Why are Alaskan Newspapers Questioning Palin's readiness for VP?

Question

For the past 24 hours, the pages and web sites of the two leading papers up there have raised all sorts of issues surrounding Palin, from her ethics problems to general lack of readiness for this big step up.

Right now the top story on the Anchorage Daily News web site looks at new info in what it calls "troopergate" and opens: "Alaska's former commissioner of public safety says Gov. Sarah Palin, John McCain's pick to be vice president, personally talked him on two occasions about a state trooper who was locked in a bitter custody battle with the governor's sister.

Answer 1

So far I can see why McCain called her "just what I was looking for".  They both seem to have problems in the honesty department.

Answer 2

They are California owned newspapers.  If you lived up here you would know the are always on the liberal side.

80% of Alaskans are in total support of Gov Palin.

Even if she did do something, ALL of it is not criminal.  So she WILL NOT BE SENT TO JAIL.

DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 3

the Media like to stir things up - oh and they dont always print the whole story

Answer 4

Perhaps they know something we don't.  Like, she's been caught in unethical behavior before, and now is under investigation for official misconduct - which could send her butt to jail!

Answer 5

Links?  I haven't heard this about the local press.

Answer 6

And you know, of course, that said trooper beat the c**p out of his wife, tasered his 10 year old son, and was driving around in his cruiser while drinking beer.  And the governor shouldn't have asked about this?
