Ladies and gentlemen... this is my last diary on this subject, I promise. Last night after months of waiting and anger I was finally able to watch the "Media Malpractice: How Obama got elected and Palin was Targeted" so called 'documentary' I was even able to see the full 43 minute interview with the hockey mom herself Mrs Palin.
You have no idea. If you haven't seen the full interview, the 9 minute leak is just a warm up act for the craziness to come. I spent the whole time watching the interview with my mouth hanging wide open trying to figure out if this woman was for real in the things she said. I mean I think she is living in a fairy tale land. It really is 'Palin Unplugged'
...but much more
Just for the record, I did not purchase this film, nor would I give a dime to this libertarian bastard. Oh and speaking of that. He states at one point in the film he is a conservative, and at the very end confesses he is a libertarian and therefore has no bias in the film. That is a load of... well pick a word.
Anyways, this should not be considered a documentary. Basically this 2 hour film is pictures of internet pages, clips of news shows, and Ziegler narrating his distorted bias view. This is documentary malpractice at its finest. How can you make a film about media bias and the so called target on Palins back... when you are 'in the tank' for Palin? Oh yeah and to the diarist 'Inky99' you are famous. He featured your diary on Palin and the pregnancy scandal... twice. So if anyone knows inky99 be sure to let them know they have been smeared with the likes of Brian Williams, Keith Olbermann, Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric, Tina Fey, Oprah Winfree, Anderson Cooper, Chris Matthews, and some woman from CNN I don't know. The main clips seemed to come from Chris Matthews and his so called hypocrisy. Now I admit, I don't watch Matthews regularly, but I have seen enough to know he is vastly taken out of context along with the rest of these few.
His first argument was to say that Obama wasn't vetted because the media was in the tank for Hilary, but he didn't understand why Palin was dug so deep into. I think Obama was smeared just as much, but that is just me. Obama obviously passed the test. Palin didn't. I had no idea who Palin was, but I knew who Obama was long before he announced his campaign. Palin was the self proclaimed 'hockey mom' not the kind of person I want anywhere near big government. Sure, be a mayor... but you aren't cut out for major office obviously. She is very ignorant, this is even portrayed accidentally in this film! That just proved to me fully that there was no media malpractice. She was the one screwing it up for Mccain, not the media. Actually Mccain prertty much screwed it up for himself.
All of these stories he claimed got no media coverage, I had heard about and I will be completely honest here... I don't watch a tremendous amount of news and the news I do watch he considered in the tank for Obama. I knew about the smoking, the biden comment, the wright incident, I knew the answers to every one of his obama voters poll. But I guess I'm just brainwashed by the media. I guess we all are. So we voted for a man we did not know, we voted for a man we did not understand, we voted... we remained ignorant. The story this film makes is ridiculous. As I have said before and can truly say now, it makes the American people look ignorant. That is the one thing that makes me angry. There was only one highlight of this film and that was where he openly stated that fox news was 'leaning' conservative. If a crazy right propagandist can admit that... I think the rest of the right should. Which brings me to my next point. He called Keith Olbermann a leftwing propagandist. Now, lets think about this for a moment, Keith speaks truth with discernment, Ziegler has neither.
It's sad.
So on to my last piece about the Palin interview. I'm sure you are all just dying to hear about this one. You know how in many interviews Ziegler kept saying that this interview was hard for Palin? The answer is, no... it wasn't. Softballs as ziegler likes to call them. The only thing hard for her was watching people see right through her bull. She kept saying "You're killin' me!" Everytime Ziegler showed a clip from an interview or a SNL clip. What she was most mad about was the interviews. She said that no one ever took her answers at face value and they kept asking more questions about the same subject. I agree with you Mrs. Palin! I finally agree! THOSE WERE CALLED FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS! Hello. Are their any brain cells up there? The interview was a bunch of whining crap. She never accepts fault and just complains and complains and complains. You guys have to see this, but of course don't buy it. I want ziegler to go under with this one. Seriously, I really expected him to at least make a few valid points, but alas, none.
But don't listen to me... I'm just an anonymous blogger in my pajamas who can see my neighbors from my house, but don't know a
