“There was NO media honeymoon for Governor Palin. None.”

I was reading the FR thread on tracking the plane picking up Gov. Palin early Fri. morning. The wife had one of the network morning shows on. Two gals were in the middle of their Obamsm when one said that McCain had chosen “some woman from Alaska” as his running mate. Neither had the slightest idea who Gov. Palin was, but were more than willing to denigrate her.

It's inevitable, too, that Obama will eventually have his turn under the microscope. When the media start picking apart some of his Cabinet choices or his pronouncements on the state of the economy or his declarations about Iraq, he may be surprised to find that the afterglow of his stunning victory turns sour so fast.

Ha! Like this is going to happen. After watching the media give the Clinton admin pass after pass on their scandals during those 8 years (and even after - Berger), I have no doubt that we'll see the same from the lapdog media during the Obama's hopefully lone term.

When McCain first nominated her, she could do no wrong in the media's eyes”

Huh?
On what planet was that?
Gov Plain was viciously attacked, smeared, and a was subject to a campaign of personal destruction by the media vermin within 1 minute of her nomination. And the vicious, nasty, deranged attacks on Gov Plain are yet to stop since then.

Interesting.

And in what distant, remote galaxy did the media behave that way?

Because in this one, once she scored her series of direct hits on The One, it was out to destroy her from the very start.

The media knows that it is bad news that sells and bad news with a scapegoat sells best of all. When the US economy tanks under Obama’s leadership, the MSM may cease being his lapdog and be looking for blood.

Hmmmmm? I must have missed that. Looked to me like the media declared all out war on SP beginning about an hour before McCains formal announcement.

They know he will be an abject failure and they are trying to distance from him. Too late.

...Sarah Palin, McCain's running mate. When McCain first nominated her, she could do no wrong in the media's eyes.

What the hell???

I wish this puke had written that damnable lie at the top of his fishwrap. I wouldn't have had to slog through the rest of his slop.

Nah. Obama and the media will never give Hillary any credit for anything. They will be about making Obama look good for the next 4 years.

Remorse is overdue, and a whole lot more.

I suggest public hangings. In the interest of helping the MSM atone for their sins, of course. Always like to be helpful.

No matter how you slice it, chris mathews still has a “ I heart obama” bumper sticker on his posterior.

I'm pretty sure that's a tattoo, not a sticker.

Nah. They will just blame Bush. I am going to make a prediction. For the next 100 years and maybe beyond that, anything that goes wrong in the entire world or possibly even the entire galaxy, solar system, whatever, will be tied to Bush policy in some way.

Don't count on it. The MSM has degraded even further since the Clinton days, when they merely downplayed his rottenness.

They've now gone over into full-bore Democrat Media and Disinformation Department mode. We're looking at a community that, as one poster put it, "has moved from being the Fourth Estate, into being a fifth column in this country."

One thing the 2008 election proved to me, is that the MSM is no longer simply liberally biased. They're now a full-fledged force for Marxism, and a part of the radical left-wing political machine in America. There is NOTHING that emanates from them that is of any useful purpose to patriotic Americans.

well the media is still going to tally their pro - obama stories with the anti-obama stories for ALL of 2008, they will not partition the pre-november 2008 stories.

Of course now we have the new phenomenon of SELLING the coverage as a keepsake!
