Media hacks beat the ACORN spin to death, but ignores Palin's abuse of power (snark)

Where is the outrage about Palin?


Edited title, added link.

they will use people's familiarity with the argument (courtesy of your friendly "librul" media) to make massive reports of "voter fraud" seem plausible when they fight to steal the closely fought districts on Nov 4th...

It has been reported virtually everywhere.

Who has called out McCain on this?

Doesn't this story deserve the same, if not more, scrutiny as RW spin?

I don't think you even searched for it. you simply stated it because you felt like it.

That’s the big problem.

If MSM did any real digging into the ACORN story at all, instead of reporting GOP spin, everyone would see that the ACORN smear story is nothing.

Not Lou Dobbs or Drew Griffin, who did a so-called investigative piece on the group?

point is that there no outrage! A demand for Palin to step down. Here you have someone who could be prez of the USA in a few months and she was just found to have abused the power of her office. If the media was fair (or if Biden was the one who violated ethics laws) there would be WALL TO WALL coverage of this!

if Biden was in fact found to have abused the power of his office...like your "article" shows there would be wall to wall coverage about it and a DEMAND that Biden step down immediately from the Obama ticket.

It is astonishing that there is total silence on the palin abuse of power. What the fuck was McCain worried about? The media is not going to hold Palin accountable...she is an aw shucks hockey mom....I HATE THE FUCKING MEDIA!

Dude, even MSM conservatives are turning against McCain: George Will, David Brooks, to mention too really big ones.
Krauthammer has criticized Palin as well. And that's only the conservatives.

his campaign would have ended long before he picked Palin. In fact, it would never have gotten off the ground.

There are still enough of them out there telling outright lies to benefit McCain.

Either he's with McCain or he isn't, and you claim the media is pro-McCain this cycle.
He is part of why your statement can't stand when tested against the evidence.

end of the first debate? They all sat around initially declaring McCain the winner, defying logic and their own polls. It wasn't until it became apparent that they all sounded like GOP hacks that they changed their tune.


On edit: My goodness, this one was a serious freeper. Ick!

some more bull about the Bradly Effect. I have had it up to my ears with this bull shit msm. There is no doubt in my mind who they are pulling for.

dead!

The GOP is pushing the ACORN story via the media. Our side needs to push the abuse of power...

We can't expect the media to do these things without serious effort on the part of our party leaders and candidates. If Barack Obama wants a big deal made of Palin's abuse of power, then a big deal will be made of it. If not, then we will get whatever we get.

hold them accountable.
