Here’s what you can say - it’s not so much what’s said ( but it’s that too) as what’s not said.

Here’s an example. Let’s say that a reporter looked into Sarah’s background and it turned out that she knew Timothy McVeigh - and when confronted with the information she said, “he was someone in the neighborhood - and besides I was in college when he bombed the Murrah Building - I didn’t know him that well”.

Then later it was discovered that Sarah had worked in the same building with him - had served on some boards with him and had directed state money to him. Also, it turned out that Timothy McVeigh had helped start Sarah’s campaign by hosting a “kick off party” at his home. A party with his wife - a woman who had been on the FBI’s “10 Most Wanted” list. Would the MSM look at that if it had been Sarah? BET ON IT>

The MSM would be screaming.

Now, let’s say that it also turned out that Sarah had connections to antisemitic groups. And her excuse again was they were “in the neighborhood”. Would the MSM give her a pass? Nation of Islam. Lots of stuff there. And they’re throwing big support to Obama.

Or maybe that the first dude was working at a hospital that received funds from Sarah - and the first dude got a bump in salary of over a hundred thousand dollars after the “grant” came in. Would that be something to look into? If it was about conservatives it would be. That’s what’s rumored to have happened with Obama and his wife. He directed big grants to the hospital, she got a raise. Weeks apart. Maybe it was OK - maybe not - but the MSM never bothered to look. Nope, they were too busy sending reporters to Alaska to see if Sarah’s great wrong of being ticked off at a man who tasered a 10 year old was being treated wrong.

What about Obama’s cocaine use? Would John McCain have gotten a pass if he had used cocaine? If McCain’s wife had used or abused prescription pain pills it would make the front page. Obama using illegal street drugs? He gets a pass. Why don’t we know how long Obama used cocaine, who supplied it and when he stopped using - well, if he stopped? If McCain used cocaine it would be played BIG - front page - flood the zone. Obama? He gets the MSM free pass.

If a convicted criminal slumlord helped McCain buy his house, there would be so many stories about it in the MSM we’d all have the layout of the house memorized. Obama? not much. And on and on and on.

I have sent him several of the links that have been supplied and all I got back was very short: thank you. I may send a letter to our local paper (Star-Telegram DFW) about this article and its blatant bias. I am sure there will be no action but I will feel better.
