If Sarah Palin had worn a neckbrace(ala Ted Kennedy) would she have gotten sympathy from the MSM?

Hmm,, Sarah Palin is blamed for murders in Tucson, she did not commit and no way connected to, by the MSM, but yet Ted Kennedy, whose own Oldsmobile was found with a dead woman in a Chappaquidick pond was heralded, as the "Lion of the Senate" by the same MSM.

The MSM is insane.

Yep, there is no "bias".

BTW, Joan Kennedy is also a victim of the Democrat party animus.

God bless her soul for what she had to go through.

I don’t remember a neck brace. It was more of a rib thing.

A fake rib thing... and they had to dig to find a size C for coward.

The rib brace was after Kennedy was in an airplane crash. The neck brace was later.

Young Teddy Kennedy - 1969

Ted's first experience with the agonies of drowning has haunted him ever since that shameful night when he drove off Dyke Bridge. He saved himself and left his companion, a young lady campaign worker, to die, trapped underwater in the car. He lied as only a Magic Kennedy could lie, got the Camelot treatment and copped a walk, but Chappaquiddick had sapped his Kennedy mojo. His life went into a self destructive spiral. Excessive drinking, womanizing and self-loathing liberalism, while perhaps partly genetic, were exacerbated by his tormenting memories of Mary Jo Kopechne's last horrible minutes of life.

On the other hand, Ted might just be a large, well-funded, alcoholic sociopath.

Yep. Especially way back then.

Money can buy a lot of good stories.

The Life cover ‘brace’ was after Teddy’s back injury in a plane crash, a few years before Mary Jo’s death brought out a soft cervical collar.

You nailed it. It's beyond bias, it is insanity. The screwy things the media focuses on boggles the mind. The country is going to hell in a handbasket and the media is saying how we must not say the magic words like killer, use the crosshairs graphic etc. A psychiatrist was on a talk show recently saying that magic words were a symptom of neurosis, where one afflicted doesn't say or think the "magic words", then something bad will not happen.

I really think there should be at least as many conservative channels on TV as their are laimstream. Maybe we should use Alinsky tactics (they are good enough for our President) on the lamestream sponsors until they agree to tell the truth.

These liberals are whacked.
