An Apostle of Alaska

WELL DONE NEWSWEEK. This is one fantasticly vindictive piece of yellow journalism.

Please, don't give me this sh** about how you are "just reporting the facts". Is there even one person in America who can HONESTLY deny that this reporter has an incredible bias against Palin (and probably Republicans in general)?!? Hmm, let's consider all of the not-so-subtle barbs against her religion, her parenting skills, her husband, her governing ... And we won't even go into the full-on accusations against the integrity of her office. I suppose you did use about three positive adjectives in the whole piece, so for that you get an A+ in fairness and non-judgementalism.

Your magazine (and this article) is only proving her correct ... she won't be seeing any "good opinions" or balanced reporting from the liberal media elite anytime soon. Too bad BIASweek won't be gaining any good opinions from anyone looking for fair and honest coverage.

Your magazine (and this article) is only proving her point ... she certainly won't be gaining any good opinions and fair critiques from the liberal media elite. And you, BIASweek, certainly aren't gaining any good opinions from anyone looking for honest and balanced reporting.

Sarah Palin's Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae, Gaffe

Note: Even conservative analysts acknowledged that the statement simply did not hold true.

"Heretofore, if the treasury had a balance sheet there would have been a liability but there was never a taxpayer payment before [the bailout]," said Gerald P. O'Driscoll, an economist with the Cato Institute. "[Fannie and Freddie] were not taxpayer funded. They had taxpayer guarantee, which is worth something, especially in the stock market..."

The Palin misstatement comes as Fannie and Freddie are set to be placed under control of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, created by President Bush in late July to help regulate the two housing giants. Both presidential candidates have been critical of Fannie and Freddie but neither is opposed to the government's plans for the companies. The treasury is hoping that the government's role will help stabilize credit markets and incentive more mortgage lending.

Big Note: "With the takeover they will be taxpayer funded," said O'Driscoll. "As I understand it they get to withdraw funds with permission going forward."

How politically significant a "gaffe" it is remains to be seen.

Bigger Note: The Major concern about Palin's position on the ticket is that SHE LACKS the Economic and Foreign Policy wherewithal to serve as Vice President. This certainly doesn't help on that front. At the same time, the remark went almost entirely unnoticed over the weekend and discussions on the developments of the housing market can be difficult to process for even the most attuned voter.

This Woma cannot be Briefed enough on Military, International Or Domestic Policy....

This not like when she became a College Gaduate after 6 College Ties for a Degree in Journalism, or the Mayor of Wasilla Alaska, with her Biggest Contributions were a Hockey Rink and Millions of EarMarks, without Purchasing the land to make the Road to the Hockey Rink !!!

This Woman was Not Vetted and she will not last long on the Mccain Ticket, the Bets are already on her not making the Cut, until November 4th...Fct

I just wanted to share a fable that I've found useful when discussing the republicans. It's the story of the turtle and the scorpion. It is an excellent way of making a point that I think will stick. If you haven't heard it, this is the version I know:

A scorpion goes over to a turtle at the riverbank and asks him to give him a ride across the river. The turtle says to the scorpion " if I give you a ride across the river you'll sting me and I'll drown. The scorpion replies, " I am a student of logic if I stung you, you would sink and I'd drown too. Upon hearing this the turtle thinks for a moment and say OK hop on. Half way across the river the scorpion stings the turtle. The turtle says "now what did you do that for, now we're both going to drown. Look at the past eight years and REMEMBER THIS STORY AT THE VOTING BOTH!

It is really funny that most of the Obama supporters keep calling people who disagreed with them "stupid, dumb,....ect...." but their own posting really does not have any intelligence!

McCan's supporters do call people names too, but there is much less compared to Obama's

........

The truth is that we won't get to know Sarah Palin any better than we get to know any other politician. Who they actually are is hidden behind all the smoke and mirrors supplied by both ends of the political spectrum.
I suspect she isn't to muxh different than the rest of us; capable of good and bad judgement, capable of saying utter nonsense and things that actually make sense.

She isn't the story - the story is what will happen and what will be done depending on the outcome of the election. The reality that I see is that the problems are so great and the mess so messy that no matter who is elected they will have to work together with the other side just as we all have after any other national disaster. And, that is what we have on our hands a national disaster.

