Hypocrisy with the Media?

Question

The Media seems out of control degrading another woman and holding women to a different standard than Obama himself...

case in point; Palin's husband drunk driving charge 22 years ago big news... Obama's admitted cocaine use.. no news.

Palin speaking this evening; CNN is in Alaska interviewing her sister. Yet no media outlet interviewed Obama siblings before or after his speech?

Every little thing Palin has done in her life seems to be scrutinized ... yet Obama's past clearly not held to the same standard.

Is this not Hypocrisy?

Answer 1

The media is owned by George Soros---and so is Obama. Sure they will protect their investment----and will continue to implant slogans and special phrases to sway the weak-minded. That is exactly what we face here----parrots of the liberal media---we try to rationalize and help them to see the truth---sometimes it works---others are far too hard-headed to get it. So they will continue regurgitating th pabulum they were fed---and will continue to display unreasonable anger when you shoot down obviously false information.  All we can do is to continue to try. can't wait to count the thumbs down I will get for speaking the truth.----and I was nice this time and did not mention Ayers--Farrakan-Wright-- Rezko or Rev. Michael Pfleger.

Answer 2

They have been scrutinizing Obama for the past year now.

Answer 3

You're full of sh*t.  I've constantly heard about Obama's past.  People don't know anything about this Palin woman, so of course they are curious about her past/family life.

Answer 4

ummmm... YES

Have you seen the title of the U.S. Weekly for this week "s*x, Lies and Scandal." Contrast that with the love story between Obama and his wife 4 months ago.

Answer 5

Obama was scrutinized earlier by the media. Palin just came into the picture and that is the reason everyone wants to know about her. No body know who she was until McCain picked her.

So no there is no hypocrisy here.  

Answer 6

Yes, it is clear bias against her

Obama could commit bank robbery on live TV and they would look the other way

Answer 7

The media portrays what the national public wants to hear. The majority of the American public supports Obama.

I'm not bashing. It's a fact. The same thing happened in 2004 when the media worked in favor of Bush.

Answer 8

you forgot Palin also smoke pot. anyway, the reason I knew everything about Obama was because of the media, you know everything about Palin because of the media. How is that hypocrisy? They have both been scrutinized, we simply scrutinized Obama a lot earlier... now it's Palin's turn.  

Answer 9

Maybe its because no one outside of Alaska even knew who she was until McCain chose her.  

Answer 10

They don't talk about Cindy McCain's admitted Cocaine use... pill popping, and stealing days. And they don't talk about Sarah Palin weed smoking days. So what's your point? Hm...  

Answer 11

CLEAR hypocrisy - her husband had one too many wines/beers with dinner, cleans up for 22 years, while Obama is a self-admitted crackhead WHO NEVER SOUGHT TREATMENT!!!  Dr Drew Pinsky would have a field day with Obama!!!

Answer 12

Bull, Palin didn't get Vetted and now we the American people want to know all her graft, pork and anything thing else she lies about.

Answer 13

It is hypocrisy and it is nearly criminal.

Anyone even associated with the media these days should be hanging their heads in shame.  I wonder what the real media people... the ones who are not biased , the few who are actually fair.. I wonder how they feel being lumped into this new group of media that have been created by Obmaamania.

I have never been so ashamed of the news media in my life.  I have a friend from Britain, where the paparazzi are so unforgiving.. say to me that she  thinks our media is worse than their paparazzi.  Now isn't that just nice.

Shame on all of them.. but especially the CNN group and MSNBC.... they really sicken me!

Answer 14

Quit whining.....Obama has already been scrutinized in the media. hahaha And you're p$%%% because there is something of substance to scrutinize her about.....hahaahhaha

I suggest kleenex it's softer on the face when you cry alot!

VETERANS FOR OBAMA

Answer 15

No, not hypocrisy at all.

Apparently you have been on a remote island with no TV, Radio, phone or newspaper for the last 18 months.

Answer 16

But Obama's cocaine use was part of his Journey of Self-Discovery.

Big difference.
