Is Your Media Biased or Objective?

Anyone who looks at the coverage objectively will see that Sarah Palin & Joe Biden are being treated differently. Is this sexism? Sometimes, yes, but mostly it is media bias against conservatives.

It amazes me that professional journalists have abandoned their ethics to impugn anyone who has slight differences of opinion regarding how government should operate. When I was growing up, journalists kept their opinions to the editorial pages - now they blatantly hype Obama and fiercely attack any who oppose him.

Republican or Democrat, their solution to any problem is more of our money, and more power for the government - the differences between them are usually in the percentage of the increase, not in the fundamental philosophy.

If differences of opinion can't be discussed in public without all this emotion & skulduggery, why bother having elections at all? Feudalism worked well for the elites in the middle ages - perhaps we should go back to that? Or maybe we could agree that honorable people can have different opinions and that's OK ...

Striking Back at Critics, One by One - washingtonpost.com:
"From the moment she was introduced Friday, Palin has been on the receiving end of an almost unprecedented barrage of criticism. On Wednesday night, she took the opportunity to answer back, and she put her critics -- Democrats, the media and the Washington political establishment -- on notice that she is ready for a fight.
Palin knew her targets and went after them one by one. It was an us-vs.-them attack, designed to attach Obama and the Democrats to the cultural elite and to tie herself and McCain to the values of the hardworking, God-fearing, patriotic middle of America. But while her speech seemed aimed at energizing the Republicans' conservative base, Palin also sought to introduce herself as a fellow reformer with a maverick's spirit to match the message that McCain hopes to send from here on Thursday night and through the rest of the general-election campaign."
