Doesn’t have to be fair or factual, just has to enable the headline “Palin abused power.”

Is this a judges “opinion”?
I wonder how long ago this opin was prepared?

Until that moment, Commissioner Monegan never realized it was indeed a photograph of Trooper Wooten.

WHAT!?! He's a sneaky lying piece of slime.

Since the MSM has been running with the “Palin abused power” narrative anyway, there isn’t much more “damage” the MSM can inflict with this non-story.

There are 4 seperate opinions, November 13, 1986, August 24, 1998, April 3, 2007, and June 21, 2007.

So my layman’s reading of all this is that ‘tis much ado about nothing, yeah?

“Doesn’t have to be fair or factual”.

Apparently it doesn't even have to be internally consistent. The first conclusion says Palin abused her power in violation of a statute. The second says she acted within her authority. Nobody with an IQ in double digits can take this seriously.

Absolutely and of course this is this morning’s headline even Sky News in Britain is carrying this statement on the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

Those who have not followed the story or read the actually ruling will believe she is either corrupt or behaved in a biased manner.

Violate scope not law? Only someone with a law degree could reach such a conclusion.

Yep but the world media will play on it for the next 26 days. Both Sky and BBC in Britain are running with Palin accused of abusing power, to be fair when they then report the full story it is slightly different but how many people actually listen to the full report but read or hear just the headlines/sound bites

Radio New Zealand is playing the same thing, too — as a quote from the BBC. They did not report the whole story (predictably) only that she had abused power.

No worries, that’s what talkback is for. Easy enough to correct... that’s my homework for tomorrow.

It was funny last night - they didn’t spend too long on Troopergate - economy was still major focus...

This was a desperate attempt by the Dems to get people’s minds off of Obama and his radical connections and voter fraud. Sorry - not going to work.

this was the political witchhunt we always knew it was.

The damn MSM of course treats it as an indictment, but we know there was nothing here to see.

At least the report broke on a friday. If it was REALLY bad, they would have released it on a Monday.

Oh brother! There is a talking head on F & F, Obama supporter, just said "It proves McCain's lack of a vetting process re: Palin".

Do they really want to go there?

They are kicking and twisting like a felon hanged aloft trying to find a perch that just isn’t there. In due course they, too, will swing slowly in the breeze...

They fear her.

Here’s the bottom line: A group of political enemies announced that Governor Palin broke no laws but did things they didn’t like.

Anyone who says otherwise is a partisan liar.

That is the gist of a nationwide ad I’d immediately put on TV. Then I’d drop it.

What really does these people no good is that when people are curious and look into what was going on with the brother-in-law they find out about the death threat, tasering a 10 yr. old, drinking and driving his patrol car, illegally shooting a moose, etc. etc. I think this makes this all the more asinine and this ‘investigation’ was nothing but a sham by people who would have held high positions in the Gestapo.

I believe you are correct. I'll try to name some names: ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, AP. Possibly FOX. CNN's report looked the "fairest" last night from what I saw, but I'll throw them in for good measure. Add the NYT and most other newspapers.
