The Media War on Sarah Palin Continues

Filed under: 2008 Election,Media Bias — DRJ @ 11:57 am



[Guest post by DRJ]

Today’s AP article attacks Sarah Palin as just another self-dealing Alaska politician:

“Gov. Sarah Palin’s signature accomplishment – a contract to build a 1,715-mile pipeline to bring natural gas from Alaska to the Lower 48 – emerged from a flawed bidding process that narrowed the field to a company with ties to her administration, an Associated Press investigation shows.”

Meanwhile, just 19 months ago, Republicans in the Alaska Senate criticized Palin’s plan because it encouraged too many companies to enter the bidding process:

“Sen. Charlie Huggins, R-Wasilla, said there was concern that despite the inducements offered by the state to lure a potential pipeline builder into the bidding process, the state was running a huge risk of licensing a pipeline operator without any customers.

“My confidence level isn’t that high right now,” said Huggins, who is the chairman of the committee, during a hearing Monday.

Palin’s proposed legislation seeks to provide a framework in which pipeline builders can enter a competitive bidding process to construct a natural gas line that would bring North Slope gas to market.

The proposal, called the Alaska Gasline Inducement Act, or AGIA, offers several incentives to bidders intended to move the project forward. If the bill passes, it will allow the governor’s gas line team to award a license after a public and administrative review of applications.

Members of Palin’s gas line team defended the bill, saying the proposal was designed to create competition, not tailor the process to one particular entity.”

And despite the AP’s storyline, the Alaska legislature approved the license to TransCanada Corp., one of largest oil and gas pipeline companies in North America:

“The Alaska House approved the license on July 22, and Friday’s vote in the Senate sealed the popular Republican governor’s second major victory in two years against not only her opponents in the Legislature but also major oil companies Palin sometimes has poked publicly.

BP, Conoco Phillips and Exxon Mobil — which control most of the Slope’s prodigious 35 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves — opposed the TransCanada license and last year were unable to stop Palin’s push for higher oil taxes.”

The media should look closely at the candidates’ actions and the Palin-sponsored pipeline is a fair topic, but media investigations should also be objective and directed at all the candidates. Something is wrong when articles about Palin’s clothes get intense MSM coverage while Obama’s background, education, and associates are largely ignored.

  1. Obama’s background, education and associates are largely ignored?

    I could have sworn…

    Nope, you’re right.

  2. The lefty blogs are obsessed with Palin which encourages me that the polls are wrong and they suspect it.

    Mike K (2cf494)

  3. Just a thought:
    If, as many predict, the GOP gets blown away in this election, and the GOP in Alaska (with the exception of Sarah Palin) is obviously a damaged brand, would it not be smart for her to build a new party up there to roust-out the mossbacks in the legislature and other offices, that are starting to give government in Alaska a bad name?

    A new, improved Reform Party, anyone?

    Another Drew (a9cfc2)

  4. I just want to know how much her haircuts cost. After all, you guys were fascinated with the price of haircuts earlier, in the nomination campaign. Why is this subject being ignored now?

    Perhaps because Ms. Palin’s makeup and hair stylist is the highest-paid person in the McCain campaign, making more than $22,000 last month? Nah, that can’t be true, can it? That’s got to be more of the media’s “War on Sarah Palin.”

    Phil (6d9f2f)

  5. Too much baggage with that name, AD. Regardless of what happens with this election, Palin’s going to be a major force in the GOP for many years to come, and the MSM senses this implicitly. We’re currently viewing their histrionics thru the lense of pure terror on their part, their fear of watching her carrying out her duties in the WH shortly, ignoring them at will. They already realize that if she gets in now, their careers could shortly become non – existent.

  6. Palin raised taxes on oil?

    Isn’t that Socialism?

  7. I love everything about Sarah Palin. Especially when its in contrast to a mouth-breathing dipshit like Joe Biden. How much money has she sent to a criminal enterprise like ACORN? How many bald-faced (and incredibly obtuse)lies has she uttered on camera?

    The more exposure she gets the more Obama and Biden look like the clueless sacks of rat shit they are.

