Media Bias on Steroids - Palin Derangement Syndrome (PDS)
The hysteria by the media over “Joe the Plumber” goes to Israel as a reporter and the interview by John Zeigler of Governor Sarah Palin (actually interview excerpts from his upcoming documentary)has the media spinning out of control. They are obsessed with the ‘perfection’ and wonderfulness of the Obami and his leftard socialist agenda and cannot tolerate the incursion of any popular conservative grassroots supported individuals whether that be for a politician or ‘average Joes’.
This self-destructive insanity by the media is unbelievable to my seeing eyes. John Zeigler writes about his recent round of media interviews - Reaction To My Palin Interview Proves The Point.
The reaction to the interview excerpts has been far more intense and far more deranged than I expected. Quite simply, the media response has done more to prove the basic point of the documentary than just about anything I could have produced in the film.
Here are just a few ways in which this episode felt like I had suddenly become Alice in Wonderland (without the dress or blond hair).
Governor Palin’s comments about being taken out of context were clearly taken out of context and her statements that they were being taken out of context were themselves taken out of context in a blatant, though thus far, unsuccessful attempt to turn the Governor and I against each other.
The Governor’s measured, rational and accurate attempts to correct the historical record about the basis for which a Presidential election was decided were “reported” by the left as being “whiny,” “catty” and “delusional.” Folks, there’s a reason why there’s such a thing as a war crimes tribunal; some things you just have to get to the bottom of.
Palin’s incredibly mild and humorous pushback against two very grownup media stars (Katie Couric and Tina Fey) who clearly had it out for her, helped destroy her candidacy and who benefited greatly from doing so, was somehow “reported” as an “attack,” “taking shots,” and “not taking responsibility.” Please. This is almost like ripping a Jew for making a Nazi joke (No doubt, THAT will also be taken out of context).
Both the vaunted New York Times and the tiny liberal rag, the Alaska Dispatch (it was difficult to tell them apart since neither bothered to contact me before writing very deceiving pieces), figured out a way to discuss everything about the interview excerpts except the primary issue, which, of course, was their own malfeasance during the campaign. It’s become patently obvious we’ve reached a point where, especially when you’re a conservative, blatant bias, combined with the incredible shrinking attention span of the media and public, make it absolutely impossible to get a message out that is remotely nuanced.

It’s equally interesting to read comments from which demonstrate the disease of Leftardism which is virulently affecting those supporters of the Obami. Here’s a choice comment in reaction John Ziegler’s story today:

Sarah Palin didnt run for President–McCain did. McCain lost–not Palin. By the way, if the Republicans want Palin in 2012, I don’t think you’ll find too many disappointed Democrats. A woman who doesn’t support woman’s rights is nothing short of a retard. Oh wait, that’s right. She’s got retard genes in her blood. And what a negotiator she’d be for our country. “Hey ladies, out of respect for human life you no longer have any abortion rights; but you can still send your sons to Iraq to fight for oil.” Now thats respect for human life! Then there was her appearance on Saturday Night Live–now that was Presidential! Chick is a walking joke and deserves to be.
This is the so called ‘tolerant’ left folks.
