Catch ya!

The medias onto her! The New York Times published this article today about whether or not Sarah Palin is ready for her big test! As we discussed last night, we haven't seen too much of Palin these past weeks, outside of her interview with Couric, since she the McCain camp is cramming information down her throat so she doesn't screw up at the debates. The media already knows this and is not keeping it a secret. After her interviews with Gibson and Couric the media knows as well as the people that Palin doesn't have what is needed to be VP, and possibly President. Ron Carey says: " Thanks to the mainstream media, quite a low expectation has been created for her performance,” said Ron Carey, chairman of Minnesota’s Republican Party. “The style of Sarah Palin is going to amaze people. She is going to be able to amaze people with the substance she is going to deliver.” Um...okay
Some might argue that the media is ripping her apart at this point, but hey...the truth is the truth, and whether or not it's making this woman look bad we need to know about it. Just because she is being briefed about how to handle the debate, does that really means she could execute any of it if she were in office? I know personally that if I "crammed" for a test I could remember the info for the test only...right after it was over, it flew out of my brain like a leaf in the wind. If Palin manages to "remember" everything she is taught for the debate, do we honestly still believe that makes her qualified with NO experience??

The Nation does a nice little article about how McCain is blaming the media for all their unpopularity. Well yes, the media does play a huge role in supporting candidates, but they are only reporting what is true...and maybe adding some comedy (SNl!!) So whats next? The media already doesn't tell us all the truth about issues, so now do they want to censor it even more and only allow questions that the candidates screen?
