No real need for any fresh examples of MSM bias, but this one is so cool I thought I'd share it.

Notice the headline "...Disqualify her for the wrong reasons"?

Implicit assertion is that the Obama faithful shouldn't lose their talking points about the "right" reasons to disqualify her.

Anyway, I googled the author to see what sort of a journalist builds a political story around the coffee klatsch comments of a couple of anonymous, liberal voting, like minded girlfriends.

Surprise! Turns out Business Week's political commentator is a celebrity hag from a supermarket tabloid!

It sure nails McCain's point about Obama/Brittney, same difference.

How many times have you seen someone get a job they don't have the qualifications for?

Like Obama?

Excellent work, disassembling the article and being prepared for questions!

Palin has accomplished more in her 1.5 year as Governor than Obama has in his whole life. More even than some two term Governors.

Business Week is the business equivalent of People Magazine and Money is the National Enquirer. In this case, I’d follow the advice of former DNC treasurer Andrew Tobias and stick with Forbes and Barron’s.

But are these women upset about a man with no experience running for president? Somehow, I doubt it.

read the article, however “that black boy” as was very recently referred to by that most brilliant Jimmy Carter is more than amply qualified with his limited experience.

I’m tired of women executives without talent or leadership skills thinking they should be given choice opportunities or advancement because they have seniority. I see it every day in my line of work.

So what the hell “qualifies” someone?

20 years as a US Senator or Congressman with skills like being bought off by lobbyists, not showing up half the time to even vote, calling in souped up baseball players to rat each other out, and calling our Marines murderers with no evidence at all?

Sorry, I don't like those.

Palin has two more years of experience in an executive branch of government than Obama, who has none.

The same could be said about Obama, just exchange “blacks” with “women” but I’m pretty sure that they would never say that out loud.

“Obama, America’s Affirmative Action Choice”

I wonder how her friend feels about affirmative action for minorities and candidates that get a free pass on experience because of their shade.

Is this
"Palin Derangement Syndrome" (PDS)
or
"Palin Misogynist Syndrome" (PMS)?

Come to think of it...

Two more slogans.

PBS has PMS.

CBS has PDS.

Cheers!

My comment:

I know how you feel. I once read an article by this "journalist" woman who was given a national platform to vent her political frustrations with no details or investigation into the subject of her consternation. I found it really offensive to my abilities and sensibilities.

Somebody needs to list all of the RESPONSIBLITIES of the Alaskan governor. (and they could also include those of a mayor) Palin has had the responsibility to make all final EXECUTIVE decisions in these two positions. Never really has a day off.

Obama voted PRESENT on many issues to avoid taking a public stand while in the Illinois legislature. Elected to the US senate 4 years ago he has only been in session 150 days. He is chairman of an important committee and has never called a meeting. Obama not only lacks EXECUTIVE experience he lacks the sense of responsibility to those who elected him.

Anything to put down Palin. Pray for her.

Right. The other thing I’ve seen is attractive women get by-passed endlessly by less-attractive bosses who feel threatened.
