Do you think regardless of your political affiliation, that the media was overly vicious against Palin?

Question

I do. I mean the NYT had 3 FRONT page stories related to her daughter the other day. I am trying to look at this from an unbiased perspective and I am shocked at how cynical and belittling the national media has tried, as a whole to discredit, shame and embarrass Palin. Now, don't take this the wrong way. The media has every right to report the objective truth about her, and her mistakes. But not in a biased, cynical way. If only in the tone of the voice of popular TV outlets, it is so painfully obvious that the left is not happy with Palin.

Answer 1

Maybe...But she is running for the Vice President and she is an historic candidate whom no one knows and very little has been discussed about her.

Kids are off-limits but when you say yes to this type of job, by definition alot of this is par for the course.

Answer 2

You know you're onto something when one person can provoke so much fear & paranoia in the mainstream media.

Answer 3

If the far left media ie; NBC, MSNBC, Would stick to the issues not smearing the candidates I think thats ok.

But they don't!

Answer 4

No more than they were to Hillary.

Answer 5

she was a relative unknown 2 weeks ago....she needs to enter the fray and get burned to see if she can stand it....soccor mom is ok, but she better be more than that

Answer 6

Yes....they have been.  I guess we women haven't come along as far as we'd like to think we have if the liberals and their media are any indicator.  

Answer 7

Yes and they aren't done yet-shameless! Attacking her kids will backfire on them big-time.

Answer 8

lets face it. if she had an abortion they would have named her woman of the year.  

Answer 9

no

Answer 10

It's what they do. Unfortunately, it's all they know.

Answer 11

I am not fond of the attack on the children.  However, attacking her record and out right lies about it is completely fair game.  

Answer 12

Yes - they went after Palin's KIDS!!!!

Answer 13

If there is dirt to dig they will find it, and it's the press's responsibility to publish anything relevant.  A lot of the things tghat immediately surfaced were relevant and showed hypocrisy, corruption and deceit.
