Sarah Palin, Republican Vice Presidential Candidate

[Beckwin]

holy shit great sig or greatest sig?

[Kuya]

To be honest, to say anything substantially negative about Obama, you'd have to reach quite a bit. Take McCain's ads against Obama for example; mostly shots aimed towards his popularity and or inexperience as insertwhateverhere.

John McCain: Born August 29, 1936

Date Alaska joined the United States of America as a State: January 3, 1959

John McCain is 23 years older than Alaska

Fantastic. I once again get to choose between being a sexist, or a racist.





Go World!

yeah krandor don't talk about "exteme liberal bias" if you don't pay attention to the shit, because you're showing that you aren't aware of who Joe Scarborough broadcasts for and who Bill Kristol writes for. let's not mention the general media asskissing during the early stages of the Iraq war, and let's definitely not mention the bullshit madrassa/rev wright/bill ayers/etc stuff this season.

Yes, MSNBC and to a lesser extend CNN lean liberal. Fox and radio in general lean conservative. Newspapers lean regionally; Newscorp has a strong print presence. Drudge is conservative and that's arguably the biggest internet political news site while politico is popular on the other side.

The TV News stations (aside from FOX News, but who watches that shit anyways?) have had an extreme liberal bias since the Clinton years...

cutting it off here.

three quick names:

Rupert Murdoch
Disney
Time Warner


the only TV news broadcast group that has anything even approaching a liberal bent is MSNBC, and that's only because they have positioned several shows -specifically- to target FOX with liberal alternatives. (and still carry several non-liberal shows: Morning Joe, etc.)

the fucking Associated Press is run as a propaganda arm of the republican party, so no bullshit about liberal media please.

politico isn't liberal either. (although it's not as bad as drudge) and CNN is owned by Time Warner, who is on the wrong side of Net neutrality and therefore; not liberal.

[Tyche]

O c'mon, CNN isn't liberal because they are owned by time warner? Are you fucking kidding. I guess ESPN is cartoony because they are owned by disney? CNN is pretty god damned liberal, they'll report on both sides, and not half as bad as fox, but they lean left. Your reaching really far to pull that out of the air.

[Xno Kappa]

Obama isn't experienced enough guys. If McCain wins he'll make sure he lives long enough to mold Palin in Bush's image. Seriously, Republicans are fucking incredible. They can spit in your face and then say it was a matter of national security afterwards and still win.

EDIT: People need to sftu about FOX, shit is just as credible as Wolf Blitzer is about licking liberal nuts. Meaning all media have their own agenda.

because a news broadcast agency that characterizes Clarke's question about McCain as "swiftboating" is really liberal right?

[Tyche]

Have you watched CNN over the past 5 years? Even Fox can criticize a republican, doesn't make them liberal. You're still reaching for straws. Or better correlation, you are reaching into a big pot of vegetable soup, pulling out a bean, and saying it's chilli.

[Daimen-G]

I can't understand how anyone can say "Liberal Media" with a straight face when the slightest Obama slipup makes top news on every single channel. I'm sorry, but I didn't hear much about John Hagee and "CATHOLIC CHURCH = THE GREAT WHORE, GAYS CAUSED 9/11", but Jeremiah Wright makes one speech that admonishes America and all of the sudden "BARACK OBAMA LOUIS FARRAKHAN BFFS?!"

[Tyche]

As I said, that has nothing to do with liberal media or bias (no clue why it was even brought up), but the fact that Obama has reached a rockstar celebrity status. Obama is both interesting and polarizing, therefore, everyone Liberal or COnservative or no Bias will cover him. He gets ratings. McCain had nothing polarizing or interesting about him. He's the least talked about major party candidate I can recall.

[Sagacious Sundi]

What is this shit? On 1 hand there's a partially black guy and a Catholic, and on the other one a woman? Dammit, America. You used to make me go "Fuck yeah!" but now you make me go "Fuck you."

Choosing Palin as a VP seems like nothing more than a desperate cry for attention to me.

There's a difference between Slander and Criticism.

how about 966 beans?[1]*



*disclaimer; yes, it's a 501(c) dedicated to exposing conservative misinformation in US Media; so it has a liberal slant. the point is, conservatives aren't going to go a station and say 'this has a conservative bent, that doesn't. etc' they're going to go to a station and point out the liberal bias of programs on stations like MSNBC. the facts are still the facts etc.

[Churchill]

I think Paul got the least media coverage aside from it being negative or slanted against him, but that was probably because he doesn't want to prop up Israel any longer.

If this bitch isn't a dumb or annoying cunt like Hillary this could be a good move. Hillary puts people off by just opening her mouth, that's not what McCain needs.

[Khamsin]

I don't think liberal or conservative media necessarily means favoritism during elections.

It means the kinds of things they report and the spin they put on it, not who they make look good or bad.

A scandal is a scandal, ratings are ratings. Obama or McCain, if they can sensationalize it, it'll go on the air.
