'Creepy': Early Show Guests Rip MSM's Palin-Email Goose-chase
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 06/11/2011 6:45:47 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

If the current weather in Hades is anything like what it's been here in Texas lately, you wouldn't expect it to freeze over anytime soon. But could a cold wave down below be on the way? The question arises in light of today's Early Show on CBS, in which all the guests queried ripped the MSM for its frenzied thrashing through the Sarah Palin emails, released yesterday.

First up was ABC legal correspondent Jan Crawford who criticized the "spectacle" of the New York Times and the Washington Post ripping through the emails and even enlisting citizen researchers to help them discover something damaging to Palin. Observed Crawford: "at the end of the day this email rlease may say a lot more about the press and its views than it does about Palin."

In the subsequent segment, John Avlon, while admitting he was no Palin fan, was even more colorful in his criticism of the MSM frenzy, calling the MSM reaction "indecent" and "creepy."

I assume these people are smart enough to know this witch hunt will backfire. Nobody will buy the spectacle of a whorehouse sitting in judgment on a church.

How about the MSM digging into Zero and Moochelle’s Social Security numbers? How about the MSM digging into Hussein’s eligibility? How about the MSM digging into Hussein’s ties to Tony Rezko? How about the MSM digging into the details of Hussein and Soros?

You think Sarah and her team are sitting at home laughing at what they caused the msm to do to themselves? Complete and total loss of credibility. The Left is just catching on to it.

"at the end of the day this email rlease may say a lot more about the press and its views than it does about Palin."

The emails tell me that she is ethical, very very ethical. That says a lot more about her than is says about the LSM to me.

Call me skeptical but this is the MSM excuse now not to cover how great the emails are by saying “it’s creepy so we are choosing to no longer look into them”.

Totally agree. This reminds me of how bullies react when, after picking a fight with someone they think is weak, they suddenly realize that they are in way over their heads, and that they are about to get there a$$es kicked. This realization usually leads to them making some flippant comment about how stupid the person they picked the fight with is as they hurriedly walk away.

LMAO!!!

You mean, but for the fact that they've been buying it hook, line, and sinker for three years now. Still, that's one of the funnier lines in the pantheon of Palin-isms to date.

So beautiful, and graceful and dignified. Guess which one?

Has the press ever asked to see even a single one of Obama's emails?

Do we know if he ever 'really' went to any college at all or if he has ever graduated from anything?

As far as I know, Obama could not even write an email.

What are these gutter scum doing in the White House?

It's why they covered the Weiner story out of habit but really didn't see where he'd done anything wrong.

Jan Crawford is also openly pushing Michelle Bachmann over Sarah Palin.

Haven't hung out at DU lately, have you?

Or the Free Republic threads devoted to trashing Mormons, Catholics or other non approved religions.
