Purple Heart".
Yes indeed, and nobody knows more about the EVIL MSM than Sarah Palin.
