Thanks, Guys

The media's attacks on Sarah Palin backfire.

by William Kristol - September 15th, 2008 - The Weekly Standard

By the end of the week, after Palin's tour de force in St. Paul, the liberal media were so befuddled that they were reduced to complaining that conservatives aren't being narrow-minded enough. Thus, Hanna Rosin--who has covered religion and politics for the Washington Post, and has also written for the New Yorker, the New Republic, and the New York Times--lamented in a piece for Slate: "So cavalier are conservatives about Sarah Palin's wreck of a home life that they make the rest of us look stuffy and slow-witted by comparison." I suppose it was ungenerous of conservatives, in our broad-mindedness and tolerance of human frailty, to have let Ms. Rosin down, just when she was counting on us to bring out the tar and feathers. But she gives us too much credit when she suggests we make the liberal media look stuffy and slow-witted. They do that all by themselves.

Kristol is obviously having fun. There are two medias in the world today. The MSM, in the tank for the global socialist movement which Barack Obama so proudly represents, and Conservative media, represented by talk radio, some conservative publications . . . and a portion of Fox News. The MSM has embarrassed themselves in the last week. Some of them, like Sally Quinn, have even apologized. Most will not. Like Kristol, I am having fun right now. It doesn't get much better than this. If you really want to crack up, click here to see the list of 46 (at the time I posted this) lies about Palin that have been debunked. New lies are appearing hourly, so it is worth clicking on the link just to see how long the list has gotten!!!!



[Update - Amazingly, the list of lies is growing so fast that some of them have only appeared at this point on another bloggers posting here. Checkt it out too.]
