MEDIA: Liberal bias is unrestrained and obvious

I have learned listening to the mainstream media these last few days I've
learned a few things about the GOP's VP nominee but also had to learn a few
things on my own. To wit:

1. From the media I learned Sarah Palin's husband has a DUI conviction from
22 years ago.

On my own I learned that Ted Kennedy (hero of last week's tribute at the
DNC) was drunk while driving a car off a bridge in Chappaquiddick. That
same crash killed a young campaign volunteer with whom he was having an
affair. Oh, and that woman was pregnant with his child.

* Mr. Palin's (who is not running for office) DUI came a mere 4 years after
Barack Obama (who is running for president) stopped using cocaine and
marijuana (by his own admission in his autobiography). Shocking - it's OK
for the presidential candidate to use drugs or the party patriarch to kill
someone while driving drunk yet the husband of a VP candidate should be
demonized for something done 22 years ago.


2. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's daughter is pregnant.

* On my own I learned the Obama's mother was a unmarried street hippy in
Honolulu, Hawaii, when she conceived Obama.

* On my own I learned that Joe Biden's (the other VP candidate) son was paid
a large amount of money as a consultant to credit card company MBNA. That
same company had business before Senator Joe Biden concerning regulation of
consumer credit practices. After the company paid a hefty sum to Mr.
Biden's son, he voted in favor of legislation to help that company. That
same son, Hunter, is also engaged in a legal investigation and suit for
defrauding a former business partner. Shocking - it's a crime for the
republican VP candidate to have a child who's pregnant even though it's
irrelevant to how she performs her job. It's ok if the democrat
Presidential candidate's unwed mother to conceived him out of wedlock. It's
ok, however, for the democrat VP candidate while a senator to vote in favor
of a company who paid his son over a quarter of a million dollars.


3. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin should be considered 'selfish'
for agreeing to run for VP knowing about her daughter's condition. Knowing
that at her public role would bring extra scrutiny on the family is selfish
and she should have declined to protect her child (actually heard this on
ABC this weekend).

Strange - the same people who said Sarah is selfish for running for VP did
not seem to care about any impact on Chelsea when Bill Clinton had his
dalliance with Monica Lewinsky. That was a private, personal matter you
see.


4. From the media I have learned to be 'concerned' that Sarah Palin
probably won't be able to manage her family and do an effective job of being
VP at the same time.

Funny - I never heard anything about Hillary's ability to support
Chelsea while re-doing healthcare or any of the other feminist icons who say
you can balance work and family. They also never mention that Barack will
have to balance time with his children while meeting with heads of rogue
nations or how Joe Biden's kids don't even have a mom and will be fighting
for his time while he hosts white house coffee fundraisers and sells nights
in the Lincoln bedroom.


5. From the media I have learned that Sarah Palin is 'too inexperienced' to
be a heartbeat-away from the presidency.

* Apparently taking on corruption in your own party and running a state
that's the same size people-wise as Delaware (hint hint: that's where Joe
Biden is from) is not really experience.

* However, time spent as a 'community organizer' and less than 180 days in
the senate where you've authored no significant legislation is just the type
of 'change' we're looking for from the top of the ticket.

Funny - inexperience at the top of the ticket is a mantra for 'change' and
'hope' while strong practical everyday experience as the #2 is cause for
concern.


6. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin's husband once got a ticket
for fishing without a license.

* I haven't heard much about the fact that if he were still a practicing
attorney, the VP candidate Joe Biden would be disbarred for plagiarism not
once but multiple times. It's ok to break the rules if you' re a democrat
candidate but not Ok if you are the spouse of a republican candidate.

7. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin doesn't know much about Iraq;
in fact we wonder if she even knows where it is.

* Sarah's son volunteered into the US military and is now deployed in
Iraq. I guess that doesn't count. Sarah has spent more time with troops in
Iraq (as commander of the Alaska National Guard she visited Iraq last
year) than Obama has even while running for president. In fact, when Sarah
went to Iraq she spent time with the troops. When Obama went there, he
skipped a base visit to instead go work out at the Ritz Carlton.


8. From the media I learned that Sarah Palin is a 'lightweight' and she
better be a 'quick study' to keep up with this team.

Funny, nobody is talking about how, after Barack Obama had 'visited 57
states' according to him he only had '5 more to go' or endless other stupid
gaffes that expose who he really is.


9. From the media I have learned that (gasp!), Sarah Palin's husband was
once a registered member of a 3rd party that favored states' rights (man,
this is really bad stuff).

* That same media has been silent to the story that when Barack Obama
announced his first senate run, he did so in the home of William Ayers. Mr.
Ayers is an un-repentant terrorist convicted for bombing the pentagon. This
same Mr. Ayers said on 9/11 that he and his group did not do enough to harm
our military and he wished he had done more. During the same time as that
comment, he was serving on a board with Barack Obama. All notes and
information about their serving together is now locked up by the corrupt
Chicago machine and reporter access to those records are being blocked by
the Obama campaign.

If we've had any doubts about the bias of the media, it's pretty clear now
where they stand. Pass this on to some of your friends who are on the fence
and who get all their information from Katie Couric, Wolf Blitzer, Tom
Brokaw and the gang. This is egregious and corrupt. The only way to stop
it is to spread information using other outlets and make these guys
irrelevant.
