Early Show's Sleazy Interview of Levi Johnston & Family: 'Were Palins Snobby?'
FinkelBlog ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 04/08/2009 6:28:09 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

How sleazy and rock-bottom was Maggie Rodriguez’s interview of Levi Johnston and his family, aired on The Early Show this morning? At one point Rodriguez asked Levi’s sister whether she thought the Palins were “snobby.”

Consider that. CBS thought it was good journalism to ask and appropriate to air the opinion of: the sister of the former boyfriend of the daughter of a former vice-presidential candidate whether she thought that former vice-presidential candidate’s family was “snobby.”

Why is Brinten Palin more news worthy than Biden’s coke sniffing daughter?

Gee, Maggie, were you and the rest of the POS liberal media “snobby” with your relentless disdain of the Palins?

I would imagine that to Wasilla trailer trash like the Johnstons everone would seem snobby.

I HATE the media. They are all a bunch of snobs. That is why they despise Governor Sarah Palin so. Afterall, she attended Idaho State University. How could she possibly expect to govern them?

I could only bear about 20 seconds of this/
I hope there wasn’t much more.
Yes, this is actually the TRUE or TRUER face of what is still considered to be “political tele-journalism” as practiced by the MSM. It’s the other stuff, which pretends to be “serious”, which is actually the sideshow the prep the way for getting to this stuff, the lowest of low-level tabloid sleaze. And SO mundane, too.

Because they’re giving him air time. It’s past time we started boycotting any news organization, magazine, or tv show that continues to attack Gov. Palin.

Wasn’t this POS mother arrested not to long ago for drugs?
The media will continue to attack the Palins because they fear them.

Kinda gives the “National Enquirer” a prestige boost.

It’s not for nothing they’ve earned the moniker “See B.S.”

Question: At one point the mother was asked how it felt to see her son go "through this" and with crocodile tears she claimed it was devastating. May I ask what "going through this" means? Unless I missed something, I don't recall the Palins making an issue out of anything but rather these media hounds looking for their 15 minutes and the Palins then responding.