    Yaaaay Palin. Whoo

  9. The Messiah currently spends over $1,500 large on each suit, Philly. Gee, wonder where he gets all that cash for those wonderful suits? Is that wise for him to be wearing those suits, when so many folks are hurting financially out there?

    You want to talk about shady finances? How about how The One bought his home for $300,000 under the asking price, via the corrupt Rezko. How did he ever get a deal like that, particularly in a hotter – than – hell real estate market? Ho, ho, ho, it’s magic! You know…never believe it’s not so!

    http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/353829,CST-NWS-rez23.article

    And please tell us how the great man received a minimal interest loan through the same corrupt financier?

    So many questions, so little in – the – tank MSM interest, so little time. Shocking, I know.

  10. Phil:

    Because the GOP is the party that thinks it’s okay for people to make money, so there isn’t the hypocrisy that existed with Clinton and Edwards. But, by all means, investigate Palin and McCain — while also demanding that the media investigate Obama and Biden with the same intensity.

  11. Isn’t that Socialism?

    You’ve had the dynamics of the economic structure of Alaska detailed numerous times by now, Snuffy. Try another meme,you’ve already been schooled on that one.

  12. Apologies – I posted this to the wrong thread. It was intended for here:

    The shame of our party…

    The highest paid staffer
    of the PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
    of OUR POLITICAL PARTY
    is a MAKEUP ARTIST
    earning the equivalent of $500k+ per year
    in order to make a woman who is
    ALREADY PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL moreso.

    We have truly lost our way.

    FallingAngel (b8c7e2)

  13. It is VERY IMPORTANT that we continue to probe and analyze Obama’s liabilities – especially his “background, education, and associates” as you mentioned, DRJ.

    It is equally important, however, for us to acknowledge our own campaign’s flaws in order to learn from them and do better moving forward.

    We may still win this election. Regardless, we’ll have to fight for the next one and the next one after that – ad infinitum. Let’s make sure that the next time around the idiot political consultants to the campaign don’t do something as stupid as spending $150,000 at Neiman-Marcus the next time around.

    FallingAngel (b8c7e2)

  14. I’m confused, Dmac.

    Palin increases taxes on successful oil companies and uses the extra money to boost every Alaskan’s welfare check, but that’s not Social because????

    snuffles (677ec2)

  15. Phil – If Obama wins do you think he will continue to send his daughters to expensive private schools like other middle class Americans or show support for the public school system?

    “Too much baggage with that name”, perhaps, but no less baggage than GOP, after the blow-out that might be coming.
    The GOP is currently splintering itself into various factions that have no coherent philosophy except for the few guys (and girls, I’m sure) who still believe in, and advocate the message of smaller government.
    People like Sen Coburn of OK, Reps like Flake and Shadegg of AZ, Hensarling of TX, and Pence of IN, could be the nexus of a new revitalized GOP but the name will have too much baggage attached.
    Let Chris Buckley and Colin Powell (if he is even a registered Republican) be the face of the me-too GOP. I’m not interested in that party, neither was Barry Goldwater in 1964, or Ronald Reagan, or Newt Gingrich (until he lost his nerve in the shutdown).
    Let’s have a new party that is a diametrically opposite to the Socialism/Authoritarianism that has captured the Party of Jefferson and Jackson.
    As Barry said: “A Choice, Not An Echo!”

  17. “Palin increases taxes on successful oil companies and uses the extra money to boost every Alaskan’s welfare check, but that’s not Social because????”

    snuffles – Stop it. You have been schooled on this butt munch. Welfare programs are scaled by recipient based on financial qualification. The Alaska distributions are equal per resident regardless of income level.

    How is that equivalent to welfare. Please explain.

    daleyrocks (60704b)

  18. Is it still a “Media war on Sarah Palin” if Fox and Friends enjoys a ratings’ tsunami covering her?

    She’s good copy. Biden’s not. You ride the public fascination.

    If you truly believe that this hairdresser is the highest paid staffer in the McCain/Palin Campaign, then they must have removed all of your brains when they took your wings.

