Someone Inform the Media Sarah Palin is Not Popular

[erpowers]

Today I watched the tail end of a discussion about the fact that Sarah Palin may have insulted Michelle Obama. Near the end of the discussion Gloria Borger, a CNN reporter/analyst, made the statement that both women were popular. Upon hearing that statement my thought was "no, both of these women are not popular only one of them (Michelle Obama) is popular". Possiblly realizing that some viewers might be upset at her (Borger) claiming Palin is popular she quickly restated her comment by saying each woman is popular in her own right. That comment is still wrong. Palin is not popular in her own right; she is just unpopular. According to the latest poll I have seen, Palin's approval rate is just 20%-25%. A person is not popular when they have a 25% approval rate.

1. She's managed to sop up Bush's backwash...

But for a lot of us, she has zazz in the form of train wreck appeal:)

2. the media is not our friend

[Whisp]

4. CNN is a cesspool of liars and fakers.

I can't believe that there are people here on DU that actually think CNN is a reliable news source, (when some fucker CNNer takes up some cause that they happen to support = bash Obama = then CNN is 'reliable')

holy fuck.

5. Indeed. Remember the phrase: "Popular war-time President"?

That was CNN for several years during the Reign of Chimpy, one of the most UN-popular pResidents ever.

CNN stopped practicing journalism long ago.

7. And as Bill Maher said on his show Palin is not popular with white women. She is popular with

white men's penises.

9. Popular and notorious are quite different.

And The Quitter is notorious, not popular.

10. She is popular with Republicans. In polls for next Repub Prez candidate...

she consistently comes in decently in the rankings. Sad but true.
