Unless you were hanging out with Joe the Plumber in Gaza this past week, you probably heard that I did an exclusive interview with Governor Sarah Palin for my forthcoming documentary, “Media Malpractice… How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Smeared.” The reaction to the interview excerpts has been far more intense and far more deranged than I expected. Quite simply, the media response has done more to prove the basic point of the documentary than just about anything I could have produced in the film. Here are just a few ways in which this episode felt like I had suddenly become Alice in Wonderland (without the dress or blond hair). Governor Palin’s comments about being taken out of context were clearly taken out of context and her statements that they were being taken out of context were themselves taken out of context in a blatant, though thus far, unsuccessful attempt to turn the Governor and I against each other. The Governor’s measured, rational and accurate attempts to correct the historical record about the basis for which a Presidential election was decided were “reported” by the left as being “whiny,” “catty” and “delusional.” Folks, there’s a reason why there’s such a thing as a war crimes tribunal; some things you just have to get to the bottom of. Palin’s incredibly mild and humorous pushback against two very grownup media stars (Katie Couric and Tina Fey) who clearly had it out for her, helped destroy her candidacy and who benefited greatly from doing so, was somehow “reported” as an “attack,” “taking shots,” and “not taking responsibility.” Please. This is almost like ripping a Jew for making a Nazi joke (No doubt, THAT will also be taken out of context). Both the vaunted New York Times and the tiny liberal rag, the Alaska Dispatch (it was difficult to tell them apart since neither bothered to contact me before writing very deceiving pieces), figured out a way to discuss everything about the interview excerpts except the primary issue, which, of course, was their own malfeasance during the campaign. It’s become patently obvious we’ve reached a point where, especially when you’re a conservative, blatant bias, combined with the incredible shrinking attention span of the media and public, make it absolutely impossible to get a message out that is remotely nuanced. And once conventional wisdom is cemented, even when done so by a comedian on SNL with a clear agenda, there’s virtually no chance to set the record straight (again, especially if you’re a conservative and even more so if you’re seen in any way as a threat to Barack Obama). While I’ve been most concerned with the unfair assaults on Governor Palin and the ignoring of the basic truths she reveals in our interview, I’ve also taken more than my share of shrapnel. It began with a bizarre appearance on MSNBC with David Shuster. Instead of even bothering to pretend to find out the background of the interview or the nature of the “real Sarah Palin” (forget about why I did the interview or why I’m making a documentary), you would have thought I’d been accused of a major crime. I guess at MSNBC trying to get out the truth about Barack Obama and Sarah Palin may indeed qualify as such. At one point after that appearance I was booked to do three more spots on Obama’s pet network (two of which had already been scheduled) as well as two more on Fox, one on CNN and one on Saturday’s version of the “Today Show.” Next up was a live shot with Norah O’Donnell, with whom I’d gotten along great with the previous day during a lengthy interview (only 6.3 seconds of which was actually used, I believe) for that morning’s “Today Show.” After waiting around 30 minutes watching their largely non-condemning coverage of the post-impeachment press conference of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, I was not happy. When O’Donnell hit me on the air with a totally out of context statement from the Governor’s office I hadn’t seen that made it sound like they thought I had misled them, I thankfully and correctly didn’t believe her and tossed the question aside. But on the follow up I let loose. After that, I was suddenly bumped from “Hardball” on MSNBC, which I was very much looking forward to. (Chris Matthews is not only one of the stars of my new documentary, he also grew up with my deceased mother and many of my aunts and uncles in the Somerton section of Philadelphia. The only time I met Chris was at the home of my grandfather who passed away the day after the Palin interview). I didn’t view the cancellation as a coincidence. I was also bumped from “No Bias, No Bull” on CNN, which I had really wanted to do, if only for the inherent irony in it. As for Keith Olbermann, he cherry picked an inaccurate description I gave (and have since corrected after being able to view a tape that I previously didn’t know existed) about how the Governor reacted to seeing his photo. It is my only regret of this entire bizarre week that I was not more accurate in that initial post for Big Hollywood and gave that professional liar even more of a chance to gloat over being called “evil” (doesn’t THAT say everything about MSNBC) than was warranted by the facts. He, of course, did not have the courage to even pretend to have me on his show. Finally, Shuster, I guess feeling he hadn’t gotten much of me the first time, heavily promoted a “rematch” on his afternoon show. His behavior and journalistic ethics (is there such a thing any more?) hadn’t improved in the ensuing few hours between confrontations. The next day I received a call at home from Governor Palin. We briefly discussed a miscommunication with her staff that led to some on the Alaska state side (who had nothing to do with the actual interview, which was conducted at her home) to be unprepared for the coming storm even though I had informed my contact person of my intentions the morning before the story broke open on Big Hollywood and Drudge. The Governor also mentioned she had watched my first documentary, “Blocking the Path to 9/11,” and thought it highlighted just how deep the issue of media bias really goes. But mostly we discussed how the pathetic news coverage of this event proves the need for my new documentary. I think this episode has strengthened the resolve of both of us, each in our own way, to keep fighting to get the truth out on this subject. Once again, I was amazed at her courage to not back down when the average politician would do a George W. Bush and just lie in the fetal position. Sarah Palin is apparently no George Bush, and for that we should all be thankful.

