1. Every day they cover at least one of her speeches...
...from start to finish. Sometimes they cover 2 of them in a day.

It's disgusting!

They cover 10 Palin speeches for every 1 Biden speech.

3. I am positively ill watching this biatch. Where are the Democrats?
Palin: insists on Obama provide all communications to ACORN.

Palin: America needs to know what his involvement really is with ACORN.

Where are the Democrats!! I want our 527's to counter this bullshit.

LIES and the Media is giving her free time to spew lies while the try to steal the election.

17. Obama's response on ACORN has been pretty weak so far
ACORN even offered an opening by releasing the MCCain video where he praises ACORN .

4. Because, including Obama, Biden, and even McCain, Palin
is the least experienced, most corporate loving of them all and the corporate media's clients are corporations, the American People are only customers to be sold a product or down the river.

6. She's shrill and whiny, I can't take her voice and her hate any longer.
She doesn't worry me.

Voter disenfranchisement and election day shenanigans worry me.

I think her callouts and the other hype are distractions, we need people on the ground and in the courts RIGHT FUCKING NOW in Ohio, Florida, etc.

8. I'd like to think that they are deliberately sinking her with all this coverage
Her favorability ratings go lower and lower with everyone outside of her base every time she opens her trap. It's sort of "O.K., you won't sit down with us for interviews so how about we send you back to Alaska?"

However, all the talking heads then start doing positive spin on every damn thing out of her mouth and Mika Mouse on Morning Joe practically fantasizes over her every freaking moment.

I don't know if they're trying to play to both sides but the media's relationship with Palin is definitely one screwed up situation.

11. I agree
4 or 5 speechs a day, anyone is bound to say something stupid off the cuff on film. Even if Biden is on film, if he manages to say something that could be twisted the masses will never see it - all the reporters are busy at the Palin events waiting for the Caribou Queen to accidentally flash her boobs.

16. They do it because they're hoping for one of the crazies to go off, live
on their news program. The supporters have become totally outrageous, she says such incendiary things and they're hoping that it all blows up just one time while their cameras are rolling.

18. It infuriates me.
They let her try and sell her bullshit and lies, unedited, each and every day on the cable networks. But they'll cut into a Biden or Obama speech in a heartbeat.

Today she's trying to claim that Obama is a socialist who wants to "redistribute" the wealth but do you think they'll point out she's lying her ass off? Do you think they'll bother to call her lying ass on the whole "I love coming to the parts of the country which are Pro-American" that she polished off today? Hell no. It's the media.
