CNN Distorts Palin Comments From Its OWN Interview With Her
Publius' Forum ^ | 11/14/07 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/14/2008 6:33:15 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

What is it about CNN that they have to distort things that Governor Sarah Palin has said in interviews? This time, CNN even distorted what she said in an interview one of its own correspondents conducted. On CNN's Political Ticker Blog on November 11, CNN had this absurd headline:Palin in Obama's administration? And followed that up with a paragraph that materially misstated what she told their own commentator, Wolf Blitzer.

Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin said Wednesday she would be honored to help out President-elect Barack Obama in his new administration, even if he did hang around with an "unrepentant domestic terrorist."

Yet, the several paragraphs that follow shows that the header and the into paragraph twist what it is she really said. If one were to read just the headline and that first paragraph of the Political Ticker entry, one would get a very distorted view of what the governor said.

First to address the misleading and snarky headline. Governor Palin did NOT say she wanted to become a member of Barack Obama's administration. All she said was that she'd be happy to "assist and support" the new president. This is the same thing that any governor would and should say about a newly elected president.

The American public NEEDS to destroy the media (by not buying any of their print media and seriously boycotting their advertisers). That is the ONLY way things will change. They have free rein now to lie and twist the truth to suit their agenda, which should scare the bejabbers out of Americans.

killing the sharks? hardly

Instead of dangling herself in the water for shark bait, She should get OUT of the water

Go home, do a magnificent executive job of running her state, be a champion for federalism, which is our last best hope of avoiding totalitarianism. Be a voice for domestic resource development, before Obummer issues fiats nationalizing ANWR and the rest of her state’s assets

She should make some travels around the world to meet with international leaders on energy and trade and security, fill up her passport and expand her resume

Who’s running the state anyway, while she’s on the media circuit and democrats are stealing the Stevens election?

Let those sharks swim up to the frozen north and try to keep up with her- asap

I disagree. She needs practice dealing with them. She needs to learn which journalists are the most corrupt and least honest. She needs to make all the dopey stories into old news. Then, when she runs in 2012, she'll be at the top of her game. The media are just a group of socialists and communists who are thrilled with the opportunity to destroy freedom, and they won't treat Sarah fairly even after four years of getting to know her. However, they won't want to rehash their stale attacks on her either. If she can keep them attacking over nothing, she'll draw some of their venom for the next round, and the public will have seen four years of absurd attacks debunked. That will limit the damage that the media wing of the Obama Reelection Campaign can do.

..... or she is receiving very bad advice to continue playing to the cameras on the talking head press circuit.
or both.

Again while I have never tried to interfere with another countries elective business, I feel I can comment on the MSM. After we get it in spades up in Canada. CNN and then our own CBC. Using a communist phrase against CBC, the "running dogs of socialist agendas.

I could see this with many other Freeper. Coming a 'ya like an iceberg coming for the Titanic. Is there something in anyone's makeup that simply feels grand (for the want of a better word). Governor Palin is of course, very human. The saying "fool me once" comes to mind.

Too bad that the advice given long ago by Rush Limbaugh was not thrust in big block letters to the pubbies. Even Rush was almost caught, he admitted it. Yeah, meet Cokie Roberts for lunch. They are nice, quoth Rush, you think think it is a sort of honour (not his exact words). He continued to say, they are just waiting in ambush- or words to that effect.

Some of us ordinary mortals, with a nudge if Limbaugh fans, could see it coming. One thing though so far, the Governor has not consented to go on Oprah or the other cabal- the View.

Please, please Governor. Cherish your friends advice, I think you will.

Amen. You know, if I was going to bet money on just who would survive a dustup like this, my money would most assuredly be on Governor Palin. Besides being a mom, she has a hunter's instincts.

Maybe Sarah Palin will allow Keith Olbermann or Bill Maher to "interview" her next?
