Enough
Posted by Ron Malpeli 9/3/2008 9:54:13 AM

I guess I'm old school (56 years old) because I believe the role of "journalism" is to report the facts, and the just facts, leave the editorializing to the op ed page.

Obviously, this is no longer the case. Obama gets a free ride, while Geraldine Ferraro gets swamped for stating the truth. Obama's wife's racist diatribe written while at Princeton, gets nothing, yet a woman who has stated she is against abortion, shows the world her family practices what it preaches, gets villified.

If nothing else, Palin shows that the GOP is more mainstream than the dems, who profess empathy with the underdog, down trodden and oppressed. More people can related to having a pregnant teenager, than to Harvard\Princeton education.

The liberal media is going to be for a rude awakening come November.
