“The normal perception of any conservative by the MSM that she is stupid.”
I stopped reading right there. Is it “normal” for a “conservative” to care what the MSM thinks? I sure don’t.
Palin is the first presidential candidate to be paid millions$ for running her political commercials on TV. She played hardball with Exxon up in Alaska and won. My guess is she’s the smartest person in almost every room she walks into. That’s one of the reasons why the Liberals are so scared of her.
I agree, Conservatives don’t care or shouldn’t care what the MSM thinks. However it will take more than conservatives to win.
It's not whether you or I can be swayed by the MSM, but the great mass of people whose only source of news is the MSM. That great mass of people unwittingly adopt the MSM propaganda without much thought. It has been speculated that having the MSM in your corner can mean a very substantial increase in your vote count.
Don't project your ideas or your reactions on the entire population. Merely dismissing the MSM can be a prescription for defeat. Confront the reality if really want to be successful.
