Why is the Palin's AIP association off limits? Where is the press on this?
Bill Maher mentioned this last night on Real Time. Anybody care to tackle this question?

1. McCain's stealing her thunder
Heck, she's hardly noticeable these days with McCain acting like a neanderthal on stage.

2. Obviously the Corporate media is more interested in
attacking Barack Obama than anyone else. Guess they got their feelings hurt when McCain accused them of being "Liberal". Guess patriotism is about what the media decides it is about.

3. they are too busy...
with the ayers and ACORN stories...there's no time for any anti McCain stories right now so close to election day....:-(

If Obama loses this election the media should be blamed...the past few weeks they have gone into pro McCain mode...showing his rallies and not Obama, and covering every lying attack McCain makes and ignoring all the negative things they could discuss regarding McCain...it's like 2000 all over again....I HATE THE FUCKING MEDIA!

4. She is a Zombie,....
..the "un-dead", if you will. She can not be stopped, but she is weak and slow. No more effort needed to further belittle her.

5. Because the parent corps. of the news networks do better with...
...Republicans in office. They won't cover it unless they are forced to ~ say, if the Obama campaign pushes it.

8. But if Obama-Biden mention it they will be accused
of going negative. It needs someone else to bring it up.

6. It needs a celebrity or politican to mention it.
Otherwise the MSM will ignore it.

7. Robert Kennedy Jr. tried to talk about it last nite on Larry King...
Larry cut him off so fast you'd think someone had a gun to his head.

Hmmm.... maybe someone did.

13. And he was just talking about it now on Ring of Fire
Before the commercial.... Now they're talking about something potentially worse: Chimpy's deployment of US Military on our own soil.

10. They're afraid of McPalin and are cowering in the corner.
Rick Sanchez (CNN) did a segment on it during the week and read an unpleasant email from the McScum camp. I read here, the next day I think, that they had removed any evidence of having aired the segment from their website.

Working the refs is paying off nicely for McPalin. :mad:

12. The media is dead
The real questions are being asked by David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Colbert, Maher, and other non-news personalities.
The MSM should be ashamed of themselves for their complicity in ruining our democracy.

14. I think you nailed it, Loge...
The Fourth Estate is official dead in the USA. I still haven't come to terms with it.

15. Ayers
I think Wexler in Florida should start talking about this. Florida papers would then likely pick it up.

I was screaming at my tv when Kristina V. didn't mention it yesterday when talking about Ayers. There needs to be a real effort to have this brought up every time Ayers is mentioned. It is more of a direct relationship than Liddy.

16. The press covers what the candidates are talking about
They're not going to cover the AIP unless Obama makes it an issue.

They weren't covering Ayers until McCain started pushing it.

17. Because she is a white woman from an all american state so it can't be true
that's it story over nothing to see here

18. It goes to the same question...except for David Letterman, the media is
being silent on McInsane's relationship with G. Gordon Liddy.

Of course Keith and Rachel reported on Letterman pushing it into McInsane's face..now silence.
