How Does The Media Get Away With It?

Question

Looks like they went to press with the story if Palin being a member of the Alaskan Independence Party a bit too soon. Turns out, it was her husband. How can we believe the media if they don't make a simple phone call to get their facts straight?

Answer 1

wait...so, her husband was a member of a separatist/secessionist political party? Wow.

This is pretty serious.

Did she ever do any appearances for them...anything like that?

Answer 2

Now using standard Y!A affiliation logic, since her husband was with AIP...she is, too, anti-American, correct?  Because since Obama is "affiliated" with someone like Rev. Wright, he is also evil.  

It was a stupid rumor about Palin, anyway.  No one took it seriously...I hope...

Answer 3

First the party claimed she was, but couldn't supply documents.

second...HER HUSBAND WAS! Her husband wanted Alaska to separate from the US.  Did he forget to mention this when they were having family dinners?

Answer 4

The media is in a panic to protect their poster child. Trouble is the poster child has a resume thinner than his picture. Picking Biden only added trash to the ticket.  Wait and see how Biden's sell out to credit card companies enabled special interest to strip away the protection of bankruptcy laws.  Private citizens were blocked from getting the protections that business enjoys.  When a business goes bust taxpayers pick up the tab.  When a taxpayer goes bust the creditors pick up all the assets. Thanks to Biden protecting the wrong people.  

Answer 5

What bothers me more is that the media swept Obama's preacher, his real estate consultant, and his political mentor in Chicago under the rug and kept them there for over 13 months, but were able to uncover Palin's political affiliations, her husband's DUI, and her daughter's pregnancy in less than 48 hours.

There is something very wrong with this picture.
