The media is trying to rehabilitate their reputation so that that later they can attack her and pretend to be “fair and balanced”.

That is the way Governor Palin rolls.

Trust me on this

Some of ‘tha brutha’s’ are thinking Sarah Palin Presidency might not be so bad now that there is a rumor she had sex with a black man and “she likes her some chocolate’

How do I know this? I know people... in ‘the hood

I think Doonesbury has always been a hater cartoon. I remember the days of Nixon... I didn’t mind it then, because I was a young foolish democrat and in my 20s.

Now that the enemy has crossed to their side, Palin’s fans don’t quite seem to know what to do..

What makes them think - we think they crossed to our side? LOL! They are just looking for their 15 minutes of fame of credibility. And that 15 min is already up.

GO SARAH - they want to be your friend because you succeeded in spite of them! Now they are back to the drawing board.

I want to know who paid for Joe McGinniss’s book?

My guess if some one digs into it, you will find the 0 2012 campaign is behind this transparent political smear job.

Look at the accusations. The smears are all calculate to drive a wedge between Palin and the "tea party". About the only smear they DID not put into it was "Sarah Palin had a lesbian affair". This smear job will not work with the real tea party, but it is carefully designed to discredit Palin with the caricature of the tea party the crazy Left thinks exists.

Supposedly, in wacko Leftist land, the tea party is a bunch of racist intoleratnet old white purtains waving bibles and buring crroses. so they send out this slime bag to write a book that will punch all the supposed "hot button" issues of their imaginary tea party folks.

“all of a sudden, the lamestream media is coming to Sarah Palin’s defense.”

They obviously think she can be defeated. Why else would these leftist a-holes now start defending her. Perhaps they have some ‘dirt’ on her that they’re saving up.

The LSM hasn’t all of a sudden gotten concerned about fairness, they’re up to something. They’re still a rotten bunch of leftists who can’t stand conservative women , or any conservative for that matter. Nothing has changed.

The LSM is scared silly about Perry. They think he could beat Obama handily, and are wishing to keep Palin viable and encouraged, hoping that she will run, and that she and Perry will cripple each other in the primaries and caucuses.

I wonder if the LSM is trying to seem to be relevant. They won’t be able to keep the charade for long. There is too much infestation of leftist hatred in their ranks. They’re up to something.

I think kevkrom’s explanation is correct. Occam’s Razor: the simplest answer is most likely the correct one.

“The simplest answer in this case is that the left-wing media is annoyed by the amateurishness of the recent attacks, and their too-early timing. They have to condemn them to protect their own reputations.”

Plus, the MSM is starting to fear they have gone over the top, and are worried about a backlash.

I think the media have realized that too many Americans are turned off by Liberalism’s hate and nastiness. The media wants to project a softer image leading up to election time. If Obama is re-elected, then its back to brutishness as usual.

I have an even simpler explanation as to why the MSM is easing up on Palin - they figure she’s not going to run and want to turn their spite and bile on the actual GOP nominee.

FWIW, I think they think she can’t win against obama, so they want he as the nominee. Of course they better be careful what they wish for.

This feels like a left-wing version of “Operation Chaos”.
