Ziegler is back in spotlight with Palin
Louisville Courier-Journal ^ | January 19, 2009 | Angie Fenton

John Ziegler is known for making waves on talk radio.

Now he's started a tsunami with his forthcoming documentary "Media Malpractice … How Obama Got Elected."

In November, Ziegler debuted excerpts from the film, which examines how news media impacted the 2008 presidential election, on Fox News' "Hannity & Colmes." The purpose of the video, said Ziegler, was to determine "the impact of the news media on what Obama voters knew -- or thought they knew -- about the campaign."

The news media loves Obama because he bought expensive political ads on their stations which paid their salaries. Money talks and talking heads do too when revenues are gained for the Big Media.

Ziegler has a tendency to cross the edge in talk-radio. Other than that he is a decent guy who I have met personally. I look forward to viewing the video.

That explains the verbal mugging MSNBC's David Shuster perpetrated on Ziegler.

Granted while I am not a Palin fan (go Romney, Sanford, Jindal or Huckabee), I think there were some things that were out of line about her kid Trig. However, family is not entirely out of bounds when you talking about leadership. How you present your family, how you shepard them, how they act and who they associate with are unfortunately open game when you’re talking about becoming President. For me, I was not impressed with some of the basic (albeit few) interviews she did - the Couric interview was a trainwreck factor for the undecideds not the blogger nation. So Sarah needs to take these next couple of years and polish her current events knowledge, do a good job for Alaska and perhaps she’ll resonate with those who are not ultra-conservatives - remember there is a difference between Reagan conservatives and evangelical (or ultra) conservatives in the party.

He was on the radio in Louisville in the past. We really loved him.

These big media talking heads make large sums of money to praise Obama. If they were objective, they would ask tough questions, but, they are getting paid to boost Obama and degrade Bush or Palin or McCain. Who trusts or believes them? They are one sided and biased to keep their jobs. The President is a Rockstar and they are the groupies.

And if you think that the chopped up editting of the “Couric interview” wasn’t done on purpose to absolutely make the worst possible presentation of Palin then you are a true loon. As for her son (Trig) and the rest of her children they are indeed off limits. Politics isn’t a purist sport. I will take Governor Palin anyday because she knows what she stand for. Huckabee is a big government adherent and the rest of list is not much better. Keep looking for perfection and get more the likes of Obama

"The news media loves Obama because he bought expensive political ads on their stations which paid their salaries. Money talks and talking heads do too when revenues are gained for the Big Media."

After listening to one of the news media last night they also LOVE him because now they can have DC parties. They were so bored with Bush because he did a hard days work and got up early and went to bed early. Not out pandering to them.

It made me sick listening to them.

And if I hear anymore how elegant Michelle is and how much like Jackie Kennedy she is in style I will puke.

She looks awful in anything I have seen her in. Tall and lanky, no boobs at all.

Actually, she is so bull-legged that she appears to have trouble walking.

Obama is going to have a big party giving out tax money to buy more support. Isn’t it funny how politics is all about money, not doing the right thing?

Don't you make fun of bull-legs, but you are right. I know.
