Its clear MSM has received their orders to hype Palin today
I turned my TV on this morning, And it sounds like Sarah Palin is going to cure world hunger today just as soon as she waves her magic wand and makes gas $1.00 a gallon.

The Republicans just know how to play the media. Every time they cry about the media being too tough or liberal. The networks feel the need to show they aren't. They do it every time McCain gets bad news in the polls. Or if the media actually questions his decisions or motives.

I know they want ratings tonight as well. But this is unreal

1. The national enquirer and US Weekly hit the stands with pieces on Palin this week.
Frankly, they are talking about more than that poor kid Bristol who the mom choice to exploit. From what I've seen, they are getting into everything. Look at their website.

And mom and pop, joe sixpack, soccer moms, etc.. will see it all displayed across the grocery check out aisles across america.

this will be palin's undoing I think. They made the mistake of not vetting this woman and all the info is out there for the taking.

2. I think they are trying to say it's all the Democrats' fault
that she had troopergate, babygate, 20 mil dollar debtgate because we researched her record?

3. It goes a lot deeper than "playing the media"
they do shit like pulling McCain from Larry King Live when one of their people (that Tucker dude) gets pressed about her qualifications. They do their playing at the highest levels of the media corporate structure.

I'd love to see some leaked MSM corporate email's that have got to be floating around.,

4. It's not about "knowing how to play the media", it's a matter of
owning the media.

5. Sell Mortimer, sell!
They have been trying to sell her in every speech given at the convention. I guess they figure they can sell the republicans anything if they put a cherry on top of it.....and for the most part, they are right. The Palin choice was a disaster, but any other choice would have been too, so they just sell what they got. She guarantees us the whitehouse, mark my words.

Twenty-nine percent of the American public would vote for a McCain/Satan ticket if they were told to. Throw in a $200 tax rebate, and they'll get another 5%. Republicans are stupid...George Bush is a prime example. They sold him to their base and they bought it lock, stock, and barrel. He has been the worst president in American history, yet 29% would vote for him again.
