Hannity reported that BET, Univision, VH-1, and Telemundo did not carry Gov Palin’s speech.

... and they say the media is not biased ... ;-)

The fact that she got within a million of his viewer-ship on fewer networks AND she actually had content in her speech ... says a lot!!

WARNING - WARNING - WARNING -

The link to the ‘AP fact check’ in this story is actually a link to an Obama response/attack talking points memo on the website of obese queer gossipmonger Perez Hilton (if you have never seen him before, may God continue to bless you...)

Otherwise, OMG!!!! Palin kicked that livin’ crap out of that one. That was like a 65 yard field goal at Lambeau in January. Or the Carlton Fisk shot in Game 6 of the 1975 World Series to win against Cincy.

Plus, we just got calls from some of our friends who are delegates there and people have literally not slept yet because they are so psyched from the speech last night. I mean, 50 and 60 year old ladies staying up all night long? That HAD to be a game changing moment.

Palin appears to be a gamer in a league that we haven’t seen for quite a while. Rock On.

This is further great news coming on top of the superb reviews.

The media’s frenzied assault backfired to the extent that it drove up interest in Palin so that the speech became destination viewing.

“Obama got 38.4 milion viewers but was broadcast on more networks.”

Does that include CT USSR viewership?

The Reds went on to win Game 7. I don't recall that it was even close.

For a VP to draw this and be compared to top-ticket shows you how much ass she kicked last night.

The leftists dopes are saying, “He had more! He had more!”

Leave it to them to not understand simple math and averages.

Sarah - 37.2 million on 6 networks = 6.2 million per network
Dufus - 38.4 million on 10 networks = 3.84 million per network

Double up, suckers!

You would think the media would have realized their smear campaign would drive ratings last night. I believe they bought into their own lies and expected the “bimbo hick” to flop. Isn’t it great to watch it explode in their faces?

We all have had a good chance to look at the lack of trust worthiness of the American News machines. Some of the newcasters that I did like, I have learned to despise. CNN is at the lowest rank, and even Public Broadcasting sunk, giving their own view points and not telling honest news.

Well, I am 50ish, didn’t stay up all night, but i am really on fire. I feel for the first time since RR there is hope for nation. I eat every bad word that I ever said about McCain. I donated a small amount $45, but will do so again. If everyone just donated $20 or so, think about the impact.

You are so right — with less stations she almost matched Obama which is AWESOME!

Media bias is alive and well but now they proceed against Gov Palin at their own risk. I love this VP nominee.

PBS was so biased during the Clarence Thomas hearings that I left the Democratic party.

I couldn't stomach staying in a party that needed the support of a lying media in order to stay in power.

Did they count those of us who watched it on live streams like little green footballs, so we didn’t have to watch the talking-over the speeches of the fox talking heads.
