She did not deserve to be questioned over whether she was indeed the mother of her baby. Alaska was bombarded by requests for DNA proof.

Does a fish know he’s wet?

Don’t ask a media person if he’s objective. He assumes he is; he in actual fact has no clue.

Should we dismiss our uncertainties?

Like Barack Obama's birth certificate? Like Michelle Obama's giant pay raise?

The media is ruthless. There's no getting around it

Unless it is about protection the Zero.

He was supposed to call in sick today or something.

“The first is his claim that the media was overly harsh when ridiculing her policies and behavior.”


We all know that was hardly brought up, instead without even introducing her to the people they just started immediately dumping vast loads of rumors, lies, labels, accusations, humorous labels and inaccurate caricatures and false images and burying her name and face in negativity.

...her folksiness and casual demeanor, unfortunately, come across as unprofessional, and this is why we might feel wary about her.

Obama's precise, television newsreader style of speaking comes across as highly professional, even though he has zero qualifications for the the job he just won. Is that what prevented you journalists from feeling wary about him?

Obama has experience?! - These effete, liberal snobs are in for an education in what they have wroght by just giving Obama a pass because he was “black” and talked pretty from a - uh - teleprompter. “Uh - uh - uh - uh - uh . . .” Get used to it, cause we gonna hear enough of it for the next four years. You betcha!

On the other hand, her past indicates that she may not be as well-versed in politics as she should be

"Up here in Alaska the landscape is littered with the bodies of those who crossed Sarah" - Pollster Dave Dave Dittman, who worked for her gubernatorial campaign.

Sarah Palin does not carry a grudge...

The rest of the world cannot understand how after bitter election campaigns American politicians can return to reality. For Instance, Sarah Palin has invited to her great state of Alaska the men who defeated her, Barack Obama and Joe Biden. She has provided a moose hunting trip for their enjoyment and has hired two other prominent men to assist them. Dick Cheney will instruct them in safe gun handling and Ted Kennedy will drive them back to their cabins in the evening....

I wonder what planet this dumb broad Allison is from. We Americans sure wish that her “media” had given their boy, Obama, some of their “fair” treatment. Even a little of the “fair” treatment that Governor Palin got would have been okay.

“her folksiness and casual demeanor, unfortunately, come across as unprofessional, and this is why we might feel wary about her”

That is funny, really, because she was the only professional in the running. The only reason she came across a certain way was because the MSM was writing, producing, and directing the show.

Do you think they ever, in their heart of hearts, feel sorry for hiding Biden’s gaffes and Obama’s inexperience (not to mention everyone else’s clothes)?

Media's Treatement of Sarah Palin Not Unfair

GIBSON: You said recently, in your old church, “Our national leaders are sending U.S. soldiers on a task that is from God.” Are we fighting a holy war?

PALIN: You know, I don’t know if that was my exact quote.

GIBSON: Exact words.

Actual transcript of Palin's comments that Gibson is referencing:

PALIN: "pray for our military men and women who are striving to do what is right. Also, for this country, that our leaders, our national leaders, are sending [U.S. soldiers] out on a task that is from God. That's what we have to make sure that we're praying for, that there is a plan and that that plan is God's plan."

That's just one of many leaps far beyond the normal subtle or at least tolerable bias that we expect. Unfair? It's so far beyond unfair that the word seems absurdly mild, and anyone who doesn't see tha is too biased to be worth talking to.

For example, "Palin also told those gathered that Obama doesn't like American soldiers," reported Dana Milbank in the New York Times. She backed up her claim using quotes that were out of context. Moreover, a statement like this does not command respect because it is so obviously futile and inconsequential.

When the hell did she ever say that? She never said any such thing! What a liar! These people are shameless!
