** MSM IS ON FULL BLOWN PRO-PALIN "SPIN" THIS MORNING ...
Totally disgusing. Not one poll is in yet on what people think of this person, yet you'd think she just won the Presidency all by her obnoxious self.

What gives with the media? How can people not see how blatantly bias they are to the Republican agenda?

Dear God ... do they think we're that stupid?

20. Dude, I told people to mentallly prepare for this ...
I posted yesterday.

She would read a prewritten speech word for word.
It would have lots of red meat for the zombies in the crowd.
The Zombies would cheer.
The MSM would roll out the usual legion of right wing "strategists" who would compare her to Reagan.
The MSM would follow their lead and proclaim that she had passed her first big test with flying colors and that she was well on her way to proving her doubters wrong.

Gotta just ride it out and see how it REALLY sits with the country.

24. You are absolutely Correct!


I can't believe American's would fall for such a fraud.

I've got to believe we're a smarter people than that.

17. With all of the big storms in the Atlantic, I expect those stories to push everything else
off the news again.

4. Do you think they were "wounded" by the "sexism" charges?
That's what I think is going on, at least with most pundits. It will hopefully blow over in a couple of days. It will be hard for her to play the "victim of sexism" card again after (her delivery of) such an IMHO ugly and hate-filled speech.

5. That is actually good. The MSM have been wrong over 90% of the time
What content did the speech bring? Was there anything about healthcare, social security, medicare? Was there anything about people losing their homes, or those struggling in a difficult economy?

The MSM said Iraq had WMDs
The MSM said their was a connection between AQ and Iraq
The MSM said rudy would be the repuke nominee
The MSM said Hillary would be the Democratic nominee
The MSM initially said the Democratic Convention was terrible, and there was no bounce
The MSM is sooooooooooo impressed with the repuke convention

People are hurting out there, and what the republicans have done is ignored that hurt

Up to now there has been no substance from the republicans

The only thing they have done is reflect their true nature

Whoever wins in 2008, reflects the true nature of this country

7. BBC America got started early last night...
Matt Frei snidely mentioned 'the blogs' that said she lived in an igloo and ate only raw fish, and said they'd get a more balanced perspective, by talking to the people 'who know her best'... all they seemed to be able to find were people who thought she was great.

8. She read a speech written for her off a teleprompter.
Christ, if that's all that's required to be Vice President of the United States, anyone who can read is qualified to be Vice President.

10. They're practically performing cunnilingus on the woman.
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 09:09 AM by DangerousRhythm
It's sickening. Oh, I'm a mommmm so I think other mommmms will think she's wonderful! She's a REAL mother! She's an extraordinary mother of five! Well, whoop-de-shit, Joe.

Newsflash, MSNBC: ANY WOMAN CAN BECOME A MOTHER, naturally or through adoption. DOES not make her special, AT all.

UGH! How can I write to these morons? Last time I tried morningjoe@msnbc.com it bounced.

11. You smack them, and they get on their knees
as long as you're a Republican doing the smacking, of course.

This woman is politically and morally corrupt. Maybe they'll get around to that little angle of the story sometime.

12. McCain is bullying them and they are scared
So they have to show how balanced they are by being unbalanced. This drooling was expected and it is going to last for the next 48 hours.

15. What's up with Mica on Morning Joe!
She has turned into a kiss ass for the Republican Party. I can't believe her. She is spewing the Puma rehtoric every chance she gets. I just love the way she keeps saying that Palin was speaking to her last night. So is she saying that she loves attack dogs that don't speak to issues only hate?

22. And you're surprised because... why again?
They fawned all over Obama and our convention. They are doing the same for the RNC. this is how they get and keep viewers. Expect more jelly from the MSM.

Although, the reviews from the MSM over the DNC were over the top excited. The reviews I saw last night said all the over the top words, but they were delivered with a subdued, stilted, forced and awkward tone and body language. Even Pat Buchanan, who I expected to explode with glee, was merely kind of animated.

It was like they were giving lips service to the RNC so as to keep from being shut out, but clearly their hearts weren't in it.

23. Mika said she can really relate to Sarah
Raising and balancing her family and career so well, she was not being sarcastic either.
I had to turn it off and listen to Stephanie Miller.

25. "What gives with the media?"
At this stage, it's pretty well obvious.

TV people will say anything that they think their owners and editors want to hear.

27. They're PAID to do that. As evidenced by that open mic yesterday.
It's obvious that this liars will do whatever their bo$$es tell them to do. They think Palin is a snarky lightweight, but they can't say that out loud. Obviously McCain's temper tantrum worked. The woman READ a script written by and for someone else. BFD.

I hope the media does not have any daughters.. because through their greed they are helping to send women's rights back 100 years.

29. I feel like I'm in the Twighlight Zone
I can't believe how badly they're kissing her ass. Did they see something completely different then we did?

Here is the letter that I wrote to my local news channel's pundit:

Dear Mr. Curtis,

I watched your analysis of Sarah Palin's speech this morning and i have to ask, where did you find these people who were so excited about her speech? Were they all Republicans? Well, let me tell you this independent's view. I found her speech to be snarky, sarcastic, vicious and way too scripted. Did you bother to mention that she didn't even write her own script? No.

All these pundits are raving about her speech but the everyday people that I know thought her speech was terrible. She doesn't know how to read a teleprompter well and the contents were insulting and vile. I too am a mother - I have a teenage daughter. She shops? Takes care of her kids? Big deal! So does half of the population! Those are probably the ONLY things that I have in common with this woman.

I think you and the other pundits do a huge disservice to this country when you promote someone like this without giving any other facts about her background. Please stop putting your own feelings into this, get views from ALL sides and do some objecctive reporting.

Sincerely,
Dana Born