    The top people of national campaigns such as this, make millions when it all shakes out.

    BTW, were you complaining about the barber that BC flew across the country to cut his hair, or the expense of tying up LAX while AF-1 sat on the tarmac until Bill got his haircut in the plane?

    I didn’t think so.

    Another Drew (a9cfc2)

  20. Alaskans get government money for doing nothing, daley.

    Sounds like welfare to me.

    Alaska used to be owned by Russia, maybe that’s where this scam comes from?

  21. We have truly lost our way.

    Comment by FallingAngel

    What do you mean “we?” I’m not an Obamabot.

    This must be the latest seminar. “Mention the talking points in a sadder but wiser tone.”

    The fact that she needed clothes for a campaign that would require several outfits a day for her and her family is the evidence that she is the real person she says she is, unlike The One and Slow Joe. I’ve yet to see a piece on the makeover of Michelle or the effect on her salary of the earmarks her hubby got for U of Chicago.

    Mike K (2cf494)

  22. Alaskans get government money for doing nothing, daley.

    Sounds like welfare to me.

    The check you pick up every Wednesday at the unemployment office sounds like welfare to me.

    The oil rights are owned by the people of Alaska. The oil companies that drill for that oil pay royalties to the owners of the oil, the state residents. She negotiated a better deal on royalties. If you owned anything, you might understand.

    I don’t feed trolls but someone else might be reading this and be misled.

    You have to live in Alaska for a minimum time to be eligible for a share of the royalties to prevent slackers like snuffles from moving there for the summer and asking for a check.

    Mike K (2cf494)

  23. Phil – If Obama wins do you think he will continue to send his daughters to expensive private schools like other middle class Americans or show support for the public school system?

    Dailyrocks, I’m not interested in the Republicans’ dumb-assed “If Obama wins” campaign. It’s losing them the election, and they’re clinging to it because it’s what they’re good at — spreading fear.

    Meanwhile, these asshats have missed an incredible opportunity by ignoring McCain’s health plan in favor of trying to scare people into voting against Obama. But don’t believe me — just ask the Wall Street Journal.

    So don’t try to scare me with “if Obama wins” talk. If Obama wins, it’s your damn fault. In my opinion, McCain has all of you idiots to thank for losing him the election, by pressuring him an Palin to go purely negative (Ayers, ACORN, Obama is a terrorist socialist, etc), and basically ignoring the good things McCain brings to the table.

    Yeh, just another scam like the one that has no state income or property taxes.
    Of course, it’s hard to tax property when the biggest landowner in the state is a deadbeat, and refuses to pay under any circumstance.

    Phil – I know shadows probably scare you, but they aren’t racist even though they are usually tinted at least grey.

    That was a nice attempt to dodge the question though Phil. Will Obama contine to send his kids to expensive elite private schools like other middle class Americans or support public education?

    Daleyrocks, I was disappointed when GW Bush abandoned vouchers early in the No Child Left Behind negotiations. If Obama should win (God forbid), I hope the GOP has the sand to insist that any new education spending must include a voucher program. They can ally themselves with the Congressional Black Caucus on this issue. The simple question ought to be, “Shouldn’t all American children have the same educational opportunities as the Obama children?” Of course, the Dear Leader will howl at the indignity of his family’s personal matters being used for political reasons (he can commiserate with Governor Palin on that issue).

    What a fucking embarrassment.

    FallingAngel (b8c7e2)

  38. The Reality Based community, daley.

    snuffles – That would be the community-based reality. You folks can’t make any decisions for yourselves. That’s why Obama wants the government, run by elites, to make them for you.

    daleyrocks (60704b)

  39. With one exception:
    You only have to buy a wardrobe once to look good for the voters of America;
    Bill and John were getting their hair cut all the time so they could look good for the cuties they were seeing on the side.

    …and, Yes, you are!

    snuffles (677ec2)

  41. Re: haircuts. The GOP wants to see you rewarded for your success. Obama + Socialism want you to do without but pay for the slackers.

