CBS Blasts Palin in Ridiculous 'Scandal' Segment
Culture and Media Institute ^ | April 6, 2009 | Erin Brown

Recent earthquake activity in Alaska provided “CBS Early Show” co-hosts with a ready-made metaphor for a segment on the personal lives of some of the those surrounding Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. But their quake turned out to be barely a ripple.

Hosts Harry Smith and Maggie Rodriguez couldn’t contain their smirks as they introduced the piece. “There's been an earthquake rumbling outside Anchorage, but there is some other rumblings, as well, near Wasilla,” Smith snickered. “Oh, indeed,” Rodriguez chimed in with her eyebrows raised. “Sarah Palin says that she is focused on one thing, governing Alaska. But it has been hard to dodge the negative headlines swirling around her friends and family. Some real doozies.”

Levi Johnston, Bristol Palin’s ex fiancée and father of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin’s grandson, was interviewed on the Tyra Banks show. Questioned by Banks, Johnston said “I’m pretty sure she [Gov. Palin] probably knew” he and Bristol were sexually active.” Then (perhaps momentarily forgetting that there was living proof to the contrary) he tried to maintain that the two had “always” practiced safe sex. After several prompts from Banks, he reluctantly admitted it was only “most of the time.”

Yet every gaffe and scandal involving Obama is glossed over or unreported. The MSM in this country has basically become a state media organ ala Pravda. They exist to smear the dear leaders’ enemies and legitimize his crazy actions. Disgusting.

I hear Kilmeade popped Franken in the mouth at a Correspondents Dinner. Even if not true, I think it jibes with Bryan’s personality. He’s OK by me.

She should take heart. If she is STILL under attack, it means that they are still afraid of her.

I recall hearing that as well about punching Franken in the mouth. I’m sure Kill-me is a nice guy, and probably a good friend to those that know him.

But I can’t take him that early in the morning. Too many times I’m interested in the conversation thats taking place, and he gets this tourettes like urge to bark nonsensical comments, occasionally completely and totally inappropriate to the debate occuring.

JMHO. I don’t wish him any ill. I just wish Fox and more news, and far less Fluff, that would keep me from flipping to Morning Joe, CNN for that.
