I'm sending this to all the major news outlets
Not that it will do any good, but I think it had to be said.



I have to say I'm dismayed at the non-coverage of Sara Palin's well documented association with the secessionist Alaska Independence Party. Now, when the Reverend Wright tape surfaced, we had virtual non-stop coverage of the Rev saying "God damn America", over and over and over.



Now, we have Ms Palin running for the VP's office and should she be on the winning ticket, she'll be an old man's heartbeat away from the most powerful office on the planet.Don't you think her "God Damn America" moment deserves as much attention as Barrack Obama's?



For once, please be fair in your coverage. The American people deserve no less, this is no time to lob softballs, there is too much at stake.



thank you

3. The MSM will never be fair and balanced. No matter what channel you are watching. The days of real
journalism are dead. It's all about the money and the ratings.

5. I know
I just had to get it off my chest, I can't stand it anymore. It's unequal coverage any way you look at it and it's just maddening. :mad:

4. Double Standard
Thanks. I agree.

Imagine if Senator Obama:

had a pregnant daughter?
congratulated secessionist?
billed the state for staying at home?

Fox news would be all over it and people would be outraged!

6. What the hell?!?!?!?
A person who wanted her state to seceede from the US is now almost a VP? How in the hell can anyone vote for such a person as VP? How the hell could anybody let her get that close?

7. they could vote for her
if they don't know because the major media, at best, made a passing reference to it, then swallowed the bullshit fed to them re: the subject and moved on. This crazy woman is just a degree or two short of Tim McVeigh at best and the media simply won't report it. :grr:

8. Really?
Is he really that f'n crazy that she wants the union destroyed? Gosh, where we would be if Alaska was in Russia, because that's where Alaska would be if it weren't in the US.

You mean she wants Russia to have control of Alaska? Ya know, she does look a little Russian.

10. I thinks she's too stupid
to know what she wants. Ms Betty Lou from the Cut-n-Curl beauty salon somehow became the Gov of Alaska, then gets the VP pick. She's in so far over her head it's pathetic. She's a willing tool for anyone who would use her. Scary, scary shit. :scared:

13. A willing tool
People like that are dangerous anywhere you find them.

Heard a rumor that if she does make it to the WH McCain had better watch his back, 'cuz she'd let nothing keep her from ultimate power. Heck, she's willing to sacrifice her motherhood to get to the top. Over ambitious, eh?

12. I have a similar problem with "occasion": I remind myself, there's no "ass" in the "occasion".

16. MEDIA MY-ASS (BIAS)
THE MEDIA IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE UNFAIR COVERAGE OF OBAMA AND BIDEN. THEY BRING UP OBAMA SPEAKING AND SHOW PICS OF MCCAIN AND PALIN. MOST THE TIMES WHEN THEY ACTUALLY HAVE AN ISSUE ON MCCAIN OR PAL PAIL, THEY SWITCH IT OVER TO QUESTIONING ABOUT OBAMA. WHAT A PILE OF BULLCRAP. THERE I SAID IT! THEY ARE FAILING TO GIVE COMPLETE INFORMATION THAT IS OUT THERE. THEY GIVE MORE AIR TIME TO MCCAIN'S SPEECHES, ETC....WHAT A PILE OF CRAP. THE MOST TIME THEY GAVE TODAY WAS ON RACISM . BULL BULL BULL. THEY ARE TOTAL LOOSERS AND THE TALKING HEADS ARE TOTALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR PUTTING UP WITH IT AND FOLLOWING ORDERS. THE "TALKING HEADS" ARE COMPLICIT IN THE RUIN OF THIS COUNTRY. THE "MEDI OUTLETS OF MAINSTREAM" IS COMPLICIT IN THE DESTROYING OF THIS COUNTRY, OUR CONSTITUTION AND EVERYTHING IT STANDS FOR.

COULD NOT GET ON THIS SITE TODAY BECAUSE OUR MAC WAS HACKED.
