(NEW YORK) They scold us for being unfair, remind us to ask all the candidates the same questions, and occasionally, they boo us.
From Canton to Colorado, some of the tens of thousands of people attending Sarah Palins rallies regularly take it upon themselves to give the media a piece of their minds.
So I thought it only fair to turn the microphone around, and give a handful of rally attendees a chance to air their grievances about the way in which the media has covered the Republican vice presidential nominee.
Watch the video below:

MSM should visit FR to find out what conservatives really think about them.

MSM should visit FR to find out what conservatives really think about them.They know already and don't much care.
They are like stubborn little children who don't like to be scolded and will go right back to doing whatever damaging thing they were doing just to spite you. No matter how much it ends up hurting themselves.

Some of those "anti-governmentmedia" types! How dare they challenge the fourth branch of government. The one with no accountability and that gets to write history.

They take Axis Sally’s old view (American born Nazi propagandist) that you should not embrace the USA “my country right or wrong” yet they, like Sally, are unwilling to step back and take the same attitude to their employers and direct a critical eye toward their own abuses, excesses, lies, and wrongs.

It is unfair that he puts “being unfair” in scare quotes as if he has no idea what they are talking about.

“So I thought it only fair to turn the microphone around, and give a handful of rally attendees a chance to air their grievances about the way in which the media has covered the Republican vice presidential nominee.”
Why not point a microphone also on the Left wingers who insist that this media has been overly conservative? Let them spout the talking points from the Daily Worker and Daily KOS.

There's always a big media naval gazing meeting after elections. (Watch for it on C-Span) They always come to the conclusion that they provided balanced information to the public. They live in an echo chamber & any outsider trying to give them an alternate view is written off, the one who's trying to get through to them is stupid or ignorant.

I think he’s quoting the comments. Notice he put the other one in quotes as well.

The MSM, or rather LSM, strikes me as being rather like the marketing department of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Warning!!! Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy reference. Just the same as the marketing department they don’t understand that they will be first up against the wall when the revolution, that they are trying to cause, comes. BTW, the L stands for Lame.

There are ways she could be using the press. But with this strategy it just makes it look like she’s afraid of them and needs to be protected.

Democrats diss Republicans at Dem gatherings. Why shouldn’t Republicans do the same to Democrats?

I don't think that Scott Conroy quite internalized the understanding that people now call his organization [and rightly so]

Their motto is ‘my country wrong even when right.’
I don’t get it, but the bias of the media is palpable. Anything traditionally American is to be scorned. Anything eurosocial is wonderful. Let them follow their hearts and move to Europe and live the lifestyle of their dreams.