I believe that analysis correct as far as it goes. What I think you are leaving out though is, for me, one of the Key Datums - McCain's people began attacking her before the (s)Election. That just does not happen in a legitimate campaign. What it signalled to me was that Sarah was not content to roll over and take one for the NWO. So, the purpose now in demonizing her is to correct for the miscalculation in choosing someone who would not roll over and play dead. Regardless of where I disagree with her on issues, and there are issues, the broad grain seems to be spelling out that Sarah has been a "bad girl" who was a lot brighter than the Plutocracy had counted on - and with a bit more integrity. Also they may have pissed her off by going after her family. NEVER attack a woman's family - she'll kill you. (Gotta run.)

palin lost me early on with her stated support of the wars and amnesty.
Snobs hiding behind Palin and her party is the excuse. Same with mysoginists. Once you take Palin the person out of the discussion you have the meat of the issue. Funny, few care to belly up to the table and chew the fat.

And she is an Israeli firster.
does that really matter? the point is she was more than willing to go with the status quo. there was never anything she said during the campaign, when it counted, that would indicate she was an independent. had she spoken up like Ron Paul, that would have been a moose of a different color.
I have my doubts if some people here even bothered to read or listen to the interview where the issue of class was raised by Palin. There was only one MSM that wrote a blurb that high lighted that assertion and it was taken down after two hours. The rest of MSM totally silent. Just for the sake of argument, lets say Palin had said...race...instead of class. Our friends here and MSM would still be frothing at the mouth.
Good point. She made a deal with the Arizona devil and she's reaping what she sowed.

They say she has just killed her future political chances with that comment. That to compare the treatment of herself in the media with what MAY BE SEEN with Princess Caroline of Manhattan, should be instructive. OH NO, they said. Media has been hard on Caroline. Well, if memory serves from the moment Palin was announced as VP candidate all in the press were instantly covered in rage and hives.. making up rumors about her children, denouncing the Downs baby, talking about PEOPLE that work with their hands.... that she had adopted her own daughters baby.. etc. Um.. did that happen to Caroline? what do we know about her children? Her church? Her political positions? Her husbands 'WORK'. His ancestry. His tax returns. Did the airdrop poop hunters in to the National Archives to dig up dirt on Carolines eating habits and fat thighs in school? Why does she walk like Shrek? Can she get those teeth fixed? Why can't she speak properly? Yeahhhhhh.. big difference. However, the press saw this as an attack on THEMSELVES, and held a trial and found themselves a little bit biased, but nothing that should give Palin or regular people the right to whine about. After all, THEY are journalists and are objective. Palin has withstood quite a firestorm and you have to give her credit. Did the press apply the same scrutiny on Obama. No. Biden. No. Richardson. No. Hillary.. please.. No, Palin is LOW CLASS as such carries no 'free pass'. We may not agree with her politics, but all politicians should undergo the same palinoscopy.

Therein lies peoples malice, how dare one of the lower class raise the issue of class.
There's plenty of fodder there. I'll match my "intellectual" ism with yours anyday. Waste time is what you do when you respond with these pathetic attempts at barbs. Partisian? Your attempts to portray your swooning as critical analysis as you continue your diatribe against Ron Paul is old and tired and still not convincing.
Therein lies peoples malice, how dare one of the lower class raise the issue of class. Which is why our educated betters are scared sh*less of us. They are not quite sure how they would do in a head to head contest. They only know how to move amongst their own ilk.

