Media bias interview with Sarah Palin
Modern Conservative ^ | January 08, 2009

Posted on 01/08/2009 10:24:36 AM PST by thinkingIsPresuppositional

John Zeigler wants to America to remember "that the media assassination of [Sarah Palin], her character and her family was one of the greatest public injustices of our time." He's absolutely right, of course.

Zeigler did an interview with Palin earlier this week. Here are some excerpts in . . .

video . . .


and text . . .

ON OVERALL MEDIA BIAS AND REPORTS THAT SHE MAY NOT BE THE REAL MOTHER OF HER SON TRIG

Governor Palin:
“When did we start accepting as hard news sources bloggers – anonymous bloggers especially? It’s a sad state of affairs in the world of the media today, mainstream media especially, if they’re going to rely on anonymous bloggers for their hard news information. Very scary.”



WHY DIDN’T SHE TELL KATIE COURIC WHAT SHE READS?

Katie Couric on David Letterman:
“Even in the post election interviews, Dave, that she’s done no one has asked her that question.”

Governor Palin reacting to the clip:

Because Katie, you’re not the center of everybody’s universe, maybe that’s why they didn’t think to ask that question when there’s so many other things to be asked.


DID MEDIA “CLASS BIAS” CAUSE A SARAH PALIN’CAROLINE KENNEDY DOUBLE STANDARD?

Governor Palin:
“I’ve been interested also to see how Caroline Kennedy will be handled and if she’ll be handled with kid gloves or if she’ll be under such a microscope also. It’s going to be interesting to see how that plays out and I think that as we watch that we’ll be able to – perhaps be able to prove that there is a class issue here also that was um, such a factor in the scrutiny of my candidacy versus say the scrutiny of what her candidacy might be.”


HOW WOULD HER CANDIDACY HAVE BEEN TREATED BY THE MEDIA IF SHE WERE A DEMOCRAT?

Governor Palin:
“…had I been chosen perhaps to run as a reformer on the Democrat ticket, we would have seen an absolutely different and um I think, if you will, a much prettier profile of Sarah Palin and the Palin family and my administration.”

Unfortunately, MSM does not apologize, even when glaringly, obviously proven to be in the wrong.

This illustrates the necessity to undermine the MSM and boyHitler regime at every possible turn.

Why pretend the bias has anything to do with anything but Palin's conservativism?

They don't see anything wrong at all. Everything they did, every single word, every gesture was planned and deliberate. And it worked to their satisfaction. They will never disown success.

Hey ...Sarah Palin took the first swings at the media, and on the national stage to boot. And we all cheered and said hell yeah!

But...like the old addage about starting a fight with someone that buys ink by the barrel... it set a tone for the hardballs.

However it soon went out of control with not one single media group except Fox drawing a line at what was exceptable journalistic practice.

I just wish she had have been more experienced at fighting back and not been muffled by the idiot McCain.

He is a detestable POS and I hope will forever be remembered as such.

“This illustrates the necessity to undermine the MSM and boyHitler regime at every possible turn.”

Just never allow the MSM to disassociate themselves from Obama. They put him there. When he screws up, or more importantly, when we are next attacked, the MSM cowards will try to put distance between Obama and themselves.

Conservatives should NEVER let them do that. We should always refer to them as the “pro-Obama” media, or the “Obama-supporting media ...”

They are welded to Obama like cojoined twins. We must use that against the media at every turn, for every issue, for every gaffe Obama makes, for every economic and foreign-policy downturn that happens.

Never let them wiggle away as they are sure to try when things go badly.

What they did to her was no worse than what they tried to do to Joe Wurzelbacher (sp?) “The Plumber.”

Sarah at least was a candidate; Joe just asked B. Hussein an embarrassing question.

I do not want them to apologize!

All I want is for them to be exposed for their lies, totally discredited, and to simply go away.

They are doing a pretty good job of the last suggestion.

This is a consequence of being Un-American Traitors.

If that wasn’t enough, when she looked at the back cover of my first film (“Blocking the Path to 9/11” www.blockingthepath.com) and saw the photo of one of the film’s targets, Keith Olbermann, she literally let out a shriek and, pointing to his photograph, declared, “THAT guy is EVIL!”

Yep, she certainly gets it! Go Sarah Barracuda!

Correction.

Joe just asked Obamative Action an honest and direct, relevant question.

The stumbling, groundless BlackGoofus fumbled into an embarrassment all on his own.

Success circa 2009 means sucking up. Suck up for success. The mainstream media will not only be bailed out, they'll be patented. In the genuine, old-school, sense of that word "patent". Obama, His Majestic, will deign grant the media sole rights to public publications -- such a grant by the Emperor is called a "patent". Think of it as an expansion of McCain's CFR.

Only the licensed may speak, and you are not eliigible for a license. Oh, but we will tax you to subsidize the media, and we will force you to subscribe.

What a Brave New World Order!

I wish I was was just over-imagining, but every hour these things draw nearer.

"...the idiot McCain.

He was already known as such before this election cycle.

His behavior and his failure were perfectly predictable.
We all crossed our fingers and hoped against hope that he'd win, but his loss was certainly no surprise - nor is his current behavior in Congress!

"Unfortunately, MSM does not apologize, even when glaringly, obviously proven to be in the wrong. "

To expect anything honorable, decent, and truthful from the Mainstream media is like pissing in the Mississippi river and expecting the water level to rise.

Yes of course: “embarrassing answer” is what resulted - the question was only embarrasing in that it took direct aim at The Anointed One’s lies...

GO Baracuda GO!

She has worked in journalism and the media, and she is one of US.

Precisely.

A pretty incisive query from a “lowly” plumber.

But then, maybe he’s an Ivy League plumber who learned at an “elite” trade school.....
