MSM is at fault and how Obama should use the MSM to attack Palin
(And I don't mean whine like McCain does but show their dubious coverage)
My first thought
Why is the one being lied about questioned but not the one who lied?
Remind you of anyone?
Try Jerome Corsi.
My theory based on that thought .........
Treat her like Jerome Cosri
The MSM gave Corsi his stage without calling him on his lies.
Palin maybe V.P. but again no says anything.
Obama should not answer these attacks on him publicly, it gives them more legs then it needs. They should push back by pointing out line by line of all the lies, just like Jerome Corsi's book. However attacks on her record like the bridge to No-Where should be done behind the scenes and in public (not speeches, but Ads)
*Interviews and speeches are for McBush
I'm not the only one who think MSM is at fault
Dem strategist Paul Begala this morning on CNN:
PAUL BEGALA, CNN POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR: Because the press won't do its job, John. I criticized Barack Obama when he hasn't been tough enough. Barack's job is to run against John McCain, right. Don't shoot the monkey when you can shoot for the organ grinder. His job is not to focus on number two but number one.
But it is the media's job when a politician flat out lies like she's doing on this bridge to nowhere so call her on it. Or this matter of earmarks where she's attacking Barack Obama for having earmarks, when she was the mayor of little Wasilla, Alaska, 6,000 people, she hired a lobbyist who was connected to Jack Abramoff, who is a criminal and they brought home $27 million in earmarks. She carried so much pork home she got trichinosis. But we in the media are letting her tell lies about her record.
*Note
The continuing fall of the MSM.
Obama has to answer false accusations, which he shouldn't have to. He also has to let people know Palin's true record, history and experience because it's not being told. We know she is a distraction but ignoring her would be naive. She'll continue lying, Obama will have to call her on it but has every one forgotten?
it's the MSM's job in the first place.
