Associated Press Bias

[NWPow]

Is the press out to get Sarah Palin? You betcha. In fact, we have the evidence.

Since Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin accepted Sen. John McCain’s invitation to join the GOP ticket as his running mate, negative news reports about her have flooded from the major media outlets.

We decided to take a peak at Associated Press headlines mentioning Palin since Sept. 3, the date of her GOP acceptance speech.

What we found was astounding. We found no comparable trend of negative stories relating to Barack Obama or his running mate Joe Biden. Here is a sampler of AP headlines:

tl;dr.... cliffs notes?

 

[2001400ex]

McCain wanted buzz and he got it.

 

[highmtn]

funny havent seen press on Biden's "Mark my words" speech where he predicted International crisis within 6 mo if obama is elected. In fact, haven't heard anything from him

 

[weetee]

McCain wanted buzz and he got it.

This to you is "buzz"? The correct term is character assassination.

 

[2001400ex]

Oh, because calling a presidential candidate a terrorist, communist and Marxist is not a character assissination? It is about time the democrats have fought back in-kind.

Well when ya hang out with a terrorist the likes of Ayers (maximum scumbag) and a douch like Wright, your main shhtick is class warfare...well then yes. The dems fighting back.... your're pathetic.

Thanks for your thoughts!! LOL The Republican's/Hilary have been on the complete offensive from the beginning. From the Muslim lie to Wright to drumming up Ayers and now Khalid. It is Swift Boat all over again and I feel sorry for those that believe these tactics.

Simple to fix. Have him release the LA Times article, his real birth certificate, his college documents, the Kenyan records, have him actually do a press interview that asks hard questions. Have the comedians and news give us unbiased reporting and equal treatment. And, tell him to quite trying to divide America. Then we'll talk. Otherwise, well watch - wait, and see a transfer of power over the next 4 years.

So, how much does Obama pay you to do this. Does anyone we know on Snowest actually know who you are? Have you ever owned a snowmobile for anything other than skiing? See, tough questions, there not that hard to man up to.

LOL, stong words from another anonymous person. But if you read around, you will find out enough about me. One thing, my signature tells a little something (except I need to update to get rid of the 1995 AC). No, Obama does not pay me, I am just bored in my hotel room, see I have to travel around the country to pay my bills. I am a CPA who works 2,800 hours a year, pretty contrary to the Republican description of a Democrat.

Yes, I have ridden with a few Snowesters, but since I have a 3 year old and a wife and work so much, I only go up the mountain 5 or so times a year. And too big too ski, like my thumb, not gravity controlling where I go. Your turn!!

And, O'Reilly's interview didn't have tough questions? puhlease.

What's to know. I grew up in Tennessee, a fortunate victim if civil rights busing. I actually don't think black and white, more like leeches and good people. I know most everyone in Boise that snowmobiles. I go to the forest meetings. I have a conservative up bringing, and non religious. Snowmobiling brought me to Idaho, and is my religion. I get to work with everyone else, and leave well after the last, not to mention a thousand hours of unused vacation. I'm the guy that solves engineering problems. I can do anything well, but nothing great. I'm Mr. Science, and believe anything can be fixed with science, as long as the bureaucrat isn't allowed to help. I fully believe in the rights of American's to use their public lands. And, find no basis scientifically in the vodoo of idiots like Al Gore.

Anyway, I'm quite good at predicting the future, and I see something dark within the heart of Obama. He's hiding something. I predict he may become our countries most famous President, but not for the right reasons. We shall see. I really do hope no one shoot him, I'd much rather he fall at the hands of his own party.

"Puhlease" (wow, I feel like a nerd CPA just typing that) Ok, that’s one good interview. You conveniently ignored the rest of wades statement. Lets try again.

(gulp, gulp, good kool-aid, gulp, gulp, I love Obama, gulp, gulp, I hate America)

I see you watched FoxNews last night. See the rest of the news world was focusing on issues, you know, what the problems are in our country. FoxNews is continuing their character assissination on Obama. But remember, the most watched cable new channel is not part of the media.

I wonder was it is like living in dreamland?
