Ever since Sarah Palin was chosen to be John McCain’s running mate, there has been an obvious bias against Sarah Palin. The media has dug up Sarah Palin scandals, attacked her defenders, and endlessly discussed why she did not she did not deserve the position.
Mona Charen discusses an extremely logical hypothesis for why the media despises Sarah Palin and she sums it by saying it is all about Sarah Palin’s special needs son – Trig.
Here are two great pieces from that article but I urge you to read the whole thing:
How do the media poobahs explain it? They say (and to her credit, Sally Quinn has apologized for her comments) that it was Palin’s inexperience that prompted their contempt. But aren’t these the same people who had just the week before been defending Barack Obama’s thin resume?
Something about Sarah Palin set them off before their own politically correct impulses (“Must Avoid Sexism”) could inhibit them. By the ferocity of the response, you might have thought Palin was a secret member of a polygamous cult or had forced her daughter to give birth after a rape. But no, she was just the mother of five, hunting, fishing, NRA member, and governor.
and her conclusion:
But for themselves, they would abort. And there stands Sarah, Trig Palin in her arms, a beautiful ambassador for the path of humility, duty, honor, and grace. It’s no wonder she was in their crosshairs from the get go.

I don´t think the media HATES her. In fact, when they dig JUST A LITTLE,they DO come up wih MORE about Palin then they even bargained for. None of what she says holds water. If Palin is going to just SAY stuff, it IS a responsibley to debunk it. The BRIDGE TO NOWHERE, PORK, affiliations with seperatist movements, it´s all here for the picking,,,,
She seems to have the most trouble among her own, the McCain staffers, the governors at the GOP convention, THE GOOD PEOPLE of ALASKA buzzzing about a Palin impeachment because she won´t go back and keeps collecting the money, GOP contributors bitching about the clothes and stylists they paid for.
Also the media is TOLD certain things are off limits, 2 out of her 5 kids are high school drop outs, Track was given a choice-JAIL OR THE MILITARY (talk about SPIN!), SO MUCH FOR PARENTING! Isn´t parenting a main issue on her platorm, what is this? Didn´t Ms. Palin give birth to Track 8 months after her marriage, he WAS 9 MONTHS OLD, doesn´t that contradict HER stance?
I can go on and on, this is just off the top f my head.
The woman is insulting, she JUST says things, like a dare!
I’m a registered independent in Milwaukee Wisconsin. I must put that out there first. I am also a black woman who was going to vote for Sen. Barack Obama just because he was black. Now I have concerns with his campaign and how the media has treated Gov. Sarah Palin. I’m sliding closer to Sen. McCain for the simple fact that he seems to be the only grown up fighting for the American people.
I don’t think they hate her it’s just that she’s not known yet. At the same time, the GOP are masters at media spinning. The other problem here is that family should be off limits BUT the more the family matters are exposed the more you have to wonder….case in point:
