I’m amazed that “Time” did such a good job of reporting...I think it’s been so long since I’ve read a piece of journalism that wasn’t propaganda that I’d almost forgotten what it looked like.

Thanks for this comment. I wasn't gonna read the article cause I saw the Time byline and assumed it would be a hit piece. I figured I get a better read form the freeper on this thread. I'm shocked to hear of actual journalism going on. Something has slipped at Time.

“I’m amazed that “Time” did such a good job of reporting..”

I think most in the MSM are feeling some blowback for how incredibly biased and unprofessional most of them have been. A few have expressed embarrassment over the Matthews/Olberman behavior, and over the immediate attempts to smear Palin from day one. There might be some effort to be a little less in the tank for Obama, but it’ll probably be temporary.

But the MSM has taken a few beatings about their bias recently.

I agree. Actual reporting. I’m shocked.

So...Palin’s performance. Sigh. I have high hopes for her, I really do. And I’m one of those “very excited Republican base” people. But to be honest, I was very underwhelmed by her performance. Yes, ABC hacked it up in editing to make her look bad, in some spots, and I’m quite certain to change her meaning in at least one instance (”...they have no choice but to become suicide bombers...”).

None of that changes the fact that it was pretty clear to me that she hasn’t put a lot of thought into national or international affairs. And her “don’t blink” attitude will come off as scary when combined with her lack of thoughtfulness, there. I would have much preferred that she’d answered with more humility and thoughtfulness. “Well, Charlie, I wouldn’t say I had self doubt, but I certainly did have many questions for Senator McCain. And I also needed to spend some time in introspection, soul searching, and prayer. And after I went through that process, this is what I discovered...”

Anyway, I give it a C for her first performance. Still plenty of time left in the term.
