Sarah Palin: CNN apology not accepted
Breitbart News via FoxNews ^ | 10/25/2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 10/25/2014 12:32:28 PM PDT by Dr. Thorne

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blasted CNN and anchor Carol Costello for apologizing to Politico instead of directly to her family after Costello told her audience to "enjoy" a frantic audio tape of a young woman (Bristol Palin) telling police that an adult man assaulted her.

Costello, herself a domestic abuse victim, found the audio tape hilarious. She apologized but refused to do so on the air or directly to the Palins. CNN, the network that essentially accused Palin of inciting an attempted murder without any evidence after Gabby Giffords' shooting, gleefully reported on the gossip previously and was even shamed by its own media reporter.

Feminists hate Sarah because Sarah hates abortion. Infanticide is the entry level sacrament for practicing feminist banshees.

Forget Palin kids, and lets dwell on Biden’s son, the US Navy cocaine user. CNN is asleep on that one uh?

Forgiveness only follows contrition. Costello, in my very humble opinion is not the least bit contrite. She has done this crap before, AND she didn’t apologize to Palin. AND she only did it when she got a boatload of negative feedback.

An “apology” is only an apology when it’s personal and sincere and steps are taken to make amends. Anything else is just a self-serving and manipulative confession meant to paint the confessor with the brush of victim.

Sarah was right on spotting and rejecting such ill-cloaked misdirection.

I can’t figure out why she wasn’t fired two minutes after that presentation.

Well said. That is horrible but true.

Because feminism has never been about improving the lives of women.

It has always been about reinforcing the feminists’ own sense of victimhood. It’s how the feminists explain their own disappointment with life. Successful women who achieve success without resorting to feminists tactics are especially toxic to feminists because they threaten to deconstruct that entire worldview.

“The network is circling the toilet anyway.”

They were cancelled from Dish Network. One more channel I don’t need to skip over. CNN is worthless. No viewers, no real news and no class.

This turned out to be a useful thread for outing ‘FReepers in name only’.

They hate it when Palin defends herself and her family: a clear sign of darkness in the mind.

Not a cult of personality at all. Nope. Not one bit.

Her truthful reply could be that one, the apology wasn’t made to her, and two, she gets to be the judge of the sincerity of said apology, and CNN has given more than enough reason to doubt their sincerity.

I’m not puzzled. She did it while living her conservative principles, instead of hating men, killing her unborn children, and demanding reparations from people who had nothing to do with her socio-economic status in her humble beginnings.

So I am constantly puzzled at why the feminists and liberals tend to denigrate Sarah Palin, when she has so clearly achieved what they say they want for women.

SP has a different Spirit than her detractors. Think about it and I believe you really already know that the battle isn't against her; it's against Who she represents. Easy that way to see how sides are taken.

It’s not even about feminism, in the bigger picture, it was about identity politics, were which useful for using as a tool to undermine Christian morality.

CNN is the Ted Turner news,well not really news, just communist bullsh#t network.
Apparently Turner broadcasting is having a pissing contest with the Dish Network and all of the Turner channels have been removed from the line up.
NO great loss; to bad, so sad.
The only one I ever watched was the Classic Movies anyway.

**** excellent**** You have made the statement of the day.

She is the image of those CNN hates : those who love God, love home and family and love this land.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm convince leftists, maybe 60% of them, live only to create envy and strife in others. They can't stand that others are happy and productive with out screaming 'what about those people over there' . They can't bear that anyone is happy if they are not and generate argument whenever there is none.
