Do you think Sarah Palin is getting a fair shake from the media?

Question

The personal attacks and smears have gone ballistic!

Answer 1

The concept of fair, impartial reporting has gone out the window.  The difference now is between the journalists who are biased and lie about it, and those who admit their bias up front.

Answer 2

I think she is getting "shook" to much ... everything is falling out ....

It is what it is ... so far none of its made up ...  

Answer 3

she is a republican, of course not.  I LOL at those whining about the "bias" of Fox.  When faced versus NBC, CBS, ABC, The NY Times, The Washington Post, CNN, MSNBC, etc, the media "bias" is still about a thousand to one in the democrats favor.

Answer 4

Hey.. she wanted it, she got it!

OBAMA NATION BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 5

Yea, it's like she went to a church in Chicago or something.  Do I even need to run through the list of personal attacks on Obama and family?

I haven't seen any personal attacks on her.  I've seen plenty questioning her judgment.

Answer 6

No. The media should be calling this what it is. Sarah Palin is an irresponsible mother who was too busy playing at being "governor" to properly supervise her children--and Bristol Palin is a victim of parental neglect.

If the media were being fair, that's what you'd be hearing.

Answer 7

No, but unfortunately that's what happens when a campaign doesn't fully vet their running mate pick.

McCain claims that Sarah Palin told him about her pregnant daughter.

That should've been a red flag.

Unfortunately Sarah Palin chose to put the media spotlight on her family.

The results were predictable.

Answer 8

Notfrom CNN and CNBC.  Just watch them, they have given up the objectivity years ago.  They are going to question her experience with foreign policy.  That's ok, but I don't know how you can say Obama has any more experience.  A community activits (I really don't know what that is) and 3 years in the senate missing 90 votes doesn't exactly may you a foreign policy expert either.    

Answer 9

American politics is hardball.  Let's not forget the Swiftboaters.  But you won't hear Obama or Biden engaging in this nonsense, just like you won't hear McCain (and most certainly Palin) using the "Barack Hussein Obama" nonsense.

Answer 10

no she is not because the liberal media are running scared.

Obama has some real competition now.

Answer 11

Did you just use the term Media and Fair in the same sentence?

Answer 12

Truly sad that the libs pick on children.

Answer 13

The media is reporting the facts.

And Y/A is not the media.

Answer 14

No.

Follow the money.

The Obama hit machine of David Axelrod and George Soros are spreading the money around the liberal blogs and the MSM...

Advertising pays the bills and the Obama warchest is huge.... Axelrod is the king of the hit piece.. That is how he propelled  Obama from a nobody up the ladder his whole career...

Answer 15

You ask that as if you think anyone ever expected her to be treated fairly.  

Did the media dig this deeply into Edwards' affair?  No, they did not.  Yet, they dig into this matter with Palin, and she's only the VP candidate, and it isn't even her affair.  

Only an idiot can't see this, and no honest person could deny the bias.  

Answer 16

The media sat on stories about Obama over a year.  If a woman run's ,it's open season.  Let a half black guy run and the media are afraid to criticize lest they be called a racist.

Answer 17

They are going ballistic because they are true.

Yep, here's another scandal coming out about Palin.

McCain wants people to think Palin is comparable to Hillary but Hillary has integrity, something Palin ain't got.

Palin ain't no Hillary!

Answer 18

No, she's a republican.

Answer 19

She's Republican, lol. Of course not. The liberal media will never be fair. They'll spend weeks talking about her daughter's boyfriend, but not more than a few minutes talking about a Presidential candidate's direct friendship, real estate dealings and tax money funnelling to a convicted felon.

Why bother asking if she is/is going to get a fair shake, LOL!

Answer 20

yes.Obama was vetted by the media too.Does Rev wright ring a bell?

Answer 21

I have never seen anything like this before.  What is the deal?  Is it because she is a woman or is it because she is a conservative woman?  Who is questioning Obama's governing skills due to his having young children?  The sexism is so obvious it is pathetic.  But what troubles me more is the women attacking the woman.  Women should be thrilled that a woman is on the ticket.   Looks to me like the liberal democrats are scared to death of her.

Answer 22

No, I don't think she is, but it will backfire on them, we all watched while they did it to Hillary so we see it for what it is now,, lol..

Answer 23

And weve been saying liberal media ( george soros ) for how long now.

Answer 24

If Palin can't stand the heat she need to get the h**l out of the kitchen every thing that have been written about her is fair game this is politics the republicans  wanted to know when and where Obama took a sh.it but we do have the right to know who the real Sarah Palin is i think your  a hypocrite.

OBAMA /BIDEN 2008

Answer 25

Well, I don't like politics just for this reason, but everyone else went through it. It was just fine for them to pick apart Obama and make up stories about him. Although I think they are too aggressive in how they pick candidates apart, Palin should have known it was coming. It's only fair. At least her issues aren't made up like Obama's. She'll live since she lived thus far with knowledge of the things she has done and is going through.

Answer 26

No, she isn't. Of course the media will jump all over a conservative for any reason. Just like the people on Y!A:  nobody knew anything about Palin ten days ago, and now everyone is an expert on her personal and political life.
