Media Puts Palin Emails Under Microscope- Yet Ignore Obama’s Missing Records
RealFeminist.com ^ | 06-10-2011 | Sheri Urban

Posted on 06/10/2011 1:30:41 PM PDT by montag813

The New York Times and Washington Post raised eyebrows this week by hiring a bunch of additional staff to go through every snippet of Sarah Palin’s emails as Governor – even asking the public to help them sift through every last syllable:

More than 24,000 e-mail messages sent to and from Sarah Palin during her tenure as Alaska’s governor will be released Friday. Join The Post in digging through them. We are looking for 100 organized and dilligent readers who will work alongside Post reporters to analyze, contextualize, and research the emails. Think of it as spending some time in our newsroom. Our hope is that working together, we can efficiently find interesting information and extract new stories that will lead to further investigation.

The Los Angeles Times announced it would be putting up an “online database” of this supposed treasure trove of correspondence from 2006 through her naming as John McCain’s running mate in 2008:

Today the state of Alaska released nearly 25,000 emails from Palin’s tenure as governor. Our team is in Alaska and scanning them in. They will appear on this page through the day. If you find anything we should be writing about, email a tip to documents@latimes.com

Curiously though, this same L.A. Times has – for 3 years running – repeatedly, despite numerous requests, refused to release a video it possesses of Barack Obama reportedly praising Palestinian radical Rashid Khalidi at 2003 Chicago dinner. The same Khalidi who has called Israel a “racist” state and who called suicide attacks a justified response to “Israeli aggression”. The same Khalidi who organized a 2000 fundraiser for Barack Obama’s unsuccessful congressional bid, and whose Arab American Action Network received a $75,000 grant from the Woods Fund of Chicago, while Mr. Obama served on its board.

Tim Kaine is running for Senate from VA. He was the Governor of VA so I think tit for tat is now on the table.

*and don’t even think of destroying them before we get them.

It was done because the Old Media is scared of her, because they know she can take their beloved Obama down.

Is there really anyone at all left in America who does not see with absolutely crystal clarity that the press are nothing more than flaks for the Democrats?

More importantly, if Palin gets elected it will change the politics of DC and that would change the media's role. For the media to be relevant again, they would need to learn to be objective investigative reporters, rather than democrat PR satellite offices.

Well the MSM did more investigating of Joe the plumber Wurzelbacher in 24 hours than they did of Baraq in 24 months.

Makes our task more difficult, but not impossible.

A title like that doesn’t inspire much desire to read the article. So, I won’t.

Whatever happened to class?

I once thought it amazing that a media that knew every detail of Tiger Woods’ sex life within 24 hours knows almost nothing about Obama. Then, I realized that they probably know all there is to know about him and have to keep it quiet because they created him and must protect him in order to help push the progressive program for America.

Makes us more confident that there are no skeletons in the closets of our candidates.

Democrats basically know that their people have a lot to hide and a lot to fear. In many cases, it's only a matter of time till the truth comes out.

So true. I want them to personally examine the actual, certified, hard copy of the long form birth certificate. I want them to investigate why obama is using a fraudulent SSN. I want them to investigate the sale of his senate seat as well as his ties to Bill Ayers. I want them to investigate his ties with Rezko. I want a thorough investigation of the liar in the white house before he runs for a second term. I want them to do the diligence they neglected to do the first time around.

It seems some journalists are so busy covering UP REAL scandals, they needed volunteers to look through these emails hoping to create a scandal.

The media is angry with Sarah because she’s a feminist’s dream, but she’s conservative.

Sarah schooled them and embarrassed them in the Paul Revere thing (which resembles the way Christine O’Donnell was smeared and lied about over the First Amendment) and Politico just flat-out lied about Sarah and got caught at it, so now it’s payback time.
