Matthews: Media will destroy Palin if she wins in the primaries
HOTAIR.COM ^ | 07 JULY 2010 | ED MORRISSEY

This isn’t intended as a criticism of Chris Matthews or his statement about Sarah Palin; in fact, he’s exactly correct in this analysis. If Palin decides to run for President and scores big in Iowa, survives in New Hampshire, and can go big in South Carolina, she will have a strong lead for the Republican nomination. Actually, that’s not exactly news, since that’s also the strategy for Mike Huckabee and Tim Pawlenty (who is spending three days in Iowa), and anyone else seeking the Republican nomination. Matthews is also not wrong about what will happen if Palin manages to do it (emphasis mine, courtesy of Greg Hengler):

Just WHEN will we, the people, start demanding to know the personal info on the msm? Who is sleeping with who; who is gay; who is cheating on their wife/husband; who had abortions and how many; who is has what in their past; who is a muslin/atheist/sciencitologist/witch THEY ARE exactly what Jesus was talking about when he said “Judge not”

"The media will try to destroy her, of course."

And of course they'll do that to the democratic nominee too, huh Chrissy.

Matthews: Media will destroy Palin if she wins in the primaries

**********
Well, so much for the falsehood of an unbiased media.

They won’t even try to pretend anymore. Typical hypocrites.

Correct. The slimers gave Palin their best shot, volley after volley, and they came up empty. Palin is Tom Bombadil--free of the reach of the evil of Sauron.

Tim Russert had TWO personas, depending on who he was talking to......I’ve seen him be as awful as Spittin” Chrissy.

Does this mean that Matthews is longing for a continuation of the disaster known as the Obamanation?

The so-called news media is 100 percent predictable. What it does isn’t important. What’s important is what the public does to stop and reverse this socialist government.

Sounds like a threat to me, Chrissy-poo.

Exactly. He's not making a prediction. He's speaking as an arrogant insider who knows the game plan. Unfortunately for him, for every person who hears his annoying voice on MSNBC, there are 100 people who get their information from other sources.

Someone explain to me how, exactly the media will destroy Palin.

They will print slimy, unprovable (and unrefutable) innuendos.

They will print outright lies.

They print unflattering pictures of her.

They will refuse to print what she herself has to say.

They will extensively print what her enemies have to say.

They will print their own negative opinions of her under the guise of what "some critics" say.

For starters ...

What these fools fail to recognize is that there is a new Sheriff in town. It’s called an informed American electorate....

The informed electorate is hard right or hard left. There is still too many floating around in the middle who will follow which way the wind blows. Hopefully enough will wake up and turn right...

And since we know what they will do, we must begin now planning to counter it.

HotAir's title is inaccurate. Chrissy said the media would "try" to destroy Palin not that they would destroy her. What strikes me is the blatant admission by Chrissy that media will be gunning for Sarah. (Not that it's a secret to us.)

That's exactly what it is. I would love to see Sarah address this on FOX and call him out.

"Chris Matthews, are you not a big part of the MSM? Did you just threaten to destroy me? Bring it on TINGLES!"

Right and anything that does not kill her will make her stronger.

Not going to happen because people in America have had it with the Obama White House and the old MSM.

So what Crissy really wants is for Sarah NOT to run because she will be destroyed. Good try Chris but it won't work. Run, Sarah, Run. This is what they are afraid of:

I know they will try, and fail. But I worry Sarah will have some worst things thrown her way if she is leading. The Libs in this country no longer hide their intentions... The Unions and Radicals “BLACK PANTHERS” will do what ever it takes to have Obama win again.. Remember the “Ends justify the means” to these people.

They’ve tried throwing everything including the kitchen sink, the stove and the refrigerator at her. What’s left? The toilets?
