Media: Palin's perfectly legal firing of trooper was "unlawful"

The media is obviously partisan towards the left. Analysis proves it, it's obvious to the observer, and surveys show that most Americans know it to be true.

The degree to which the MSM has gone openly, nakedly pro-Obama is, however, truly striking. They are now more obviously in the tank than ever before in modern memory.

The most recent example is exceptionally disgusting, even for them.

The findings of the Palin "Troopergate" probe allowed the press to feel as though they should use the opportunity to come out with headlines like . . .

and

Unlawfully? UNLAWFULLY?

Check out this analysis by Bill Dyer. Here's a key excerpt:

"I find that, although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads."

Here's a note to Mr. Branchflower, who clearly is verbose, but obviously none too keen a scholar of logic: Gov. Palin's so-called "firing" of Monegan (it wasn't a firing, it was a re-assignment to other government duties that he resigned rather than accept) can't simultaneously be a violation of the Ethics Act and "a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statutory authority." This, gentle readers, is a 263-page piece of political circus that actually explicitly refutes itself on its single most key page!

So, the report—which has flaws of its own that Dyer discusses—also clearly says that Palin violated no laws. So how does the press report it? As "unlawful."

That's what passes for journalism these days.


PS: Note the picture CBS chose, with Palin's hand on heart, to create what they think is some sort of sense of "irony." At what point do we get to stop saying that the media's behavior is disgusting and start saying that they themselves are disgusting?

Last week the Boston Globe did the same crap with the fake "rape kit" LEAD EDITORIAL which they refused to correct. These people are one big interlocking barrel of lying filth.

To quote Barack Obama: "Get in their faces!"

And the trooper was fired when?

Democrats, in fact, adhere to a code of conduct that makes it acceptable to murder and torture the innocent.

Please don't confuse Democrats with Liberals. Not all Democrats are liberals. Some are more conservative than some of those RINOs we have up there.

All Democrats are subjec to the charge because they EMPOWER the Liberals.

You might think your dear, beloved blue haired old grandmother who won't give up Adlai Stevenson is actually a nice person, but she puts people like Nancy Pelosi and her running dog lackeys in power.

You owe it to America to change granny's mind, or to keep her away from the polling place on election day, and NO DONATIONS!

Don't worry. My grandmother passed away in May.

However, my deluded aunt, sister, and cousin plan to vote for Obama. I got a Rolling Stone hit piece this morning from Aunty. I told her who owned the Rolling Stone (a 60's liberal jackass). I suggested she vote third party. LOL

The only reason they are voting Obama is because he isn't Bush and Palin is "scary." Emotion trumps reason, I guess.

Tell 'em that Governor Palin is going to have them down there rockin' and a rollin', shoutin' and a hollerin' at the Holy Roller church whether she wins or not.

Let them know they are DOOMED!

I've found most leftwingtards are absolutely terrified of being hauled into the sanctuary of any church where they play drums!~
