Doug Wead has a great read on the shark, er, "mainstream" media feeding frenzy going on over Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin.
From NewsMax:
When Jack Cafferty cornered poor Wolf Blitzer on CNN recently and showed the clip of the Katie Couric-Sarah Palin interview and then launched into his panicky, now famous, oxygen deprived rant — “Have you ever seen anything like it, ever? Have you? Wolf? You there Wolf? Isn’t this unprecedented ditziness? Imagine? A heartbeat away? Wolf? You home in there Wolf?” — most Americans could identify with the Wolf Blitzer freeze.
It is stunning to see the emotionally charged hatred of the media toward Sarah Palin. Of course, Wolf had seen such moments of ditziness. Ted Kennedy cannot do interviews well. His handling of handpicked, family friend, Roger Mudd’s softball question in November 1979 cost him the presidency. It was a moment far more deadly than Cafferty’s desperately hyped vignette of Palin and Couric.
Wead's piece not only points out the jackal-like behavior of the "mainstream" media over Sarah Palin, but the "special" treatment liberals get. And how, even then, many of them make a mess of themselves.
I've been watching "mainstream" media bias with an open eye for well over 20 years now. And I honestly think that--with the possible exception of the Clarence Thomas Supreme Court nomination hearings--I have never seen the "mainstream" media go this transparently ballistic before.
I hope the voters are watching with an open eye. If so, the "mainstream" media is helping to ensure a McCain-Palin landslide in November.
