The problem with Sarah Palin isn’t her problem
Ben Smith has a great post on the dreadful Vanity Fair piece on Sarah Palin (so bad that even left-wing feminists are speaking out against it). The article is just garbage, thin, weak, and factually incorrect all over the place. Ben attributes some of this to Palin speaking only with sympathetic news outlets. But newsflash: she’s not an elected official. She’s not the RNC head. She hasn’t announced candidacy for any position. Why should she speak to anyone she doesn’t want to? If I were her I would do the same thing. She has a rational distrust of the “lamestream” media, why should she let herself be badgered and pummeled when she achieves no goal from it. I wouldn’t. And her lack of access in no way excuses so-called journalists from getting an accurate story. That Vanity Fair “reported” that she used Trig as a prop at an event that Trig didn’t even attend is a travesty for journalism.
And sidenote: I used to love Vanity Fair. It was my go-to magazine. Until it progressively got dumber and dumber and I couldn’t pick it up anymore. I don’t mind a liberal slant, I understand that there is almost no mainstream magazine or newspaper without it (unless it is specifically conservative), but Vanity Fair bordered on the ridiculous and it crossed over into absurd with this article.
The self-righteous “liberal” anger at this woman,
one of the most prominent woman politicians in the
U.S., never ceases to amaze me. What did she ever
do to anyone, other than live the feminist dream of
successful career with marriage and children, too, If
Susan B. Anthony, a pro-life feminist, came back to
life, would the liberals tear her to pieces as well?
Simply put,the left hates and tarnishes her at every given opportunity because they’re afraid of her,what else can be said? I sse it as an obvious sign that they consider her a threat, just look at the way she energizes a crowd when she speaks, and she speaks from the heart, totally unlike many a liberal who only pays lip service and runs off to the next publicity stunt!!
