The Villagers on CNN Want to Make Sure No One Blames Palin for Arizona Assassination Attempt
By Heather
Video @ link~


The Village was out in full force yesterday, making sure that no one dared to blame Sarah Palin and her map of targets for the attempted assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Heaven forbid we might be allowed to ask if the woman who has been using elininationist rhetoric since the presidential campaign might be held accountable for the general political climate in this country that has made overt racism, hatred and bigotry mainstream.

These pundits know they've completely fallen down on their jobs for the last two years with the way they've covered the right wing and they're giving themselves cover here as well. They've been more worried about sucking up to power than letting anyone know that one of our political parties has allowed the inmates to take over the asylum. And even after someone's been shot, they're still giving Palin cover for her over the top, dangerous rhetoric.

2. NBC News actually had a pretty good segment last night...
Of course, they did not BLAME Palin (which they can't) but it does mention her and shows her cross-hairs map, and makes a good connection.

3. CBS talked of the current political climate both Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
They did mention the Palin target poster as well as the angle comments.

The entire episode of CBS Face the Nation was dedicated to the current climate: The video can be seen here: htp://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7228146n
