Babies, Lies, and Scandal ... wait, what?!

Alright, so before we begin I want to make it clear that I dislike both presidential candidates and their Vice President choices (Although Palin is a little better on the freedoms department than Biden is, in my opinion). So this post will be without going into a political discussion on the positions or character of the candidates. Instead I would like to focus more on the blaring problem of bias in popular media.

One of the most blatant forms of character assassination showed up in the form of US Weekly. This little gem is now in markets across the nation:



What, may I ask, is your first reaction to seeing this cover?
No go ahead, think about it. I'll get back with you in a second.


Were you thinking that this woman is some sort of dirty politician with tons of skeletons in her closet? Do you think that the magazine has some juicy details on what a liar Sarah Palin may be? If any of these are true, than the magazines aim was a complete success.

However, none of the words on the cover are used negatively against her in the article. The article does its best to throw out many vague instances of things that have happened in her life or during her political career. For example, this "Trooper Gate" incident which she fired a Safety Commissioner for failing to fire a State Trooper for disorderly conduct. This story is being used by one side to "try" and crush Palin as they never tell people all the details. They never mention that the State Trooper made death threats against Sarah and her daughter and tasered his own 10 year old nephew (sounds like a totally stable guy).

Another one is that her husband is labeled as some kinda drunk because he has a DUI on his record...that he got 22 years ago when he was 22. Yep, young guy drinking out in the middle of nowhere, hell, I'd be drinking too if I lived in Alaska.

The lies are apparently about the "Liberal Bloggers" who have been spreading as many rumors and lies about her as they can, and US Weekly is being the knight in shining armor to help bring this epidemic to light (Aww, how nice).

There is a video below where the editor of US Weekly, Bradley Jacobs tries to tell us that these details were left out because the article was rushed. Rushed you say! I didn't know what would equal a paragraph of information was so hard to put in? This guy ends up looking like a massive slimeball.

Wenner needs to get a grip on reality and stop using his publications to further his agenda (Its no secret how over for Obama he is). Its pretty obvious what they were going for, and its sad that they have to resort to these kinds of tactics to gain an upper hand.

If you don't quite know what I mean, lets check out a few covers from Wenner's publications the last few months.



Ah yes, very much like the one they ran for Palin.....

Oh what about this one



Again, I love how harsh they are on his family.

Wait a minute! I hardly know anything about Obama's family? If only the conservatives would run smear ads about his past. Or, he would come out and tell everyone what his past is and who his family is.

At anyrate, here is the video with the editor of US Weekly Bradley Jacobs.
