How The Old Media Constantly Undermines Sarah Palin
Publius Forum ^ | 11/22/10 | Warner Todd Huston

Posted on 11/22/2010 8:04:03 AM PST by Mobile Vulgus

Most media-watching conservatives have simply been flabbergasted at how the Old Media establishment has so neatly come together to destroy Sarah Palin. The Internet has been abuzz with examples of this attack on Sarah since she was chosen by John McCain to be her number two during the campaign for the 2008 presidential election. Every day there is a new example of it and here is yet another one.

This time it was penned by a "TV critic" for the Washington Post named Lisa de Moraes. De Moraes is well known for constantly injecting left-wing asides into her work and her Nov. 19 attack on the Palins is no exception.

She misled her readers (all 20 of them, I'm sure) right off the bat with her snotty headline, "Sarah Palin tries to lure Bristol's huge 'DWTS' audience to her far less popular TLC reality series."

What is with this "her far less popular" epithet? This claim is not based in logic.

De Moraes went on with her accusatory rhetoric...

Just another example of how the Old Media tries to undermine Sarah Palin at every step.

More examples of the old media using both Palins to increase their own popularity.

I've got a question.

Why would you post your full article here, on Andrew Brietbart's "Big Journalism" but only excerpt it here on FreeRepublic?

If it's the picture, I don't think anyone will mind if you post it along with your full article, like this:



Or, maybe you'd prefer another "shot", like this one:

You seem to have omitted about half the blog posting.

Why not just post it here?

Funny, how the media is so utterly powerless against Palin.

Every shot they take against her just bounces back to them.

I think the bottom line is, Conservatives are usually independent thinkers, and will certainly not buy into anything the MSM has to say...about anything.

Conservatives will make up thier own minds about Sarah and the Palins, without needing the MSM to tell us what to think.

Moreover, the MSM is the liberals' shepherd and the libs will believe anything told to them by their government entitlement newsletters.

So except for a few MOR's (middle of the road), few people are going to be swayed by anything the MSM says about Palin.

The left has their mind made up for them, and the Conservatives aren't listening. So what it boils down to is the MSM is just reassuring the leftist bunch they are "hip" and that they join the elitist crown in the latest "fashionable" think to do..."Palin-Bash"

Sarah - the main victim of it all - seems to be handling better than many others.

The question is WHY IS SARAH PALIN SO UNBELIEVABLY THREATENTING TO THE LEFT???

The answer is that she threatens a reliable RAT voting block: women. That scares the living daylights out of the RATS!!! RATS cannot get elected nationwide with out a solid majority of women voting for them. However, more and more women are realizing that bigger, more intrusive government is disastrous. We should keep this in mind everytime they attack her. And it should be reported as the cause: OVER AND OVER. That’s how you defeat the bias. EXPOSE IT and kill it.

Yes, that is true. But the problem is that the media lies affect the opinions of the moderates and unaffiliated voters. THESE are the people that need to have the lies of the media pointed out to them.

Soros funded? You are delusional. You have several choices. Either make your material suitable and acceptable to our readers here, ignore your critics, or post elsewhere. Continue attacking our posters with your absurd delusional fantasies and you will be laughed off the site.

Big conspiracy, ain't it?
