I am sick and tired of this paper using it's constitutional rights of being part of the free press being a tool for the Democrat party without charge.
Dan rather tried this 4 years ago with forged documents. If the N.Y. times run a front page story anyway demeaning her son afflicted with downs syndrome they may never recover. The backlash could be catastrophic to them and thier candidate.
Does Drudge have a quota to meet? Because this kind of teaser would do it.
It’ll probably be something along these lines:
Banner Headline, top of the fold, page 1.
Gist of the story:
Sarah Palin has been the center of a number of rumors about her 5th baby Trig. The NYT is not saying that any of these are true, but this story is about the incredible irresponsiblity of other media outlets that have reported the following: TRIG IS THE PRODUCT OF AN ADULTEROUS RELATIONSHIP, or TRIG IS REALLY HER 17 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER’S BABY, or TRIG IS THE RESULT OF AN INCENTUOUS RELATIONSHIP. We want to repeat that NYT does not claim that any of these are true, but we believe it is responsible journalism to report on page 1 how irresponsible these rumors are.
Over the weekend before the convention, campaign aides made the uncomfortable decision to urge her to go public with her unmarried 17-year-old daughter's pregnancy in order to rebut salacious Internet rumors that the teen was actually the mother of Palin's own newborn child. An aide, speaking anonymously because the matter is sensitive, says that Palin and her husband grew angry about the allegations. "Do I have to show them my stretch marks?" she asked one campaign official..
The NYT is going to expose Palin's unsightly stretch marks!
Prayers for the McCain and Palin families.
He’s changed it to “NYT PREPARES TO FRONT DETAILED STORY ON PALIN’S BABY, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...”
NYT is challenging the assumption that Trig Palin has more executive experience than Obambi, that’s what this is all about.
Must be over the water breaking and plane trip angle.
is NYT an extension of the Obamamessiah campaign?
Is this a continuation of the “she had an affair” thing? The “divorce action papers requested to be sealed” business? What’s the timing on those events?
This is probably the first of many pucker-moments that we are all going to have between now and 11/4. The media can read the polls. Hell, they probably know more about how the polls are trending than is being reported. And it ain’t good for Obama. I think that what we are seeing is the beginning of the media not “doubling down”, but rather going all-in.
I think that the media wants Obama, but would have been OK with a McCain, since he is old and represents (in their mind) the ossification of the GOP. The old guard that has nobody in the wings to take over.
Then here comes Palin. She’s fresh, she’s unabashedly conservative and she’s popular. More popular than anything that they have ever seen. The media is now looking at the very real possibility of a generation of conservative governance. Twenty-five years of “Palinomics”. An energized and GROWING conservative electorate.
They are going to stop at nothing to pull her down. The reputation of the most hallowed newspaper in the US? Means nothing. They will toss it away like toilet paper to stop this juggernaut.
I really do weep for the Palins, because they could not have possibly have known what she was going to start with just being her.
And if they do take her down, the culture wars will start. And these won’t be wars of words...
New Gallup Poll: Convention lifts McCain over Obama (54%-44% among Likely Voters)
The more they do this, the higher McCain and Palin go in the polls.
Drudge now has “NYT: MEET THE BABY... PAPER PREPARES TO FRONT DETAILED STORY ON PALIN’S BABY, NEWSROOM SOURCES TELL DRUDGE... DEVELOPING...”
It’s Sunday night. Oh wait...