The malice comes from presenting herself as something other than what she is. She dressed up like President Barbie and couldn't pull it off. Had she been the real deal, she wouldn't have made those mistakes. She's an opportunist is all. And she may be low class as well, but it ain't because of her economic status.
angle... People talking to themselves is a sign of olde age... Other than that. Just pure partisanship and you know it and so do the rest of us. Why not address the class issue or are you afraid to do so?
You have already lost my friend. Just scan your very first post on this thread to Christine. Speak of an intellectual question, that was a winner, and gave anyone reading a good indication of where you wanted to go.
Legitimate criticisms of Palin may be applied ten times over to Hitlery, yet the MSM continues to be her personal dildo. The original point of the article is beyond question when it comes to bias.
No one seems to want to discuss the interview itself. Palin raised the class issue, not a word from MSM pro or con.. Not a word. Then after this lengthy article the best an informed angle can come up with is...Are you a Palin fan? I suspect we have many Obongo voters and supporters here.
My question to christine was a request for a straightforward answer as to where she stood on Palin. She was able to respond clearly and concisely. Your responses however dance around your position, which I can only surmise to be a closet neocon supporter.
Who are you lumping in that prestigous grouping? As far as the invitation to your class discussion circle jerk, no thank you. The premise of the article is spurious as is your insistence there's an issue to be made.
That's how I see it. Dole, Kerry, McCain - they did their bit in the show, pocketed a few million, and went on down the road.
I disagree! She whored for the zionists and made some pretty stupid remarks disproving your take on her core values. She was used because she was vulnerable to be used. She definitely was not VP or presidential material. She also had a few skeletons in her closet and you and I didn't put them there.
Angle... Are you not a least bit ashamed of using such language??? Mark of the character of any man when they resorts to obscene gutter language.
Straight forward??? You never post anything straight forward. Take a look at what you wrote...Are you a FAN of Palin???? Might it have been better to ask...What is your political view of Palin? But no, you loaded the question looking for a denial. Third grade stuff angle, third grade.
Merely an apt description of your antics. A typical tactic of yours to avoid addressing the post. Carry on without me and continue your harangue of Ron Paul. He's such an disappointment to you..
christine had no problem answering the question. I was merely interested in her position. She understood it perfectly. What's wrong with you?
A description of your playbook, I'm afraid. I'll have to bozo you now, again.
She didn't drive off a bridge and drown a campaign worker like Ted Kennedy or have FBI records in her personal residence like Hitlery Clinton. She's a Girl Scout compared to the Senate and House of Representatives.

Third grade stuff angle, third grade. 3rd grade would be a promotion for him. Gets mad, tries to change the subject, loses then bozo's to run and hide. Sort of like a tree hugger we know. Classic partisan. The issue/discussion at hand is 'class bias'. It's not about Palin. She was the only one brave enough to bring up this important topic. It is a legitimate discussion and quite relevant considering the aristocracy running the government and the media. Get over the party labels.. both parties are fused together against the working masses. There are a number of layers to the topic. Some deflect using the gender issue, some education, some use 'experience', all involve some form of hipocracy. However, each of the above, are used as ammo to create a 'legitimate' shield to stifle this critical conversation. Why it might reveal the ugly heart of a self-righteous fraud and stone cold hipocrit. Those of which are contributing to the problem by pretending to be above it or mystified. Pretending to want individual liberty, so long as it is controlled by the monied elite.

Thank you for making my point. She didn't have what it takes to be in the number 1 or 2 position. She also left no doubt that she would kiss the ass of the zionists big time. Strictly puppet material and never a peep outta her on governing by our Constituion.
Could we say the same for Obongo, Biden and McKooK???
You certainly may. They all came from the same mold. The leadership of this nation is in the hands of the zionists jews and we all are the losers because of it.
Very well put and SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO timely.
Hear, hear!! Every time Americans vote for a candidate that has been vetted by AIPAC we get the kosher shaft.
Just like you to add your 2 cents worth and then disappear. You remind me of old friend at times.
Lac... I am a 24/7 care provider and sometimes I do get behind here. Sorry bout that.
She sure was. After the election however(after the fact). During the campaign she mouthed the words she was fed just like a little puppet. That is fact. When she tried to mouth her own words, like in the Katie Couric interview, she crashed and burned.
Thanks Phant.

And you can't get your brain from under her skirt. The issue she brought up, despite your objection to her every breath, is CLASS BIAS. It's a legitimate topic..

Much worse than her counter part Biden, having Roosevelt as President in 1929 and on TV. I admit, Palin was much worse.
Wow, a classic. Just maybe you will get Lacs attention. Har T Har har har....

Hunters are really in for a rude awakening when millions of acres of public land suddenly become off-limits for ALL hunting. That never would have happened with Palin as VP and a continuation of Bush's opening of new public land to hunters (about the ONLY thing he got right).

McPutz did exactly was he was told to do - he took a dive and then shut up. Sarah was not in on the CON, but seems to have figured it out and doesn't like it. Thus the repeated media attacks on her. The PTB want to use the media to destroy her but she is being very uncooperative.