    It pulls in the question about private schools for Obama’s kids – or if they’ll attend public. I think we and Phil know the answer to that one. Obama and his family won’t be doing without. But you will be.

    Vermont Neighbor (c91cfe)

  42. Wasn’t the Obama in charge of fixing Chicago schools and he and that terrorist Ayers received a few hundred million to do so, only to leave them in a far worst condition then they found them?

    No wonder his kids don’t attend public schools in Chicago.

    Another news worthy story the MSM will ignore just to promote their messiah.

    ML (14488c)

  43. Sarah Palin and others who can do it (I don’t think John McCain can) need to continue talking “directly to the people” in whatever way they can. It needs to be direct, it needs to be in the face of her accusers, not mean-spirited but no-nonsense, it needs to shame them with whatever nanotube of shame that may still exist.

    She needs to say to the American people:

    “You know that story that the AP released on Saturday the 25th that accused me of making the gas pipeline deal a flawed process so I could get rich, the article written by Joe Journalist? Well, I called Joe Journalist and asked him if he would like to interview me and include my perspective on a follow-up story before I had to come before you and correct it myself. Mr. Journalist refused to accept my phone calls.”

    “So, let me state the following facts:
    1. For every one person Mr. Journalist can dig up to say something bad about me I will find three that argue the other way. I got to where I am because I stood against corruption and self-interest wherever I found it, including in my own party. There are plenty of people with ruffled feathers because of the stands I took for the people of Alaska, and they know it.
    2. The people of Alaska know this, and show their confidence in me with a 80% approval rating.
    3. Look at the record, prior to these allegations you will find that the previous concern that was widely reported was that the process had too many incentives to attract too much competition for the deal.
    4. Maybe Mr. Journalist needed to spend some time why no governor had managed to make this happen 10 years ago, to see who really was content with the share they were getting.
    5. Mr. Journalist and his colleagues either think you, the American people, are really stupid, or they need to coordinate their attacks a little. Joe is accusing me of being on the take and getting rich directing deals to corporations that will reward me, while Joe’s colleague Jane Journalist is pointing out how much is being spent on my wardrobe. That wardrobe became necessary when I went from being the governor of Alaska, a state not known for its pretentiousness, to being in the spotlight as the VP nominee. I haven’t been making money writing books filled with profanity and drug abuse, making large salaries as one with connections in a Chicago law firm, or getting help with the mortgage by a felon now doing jail time for fraud. If I didn’t need to go on a shopping spree you would have been asking where did I get the personal fortune to be so well dressed, and that attack would have been at least rational. If you want the details, the things are not mine, but purchased for my use. More things were purchased than I can or will wear, because, believe it or not, I didn’t have that much time to spend in the changing room trying things on! As far as other expenses go, I still prefer Alaskan salmon to Iranian caviar.”

    I enjoy this time talking to you, the American people, the people I work for. How much I get to do this will depend on Joe and Jane Journalist and their colleagues at the AP and other news sources that go to print with stories my mother would not have accepted in her English class. If I no longer have to come before you dealing with this nonsense, then instead of wasting our time with caribou dung we will talk about the issues we need to face and what we are doing about them.

    Like CNN? It “promoted their messiah” by meticulously substantiating the ACORN fraud and reporting the Ayers-Obama connection “went much deeper, ran much longer, and was much more political than Obama said.”

    It’s easier to believe in a hostile press than the idea that a majority of Americans are about to reject your core beliefs.

    snuffles (677ec2)

  47. Uh, there was just one reporter at CNN who initially did that piece, and in that first report he was contradicted by a tone of incredulousness by the program host, Wolf Blitzer. So no, that narrative is not losing altitude, the only reason the story gained strength is because bloggers and other non – MSM outlets kept hammering on it.

    Dmac, please choose another nickname for him

    Why? I believe that Ace came up with that one originally. Is there a copywright issue here?

    Dmac (e30284)

  48. I would also add that once McCain started talking about it and hammered on it during the debate, the MSM had no choice but to follow up on it, tails dragging all the way.

