Do You Think the Media Has Been Unfair to Sarah Palin?

Or do you disagree with this? Either way, explain your position.

What do you mean by unfair? Could you provide a little more narrow a field so we can answer?MattUD1

Is it their fault that they broadcast her complete hilarious, creepy and bad choice of words?

No, The media is supposed to show the mass what is going on.

Unfair to her in what sense?

Yes. She is the VP possibility and even a potential Presidential candidate in the future. This is a milestone in American history and yet because she isn't a "Liberal Woman" (and because she's against the anointed one: Obama) she's being torn down at every opportunity. thardus317

oh really, care to give examples other then her own interviews/words that are what make her look bad?

She makes herself look bad. The media should be more harsh on her interviews.

Just wait for the Vice presidential debate.

It will be comedy gold.

An SNL skit? Have we reached the point that ANYTHING other than repeating what the candidate wants to hear qualifies as "unfair" or something?

[QUOTE="MattUD1"]What do you mean by unfair? Could you provide a little more narrow a field so we can answer?Link256

I know someone has a Daily Show bit where it talks about how Palin is being "unfairly" treated as a candidate and the double standards. And those photo's are fakes, by the way.

You do realize I was critcizing Palin, not commending her?

[QUOTE="MattUD1"]What do you mean by unfair? Could you provide a little more narrow a field so we can answer?Link256

if she cant handle SNL, god help her is she becomes the actual VP, The Daily Show alone will destroy her. As for attacks on her family, people like Bill OReily were all for it when it came to Brintey Spears sister, I mean this isnt a new thing. As for the bathing suits, I havent seen any of that on the news, only on video online, media has nothing to do with it. All this attention and "attacks" you think she is getting will go up ten fold if they get into office.

I am just thankful that we have fair and balanced people like Sean Hannity who can give real honest interviews like he did with Palin.videogamer456

I think some people that hear anything but what they want to hear cry bias and such.

Yes and no.

Going after her credentials and knowledge of the issues is fair, but we should do it of ALL the candidates, not just Sarah Palin. Going after her family was absolutely disgusting to the point I wasn't even watching the news anymore. You start to see why good people don't go to Washington anymore. If your "not one of them" they'll bury you.

Those interviews didn't help her at all. I think with time she could be a pro and really rally the base.

I was joking :(

I hope so. But sadly there are people out there who actually like hannity:o

I would say yes. I'm not sure how many of you read the paper, but there have been a slew of negative articles from the AP on her ever since she got the VP pick. I haven't seen a single one that had a positive slant or was even neutral. Here's a recently run article. The headline says that Palin got zoning aids and gifts. The gifts? Flowers, a facial, and fresh salmon. This is a scandal how? I've seen tons of articles like this on Palin that act like they're revealing dirt only to boil down to junk reporting like this. Palin getting a special zoning exception to sell her house as an outgoing mayor gets reported, but Obama's shady housing deal with Rescoe doesn't get a peep from the media.

As I said man, good people don't go to Washington anymore cause if "your not one of them" they'll bury you, your family and anything else they can get their hands on.

Its down right disgusting, and I wonder how our founding fathers would feel about it.

[QUOTE="duxup"]I think some people that hear anything but what they want to hear cry bias and such. Link256

Pretty much. Their campaign's job is to win over voters for them, not some media organization.

I think yes. Even if Obama done what he must do as Palin, they would do so.kono11

What??? I'm guessing that you're saying that if Obama gave terrible interviews, and had no foreign experience whatsoever, and acts like a idiot than the press would treat him the same way.Oh and BTW PALIN BELIEVES DINOSAURS AND HUMANS COEXISTED

Round of applause for John McCain's running mate. she'll bring change for sure.

No ones going after her family. They are going after an issue she is tied with that has a direct connection with her daughter. Her daughter is pregnant despite all the, abstinence crap Palin wants to push. And yea, Palin is so pround of her daughters "choice" to have the child, but if Palin had her way, there would be no choice, this issue with all the Palin lovers are saying is a private family matter only consider it so when its not their family. They say stay out of Palins private family matters, but she wants to get all up in ours and tell women what to do.BlueTimber

Thats NOBODY'S business but her family's. You have no right to judge her and her family. God forbid you actually look at the skeletons in your closet.

She doesn't want to get in your business. She has a certain way of viewing things and thats it. Her daughter didn't follow what she preached. And? This is news how? How about we go after Al Gore's drug addict son? OH WE CAN'T DO THAT! But going after Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter (I'm referring to the 2004 VP Debate) or going after Sarah Palin's daughter? Oh thats fine, cause they deserve it.

And then accusations that her youngest son with down syndrome is the love child of her DAUGHTER AND HUSBAND!?!?!?!?

Listen, I don't think the woman is qualified to be VP either, but lets be real for a moment. If you don't like her, BEAT HER ON THE ISSUES, not because he daughter got pregnant.
