A democrats view of Vanity Fair.

Quote:The Sarah Palin Hit Piece in Vanity Fair
By Hillary Taft - Thursday, July 2nd, 2009
Yawn. Big surprise – Vanity Fair has published an unsubstantiated piece of journalistic garbage that portrays Sarah Palin in a bad light! Wow, what a surprise! (That’s sarcasm there.)

You have to wonder why Sarah Palin is continually being brought into national media attention when the election is OVER…it’s not like you’ll see Vanity Fair publishing hit pieces of Mitt Romney. But Palin is probably the best potential candidate to run against Obama in 2012, and it’s clear to me that people with an agenda are trying to take her out of the running now.

But what women should be up in arms about is the article’s speculation that Palin had “post-partum depression.” Nice. Criticize a woman candidate because she was just pregnant. Do you ever hear things like “He’s going through his mid-life crisis?” associated with male politicians (particularly those who are actually displaying it with their philandering)?

It used to be that journalists had some sort of integrity; that they believed in standards of fairness. They would not print negative quotes without trying to talk to someone with an opposing viewpoint and showing the other side.

The hit-and-run type of journalism expressed by Vanity Fair is nothing more than propaganda. You must remember, these were the guys who published a hit piece on Bill Clinton during the primaries, apparently in an effort to take Hillary down. (I’m actually surprised they didn’t just plaster a big headline across their cover: “HILLARY THE SHREW” – and then blame her for Bill’s sexcapades.)

Palin’s Vanity Fair piece tries to paint her as having narcissistic personality disorder – something that actually fits Obama better. Will Vanity Fair run a hit piece on Obama, talking about the now legendary Obama “Evil Eye”? Nope, because Vanity Fair is apparently in the pockets of people who want Obama and certain Democrats in power.

The mainstream media, which put Obama up on a pedestal and then smashed Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin down with unabashed misogyny during the 2008 election is something I no longer trust. The upshot of this is that they are starting to cry wolf – I am so immune to any Sarah Palin criticism right now that even if the worst were true I would not believe it.

Considering I am a 20-year registered Democrat who has for years been absolutely opposed to the “religious right,” the fact that the media has gotten me turned off of Democratic propaganda and now taking the side of a conservative woman is no small feat. If I am feeling this way, I can only imagine how middle America is feeling.

Wow, that editor made several mistakes in the first few paragraphs. How embarassing. I mean, that's her damn job.

YOU KNOW WHAT Dic-Weed .... AT LEAST SHE WASN'T "HAVING TO USE 10 TELEPROMPTERS" to make it thru her speech.

You people are so stupid to cast this woman out because she gives a speech from a few pieces of paper and from her heart ...

So what if she made some grammatical errors ??????

Your Idiot Fearful Leader TOTUS can't even GET IT RIGHT WITH 5 TELEPROMPTERS STARING HIM IN THE FACE ... 03-lmfao 03-lmfao 03-lmfao 03-lmfao

Stop being scared little ******* about Palin - - it makes you look pathetic that you can't handle a Strong, Capable Female - - you know, like you see her as some sort of Threat to your Manhood (as if you had any to begin with).

Get over it homies ... she will be in the mix, count on it .... 04-rock 04-rock 04-rock

Well, if Palin failed an English test, then Obama failed a geography test (57 states), math test (tax and spend), patriotic test (Rev Wright, Bill Ayers), history test (failed to learn from Carter), physical education test (throws a baseball like a girl).........do I need to go on?

She hasn't been running since 03Nov08. If you ID 10 Tangos are still on that case you're all a bunch of OC morons.

Its fitting however, that an emasculated metro-sexual is attempting to take us into full blown Nanny State while Wearing Mom Jeans.

So VF is good for criticizing Palin, but we're bad for criticizing VF?

Where exactly is the logic in that cb? Seriously, let's see the rationale behind this comment.

I have to say....an aunt gave my daughter a subscription to VF last year. Other than the fact it is 2/3s advertising, it actually has some pretty good journalist pieces. I enjoy reading the articles.

This was of course just some silly partisan BS.....Funny still. I'm sure just about any speech these control freaks give could be ripped apart by grammar nazis.

I would hope that their look would would include ALL those running things on the Hill and the White House. I'd submit that the bad actors in power are like fleas on dog...only....This infestation is almost impossible to stop.

The fleas leave when the dog dies. Then they go find another dog and the cycle repeats itself.
