A question about sources and media bias.....


Why were many right wing pundits and MSM critics upset that the L.A. Times was keeping footage of Obama at a banquet under wraps?

And yet there is no outrage over several media outlets including Newsweek and FOX news for keeping "game-changing" details about Sarah Palin out of public view until the election was over. (temper-tantrums, stunning ignorance, lying about clothes, friction with McCain, etc.)




The media had documented proof relating to the competency of a potential VP to a President that was going be 72 years old on inauguration day! Yet there isn't even a discussion as to the journalistic ethics behind their censorship!



Am I missing something here?




What next? Are we going to find out that McCain was secretly dying from his 5th bout of Cancer while on the campaign trail?
