palin and the press

Published Jul. 1, 2009
Views: 576

I just listened to this almost painful interview with Mike Allen (from Politico) about the media hit piece against Sarah Palin in Vanity Fair.

Whether you agree with the premise from Vanity Fair or not, this interview plainly and painfully (for Mike Allen) demonstrates the lack of journalistic integrity with which the main stream media has covered Gov. Palin.

The audio clip starts with the interivew with Mike Allen on Morning Joe this morning.  It then moves into how that interview is dissected.

newsflash to Mike: you might want to either learn the sidestep shuffle or give an honest and accurate assessment of what is being written about palin.

I see what you mean by "painful".

Wow. It was like he was talking to a robot, programed with the acceptable template of answers and he used those answers no matter what the question was.

I don't know what is going on with our "free" press, but what ever it is, it's scary as hell.

Interesting comments...obvious which ones did NOT even bother to listen to the clip, which spoke volumes.

Yukon, what has Palin done in Alaska that has all the newspapers up in arms?

i know this is a "way late" addition, but does anyone read Yukon's description of Palin at home and NOT think of John Edwards?

If you do not believe the articles and opinions you read there, try the Pennisula Clarion or the Nome Nugget. I think that just about covers all the major papers in Alaska. Oh, Ketchikan also has a daily paper, but I cannot remember the name of it, but I am sure they feel the same way about Sarah. Hey, we were SO DUPED, you guys KNOW, I was one of her BIGGEST SUPPORTERS!! That was until I realized how badly she had duped me and other good Alaskans. She used to come on my friend's radio show here in Fairbanks, but after the deal down south, she has came on by phone once. She will not come back on even with all his invitations. He was one of her biggest supporters as well. Today I heard him saying she should just go away too if she will not change her tune. She honestly has made a fool of herself with us. It is a crying shame, she could have done so much and been so good, but she let fame go to her head. I hope you are all well and are not wilting in that oppressive heat!!!

Hey T, I hope you are well. Man, that Mike Allen is an idiot!! He is also not a man. A MAN stands up for what he says, and he would not do that. I, on the other hand, will stand up for what I say. I have told Sarah that I think she has disgraced Alaska by the way she conducted herself in that campaign. Since it happened, she has done nothing but to further her political career. (which by the way, is over) There is no way she will get re-elected here as Gov. and if she were to try and seek national office, she will find herself the laughing stock of the country. She has totally gone away from what got her into the office she now holds, and she has turned her back on Alaskans and we are just sick of her. It will just be a good thing when she fades away starting in 2010. She will lie, as she has with us, to any extent to further her cause and will let no one stand in her way. Look at the Fairbanks Daily Newsminer, or the Anchorage Daily News or the Juneau Empire.

"I also think she was unfit to be vice president or, god forbid, president." meh_whatever

And just what do you think we ended up with? I don't call running around and falling all over yourself throwing taxpayer's money left and right to pay off political supporters with whatever they happen to be whining for at the moment especially smart or sensible.

No Republican could have won after eight years of the Decider. When that became apparent, Gov Palin was a convienient choice to blame for their inevitable loss.

Some Democrat must have finally wised up enough to read the Republican play book and use the GOP's own tactics against them.

Becuase people make mistakes,not just politicians, This does not make them idiots, unless of course you are calling everyone who has made a mistake in their life, an Idiot. I'm sure you never have made a mistake or two in your life. (note sarcasim)

I think some of you are confusing ruthlessness with intelligence. ;)

Justin,

I also think the governor of South Carolina is an idiot.

LOL!

There are plenty of idiots in politics, or don't you watch the news?
