MEDIA SUCKS

I am sickened by our sources of news; television and print. An uncomplimentary article accusing VP candidate Sara Palin as plain……meanwhile very complementary articles on both Barack Obama and Michelle Obama. Okay so another source of news idolizing Obama, what else is new???
But fair come on….who are these people A Newsweek article by R. Wolffe on Mrs. Obama, proclaimed her as intelligent, professional, gorgeous, and a mother (2008 ).
Why is Palin not granted the same sort of praise for her accomplishments?????? Mrs. Palin is educated, attractive, a mother of five, a wife, a governor, and a VP candidate! Now the facts is she is the governor of the largest state in our country – albeit land mass opposed to population, but she has over an 80% approval rating (unheard of in politics) and runs a state full of natural resources. This woman is being discredited for being plain……..According to Meacham in the Newsweek article Sara connects to everyday Americans (2008)….WHAt IS WRONG WITH THAT????
I want to connect and relate to my representatives; who wouldn’t????
Meacham goes on to suggest we need to hold our candidates to a higher standard than Sara Palin; why is governor of Alaska not considered a high standard? I suppose the higher standard is a man with two years experience in the Senate… A higher standard is a man who affiliates himself with radicals…..a man who has had no executive power…..and a man who promotes socialism????
Every man/woman in this country has the right and opportunity to reach their dreams; not be penalized for doing so…. WHY ARE WE IDOLIZING A MAN PROMOTING OTHERWISE????
Please recognize a great speaker does not make a great man……….many people are salesman, Personally I admire an individual whose success rests solely on their accomplishments not one who can smooth talk and sell you what you want to hear….