Boy, oh boy! It seems that the latest Gallup poll number has caused a spike in high-blood pressure, seizure, and heart attack! I hope Gallup they don't get sued for this

If she's so horrible as a mother, wife, governor, and person in general, why does she have such an incredibly high approval rating from those people in Alaska who should have suffered the brunt of all of her terrible policies and inability as mayor or governor. In fact, she has a tremendous rating as a governor and the great and wonderful Democratic congress that we so eagerly elected has a lower job approval rating than her and even significantly lower the President Bush!!!

Not all Alaskans are in favor of Sarah Palin and we will vote against her. She allowed the controversial bridge to have a great start because she allowed the road to the bridge to go forward while denying support for it. More corrupt Alaska government and deception. Almost all of the military in Alaska is pro Sarah and Mc Caine and riding the rah-rah band wagon and blinded by all the pro support your military but I am former military and retired and can see through all the smoke screen. First of all military members have no choice but to fully obey the president and not talk down of them but most don't know they don not legally have to support Bush for example. You will here allot of negativity about Clinton because of his unpopular decisions so the hypocracy lives on in Federal government. The military needs to know they can be ambassadors of peace and ready to fight when truly necessary and hope to follow and trust that America has chosen the best choices of government for the sake of all humanity. America needs one government for one country not Red against Blue or green etc. America stop, pointing fingers at each other and groups of people or race for 8 years strong now we are the Divided States of America! Sarah Palin lowered herself in class by slinging mud at Obama and the nice things he said about her pregnant unwed daughter. She is just like all the Red's, dirty, untrustworthy, hypocritical, deceptive, and plain crooked. They are always crying about everyone else but themselves.

This is not about Sara Palin this is about John Mccain and his irresponsible and irrational choice for his VP running mate.

This is John McCains ball game and he is the one making the decisions. The Republicans have you all looking the other way by making you think this is about Palin and John McCain having his strings pulled with his campaign manager saying things like "This election is not about issues" or one of his surragates saying' "John Mccain does not speak for this campaign" or turning "Community Organizer" into a dirty word when we all know that is a great way to reach and help peple who are in greater need than ourselves. No sir This election on the Republican side is being run by the one and only John Mccain and nobody else. If you think otherwise you are a fool in your own skin.

"IT IS NOT"

This is all about John McCain and his extremely bad judgement.

The republican party is playing Bushy with all of you all over again by making you think that he is a puppet and his strings are being pulled by Rove and company and the Republican party.

W E L L I H A V E G O T N E W S F O R Y O U!

Bush, Cheney and Mccain are dumb like foxes and we are all just fish on a hook and we are swallowing it hook, line and sinker and being reeled in all over again.They did it to everybody in 2000 and 2004 and they are right back at it again in 2008. As it stands right now they are winning and if we all keep talking about the wrong things till the General Election and lose focus of what is ailing our beloved country America will lose again.

I hope you can live with that because i can't bear the thought and i can't afford another 4 or more years of the same and as it looks right now you are all helping to get us to that juncture.

"Katrina, four dollar gas, a trillion dollar war, rising unemployment, deregulated housing market, global warming......."

"N O M O R E"



This race should be about whether the Republican Party is going to be dismantled or not after the borderline treason of the past eight years. But instead it is about making the word "community organizer" a dirty word and a beauty queen who shoots foxes from a plane. Someone is not in any way doing their job and it's the press. Or more specifically, that job no longer exists.

Probably the worst offenders are the pundits who take the position that it's all just a game and say phrases like "getting a post-convention bump" or "playing to the soccer Moms." This isn't a game of Monopoly or Survivor. There are real truths that exist outside of the spin they are given and have an effect on lives. 250,000 Iraqi civilians are dead because we let our reality be distorted by the most effective propaganda machine in fifty years, the corporate American press. Money and jobs are flying out of this country as our currency becomes worthless and we're talking about the fact that McCain is a veteran. If someone busted into your house and robbed you would you then forgive them if you found out they were a veteran? Of course not. So why are we forgiving McCain for selling out his country by supporting the Bush agenda?
