Mainstream Media Sarah Palin Bias: Dog Bites Man Story

Two More Examples of the Unbiased MSM:
Take the US magazine Bias Comparison Taste Test
New York Times: 3 Days, 67 Anti-Palin Articles




The Mainstream Media's favorite meme--other than Sarah Palin = AntiChrist--is that they are an unbiased news source. The anti-Palin MSM coverage is reaching frenzied heights--even for the MSM.

MSM bias is a 'dog bites man' story--to everyone but the perps in Big Media.

Hysience sums up the MSM 'reporting' on Sarah Palin with one image: the one pictured above. From Media Coverage of McCain/Palin:

In case you didn't know already, Us publisher Jann Wenner is a prominent Obama donor who also publishes Rolling Stone, which deified Obama in March. Michelle Malkin points out that "the use of the gossip rags to shape the election is all part and parcel of the Brangelina-fication of the Obamas that I wrote about earlier this summer. They are pulling out all the stops to glorify The One and demonize all who stand in his way.

Sixty-Seven and Counting...


Don Surber notes that once the New York Times gets a meme in its teeth, it doesn't let go:

The new New York Times mantra: Palin is no Hillary. In 3 days since Palin appeared, 67 New York Times articles have made that clear.

Palin’s not Hillary. Palin’s better. Palin didn’t accept bribes disguised as “cattle futures” money. Palin did not tolerate the serial sexual harassment of women by her husband as a means of grabbing power. Palin worked up from city council, and did not waltz into the United States Senate on her husband’s name. Palin can hunt, fish and help make a go of it in business.

Holders of the NY Times stock can't scream "SELL!" loud or fast enough.

Surber also notes:

Sarah Baxter of the Times of London, a good reporter, asked, “Will America fall in love with Palin or will she fizzle, like Dan Quayle, the vice-president to George Bush Sr who could not spell ‘potatoe’?

Don’t worry. Palin’s from Idaho. They spell potato before they learn the whole alphabet.

Baxter's also an excellent plagiariser, Times Online Stealing Blogger's Content.

We already remarked on US News & World Report's over-the-top piece, Sarah Palin, Hillary Attacks: Fear and Loathing in the MSM.

To catalog all the craziness would be a full-time job for a dozen MSM watchers.


PUMAs Roar; Anti-PUMAs Roar Back


We've received some comments along the lines of "Hillary Clinton supporters will never support Sarah Palin". It's also a big meme for the Mainstream Media.

However, one PUMA does see the MSM bias and remarks on it:

* New York Times corrects one lie, ABC gloats over trash

While one blog remarks sums up the Obama (and MSM) take on PUMAs:

* gluing
Which summed up Clinton's DNC speech, thus:

It was a fine speech, and hopefully some of that dumbass PUMA crowd will realize that voting for a candidate who holds the complete opposite views as their beloved HRC is utterly useless. Probably not. But I can hope.

PUMAs know.

It's all about presenting the "news" to US consumers in a fair and unbiased way.

Hillary Clinton Vs. Sarah Palin: Compare and Contrast

Hillary Vs Sarah
Nancy Morgan
Right Bias.com

Taking a line from Michelle Obama, for the first time in my life, I'm proud to be a woman.

I'm no feminist and I abhor identity politics, which tend to divide instead of unite. But seeing Sarah Palin yesterday stirred feelings I never knew I had. I couldn't help but contrast her with Hillary.

Consider: Hillary has spent her whole life in the quest for power. She is a political animal through and through, willing to do what ever it takes to obtain the highest office in the world. How galling to see a beautiful young upstart come out of nowhere and grab the acclaim that is rightfully hers. Hillary is finding out that life just isn't fair. Welcome to the real world.

Speaking of the real world, Sarah Palin is a life long member. No power hungry politico, she. Gov. Palin, by all accounts, is a woman who embodies the best of the female species. Experienced in real life, she is the epitome of what America stands for. She exhibits the traits that have made America great. And she does it effortlessly, because that's who she is. A mother of five, a wife, a conservative, a person who has lived life and succeeded at everything she has set out to do. That's what America is.

Unlike Hillary, Gov. Palin has never had the need to 'reinvent' herself. Unlike Obama, her message comes from the heart instead of the teleprompter. Unlike McCain, she is not a career politician. She has a life, and politics is a part of it. Kinda like the citizen legislators our founding fathers favored.

The difference between Hillary and Sarah was glaringly evident yesterday. Gov. Palin graciously acknowledged Geraldine Ferraro and Hillary Clinton for paving the way, for breaking the glass ceiling. Hillary, on the other hand, issued a tepid, "Congratulations." Scripted vs from the heart. Classy vs craven. Finally, substance trumps perception. Finally, proven merit trumps vague intentions and scripted sound bites.

Unlike Hillary, Palin has a history of practicing what she preaches. From taking on corruption in her own party and prevailing, to standing up for her principles even thought they weren't politically expedient. She governed Alaska not by polls, but by doing the right thing. Can anyone mention the last time Hillary did the right thing?

The experts opine endlessly on the risk McCain took in naming a relative unknown as his choice for VP. A look into a forum of Hillary supporters, however, indicates that the experts may have it wrong, once again. 99% of comments posted on Hillary Clinton Forum reveal Hillary supporters are already in Palin's corner. Ah, the fickleness of politics.

The barbs already winging Gov. Palin's way all have the word 'inexperience' highlighted. One need only look to Reagan to suspect that Palin's supposed inexperience could be a major advantage. When Reagan was running for Governor of California in 1966, he said, "I am not a professional politician. The man who currently has the job has more political experience than anybody else. That's why I'm running." Just so.

The institutional bias in favor of 'experience' is one of the problems with our current system. Most politicians are lawyers, experienced in working the system. Finally, along comes someone like Palin, who is more interested in making the system work than in working the system. I expect she will pose a genuine threat to the status quo, to say nothing of the 'good old boy' system. Sounds like change to me.

Her experience as an American citizen, mother, wife, Mayor and PTA member mean that all those people in flyover country, the millions of Americans who aren't part of the 'elite' might finally have found a voice inside the beltway.

Most politicians claim to speak for the common man. Sarah Palin IS the common man. And, thank God, she seems more than willing and able to speak for herself. And me.
