I do wish the media would just stop reporting on Sarah Palin until she has something worth hearing.
Here's yet another (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/02/23/palin-media-was-on-a-search-and-destroy-mission/) one of her self-pitying interviews:
In an interview taped last month for conservative John Zeigler's new film "Media Malpractice," Palin said it is "very frightening, I think, what the media was able to get away with, this go-around.”
"’We are going to seek and we are going to destroy this candidacy of Sarah Palin’s because of what it is that she represents,’" the former vice presidential candidate described as the attitude members of the press adopted.
The movie, available on DVD for the first time Monday, chronicles press coverage of both Democratic primary campaign and the general election, and concludes the media was clearly biased in favor of Barack Obama.
“This is for the sake of our democracy that there is fairness in this other branch of government, if you will, called the media,” Palin also says in the interview filmed in January. “It is foreign to me the way some in the mainstream media are thinking.”How quickly we forget the adulation she got after her Republican convention acceptance speech. How fast we forget that she briefly all but one-upped then-candidate Obama as the darling of the media.
Of course, that was before she opened her mouth without a script. If she's serious about wanting her political career to go somewhere, recognizing that she comes across as a disconnected airhead would be a great first step.
It wasn't a plot to destroy her "because of what she represents" (and exactly what was that again??); it was a candidate in over her head, self-destructing.
That's why I say she's on the "Poor Me Tour". Seems like every interview she's given since losing has said, in one way or other, "It wasn't my fault. Everybody's picking on me!"
I won't even comment on the idea of yet another movie that claims the media have a liberal bias. :rolleyes: It's hardly the media's fault that Obama came across as magnetic and intelligent, and John McCain had all the excitement of a box of used Q-Tips.