    Dmac (e30284)

  49. Steve

    So are you saying that 1 semi-critical 3 minute piece on Obama somehow makes up for the thousands of other negative pieces on Palin and McCain?

  52. #44 In your link about ACORN fraud, CNN does not mention any connection between Obama and ACORN, much less any mention of Obama’s surreptitious $800,000 donation to ACORN, or Obama personal work with ACORN.

    Imagine that.

    Perfect Sense (9d1b08)

  53. It’s a Democratic President thing, Phil. Jimmy Carter sent daughter Amy to Washington DC public schools to demonstrate his commitment to everyday values, and the Clintons considered it before sending Chelsea to Sidwell Friends.

    DRJ (c953ab)

  54. Isn’t there some irony here? Yeah, apparently some people were checking out Joe the Plumber’s drivers license info (it might have been anyone — reporters, the McCain Campaign, anyone). But in order for them to be discovered, someone had to be checking into who was checking into Joe the Plumber’s driver’s license info. Isn’t that even more snoopy than just checking into the info itself?

    Phil (3b1633)

  55. Phil,

    Remember when various people snooped into the Presidential candidates’ passport files? I think I recall reading that the federal systems flag for supervisory review all inquiries by unusual or unauthorized users. I assume state and local programs have similar safeguards.

    DRJ (c953ab)

  56. Dmac-

    I’m “MD from Philly“, remember? it makes me nervous to have his posts referred to in a way that overlaps my nickname- but it was meant to be tongue in cheek anyway.

    MD in Philly (3d3f72)

  57. Phil, now you are trying to claim that its more suspicious that peeking in files was noticed than that it happened.

    That isn’t the most dishonest spin you’ve made Phil, but it is the stupidest.

    SPQR (26be8b)

  58. SPQR, people’s drivers licenses are checked all the time. For all kinds of legitimate reasons. I check them myself, because checking records in my state is allowed if you’re going to use the information in litigation — for example, you’ve got a judgment against someone and you’re trying to collect.

    So the fact that Joe’s records were accessed isn’t something unusual that anyone would ordinarily “notice.” The fact that someone is checking to see who’s checking Joe’s driver’s license info is pretty unusual.

    Phil (3b1633)

  59. #59 What was the legitimate reason, shortly after speaking truth to power, that “Joe the Plumbers” driving records/license was checked using government computers/data bases?

    Perfect Sense (9d1b08)

    I obviously missed the context there – my bad.

    Dmac (e30284)

  61. In OHIO, only authorized governmental agencies are allowed to check that information.

    Preliminary reports seem to indicate that the computer systems of three authorized agencies were hacked into for the express purpose of checking this info in the DMV database.

    Another Drew (b6f99f)

  62. Phil,

    DMV and similar governmental information can be lawfully accessed but when it’s accessed in an unusual way – such as by an unauthorized user or via hacking – most systems are designed to catch and flag that. They may not always catch it but most systems attempt to, don’t you agree?

  68. Claudia Rosett has more on the CNN attack on Palin for
    going “rogue” with the staffers. Lots of anonymous sources. I expect Bradley Fikes would be interested but he doesn’t talk to me anymore so I don’t know. The erosion of standards in the press (including TV) is so serious that I would be ashamed to be associated with them.

    I wonder how long it will take for them to go after talk radio ?

    I’m pretty much with Mark Levin on the outcome of an Obama presidency, especially with the Democrat dominated Congress. I hope the Obama voters now what they are in for.

    There is a cult-like atmosphere around Barack Obama, which his campaign has carefully and successfully fabricated, which concerns me. The messiah complex. Fainting audience members at rallies. Special Obama flags and an Obama presidential seal. A graphic with the portrayal of the globe and Obama’s name on it, which adorns everything from Obama’s plane to his street literature. Young school children singing songs praising Obama. Teenagers wearing camouflage outfits and marching in military order chanting Obama’s name and the professions he is going to open to them. An Obama world tour, culminating in a speech in Berlin where Obama proclaims we are all citizens of the world. I dare say, this is ominous stuff.

    I think so, too.
