Here is another bombshell for you....the Soviet newspaper, Pravda......it wasn't ALL The Truth.
Of course I don't think the media's objective. But I think it should be. For an airhead like you, such an idealistic hope is meaningless, I get it. Go back to refreshing PerezHilton.com. I don't want you to miss any breaking developments.

Hmm, haven't read this in a while, but I think here's a possible job description:

My only point is they should do it fairly wrt to all parties, instead of becoming an instrument in the hands of only one party.

Everyone knows Biden the gaffe-o-matic. Palin is an unknown. If *I* was nominated to be the VP, I'd be an idiot to assume equal treatment.

This is the best counterargument, I agree. And so there should be a modicum of intensified scrutiny of Palin b/c we need to educate ourselves about her. We had to do the same with Obama, however, and I think we remember how that went . . . smooch, smooch, kiss, kiss.

I think it should be, as well. But it isnt.

I guess you feel that the loss of objectivity is a recent phenomenon. That really implicates you more than me. The media has always been biased.

If you are sick of the media trashing Palin, then stop reading the coverage of Palin. Pretty simple.

Of course, you keep showing an unsurprising lack of self-restraint, so my guess is that you are wholly unable to stop reading the coverage and getting incensed.

PS PerezHilton sucks. I read a different site.

LOL. You've been watching too much Mr Smith Goes to Washington.

There are liberal media outlets and conservative media outlets. The reason you are being overwhelmed with the negative Palin media is because the conservative Palin media doesnt have much to write about.

Go listen to Rush Limbaugh if you want to get your Palin groove back. I am sure he will tell you everything you want to hear.

Answered a question with the same question. Brilliant!

Tex: Are you gay?
Triplet: Are you gay?
Tex: This is pointless.
