Why is the media kissing Palins ass everyday on the networks

[bigdarryl]

This is over kill i saw Tweety yesterday saying he even thinks she can be President and the republican woman he was debating with though he was wrong. Matt Laure was ready to kiss her feet if he was standing next to her this morning.

1. MSNBC is reporting on the Palin story (uh, the Lauer "interview")

every HALF HOUR. Seriously.

[lxlxlxl]

3. Our liberal media at work...jesus shes on right now, didnt they just run this segment?

ugh...

GET HER OFF MY TV PLEASE

[grantcart]

2. The more the better

[ksoze]

4. controversy = viewers = ratings = $$$$. Simple.

[Arkansas Granny]

6. And that is the correct answer!

[YOY]

5. She sinks her own ships everytime she opens her lips.

Further cementing that most American's know she's a fucking imbecile who should never hold public office...and that some idiots would continue polishing this piece of shit well past the expiration date.

7. For the same reason we keep seeing the failed former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich,...

...failed former presidential contender John McCain, failed former vice-president and torturer Dick Cheney (and his daughter), and failed former "gotta-get-off-Oxy" hate-radio commentator Rush Limbaugh. CorpMedia loves the GOP's "failed formers!"

8. + 1

[Liberal Gramma]

10. The pool they have to draw from is pretty small

there don't seem to be any successful GOPs to tap for comments.

[BlooInBloo]

9. Because she's milfy.

[Pirate Smile]

11. She's going to be on CNN later also - I guess Wolf is (or already has) interviewing her

today.

I think it is a good day to watch the new Churchill movie on HBO. I keep checking for news on the Iranian election and I see Palin instead - arrggghhhhh!

[SpartanDem]

12. It's not about kissing her ass, but pushing the latest "controversy"

why focus on real issues when you can drum up ratings pushing this crap

[Clio the Leo]

13. Same reason we talk about her here.....

.... she draws attention.

But it's not like she's particularly skilled in the oratory dept. I say put her on every news show every day of the week .... let her dig herself in a little deeper into the hole she's created.

[HughBeaumont]

14. She's Corporate UhMerica's only hope.

And what a SAD mare to ride your hopes on. They're seriously gambling with this one, trying to rebuild her as a fallible but capable candidate.

To anyone who actually has a brain stem, we see that she isn't fit to run a Burger King, let alone this country.

Just remember that 57 million people in this country thought it was a good idea to put this nutjar one heartbeat away from the presidency.

15. double standards

here Palin is laughing at an opponent, who was also a recovering cancer patient, as the radio host calls the opponent "fat" and a "bitch".

and here she is saying Hilary Clinton shouldn't "whine" about the media:

yeah, she's really a feminist, standing up for women and girls around the nation. Puke. WHy didn't Matt Lauer call her on this utter hypocrisy? It's OK to laugh at another woman's body weight when she's recovering from cancer, but late night jokes about your Candies' spokesmodel daughter are not OK?

which is it?

[CitizenPatriot]

16. oh, they removed that audio now

here is the transcript from alternet:

" Early on in the conversation before Palin started to crack up, Lester referred to Sen. Green as a jealous woman and a cancer. Palin, who knows full well Lyda Green is a cancer survivor, didn't do what any decent person would do, say, "Bob, that's going too far."

But as the conversation moved on, Lester intensified his attack on Green.

Lester questioned Green's motherhood, asking Palin if the senator cares about her own kids. Palin laughs.

Then Lester clearly sets the stage for what he is about to say by warning his large audience and Palin. He says, "Governor you can't say this but I will, Lyda Green is a cancer and a b----." Palin laughs for the second time.

What were teenage boys thinking when they heard the governor laugh at someone being called a b----? How about the teenage girls who look up to Palin. What did they think when they heard her laugh?

But there is more. Lester then describes Green's chair as big and cushy. A clear reference to the senator's weight. Palin laughs a third time. She's just having a grand old time.

Palin was clearly enjoying every second of Lester's vicious attack on her political rival."

18. Groups like N.O.W. helped put the Palin Pity Party story in the headlines

Sarah Palin is basking in the pity... and gaining more popularity because some groups are too self-indulgent to actually what repercussions would happen if they played the Outrage Card.
