Palin isn't "dismissive" of MSM. She's an idiot & she knows it. It's a GOP strategy against media.

by John Aravosis:

Palin isn't dismissive of the traditional media. She's an idiot, and she knows it. And the only way she can get around constantly being called out for being wrong, and making up fake words (and thinking they're actually real words), is by going after the gate-keepers. It's what Republicans have been doing for years. While some, I'm sure, actually believe the mainstream media is wrong and biased. I think conservative leaders, who long ago master-minded the effort to undercut the traditional media, are more concerned that their message - their false message - can't survive in a country in which a free press fact checks false politicians. So they constantly undermine the press, and at the same time, hope to push the press even farther to the right than it already is.

Palin isn't dismissive of the traditional media. She's trying to get rid of it, in the public's eye, because it poses a danger to her plans to snooker the people into office.

PS At some point, the traditional media had better start fighting back. Their name is already, increasingly, mud to the public at large. And a good portion of the blame goes to the GOP, and their propaganda organ, FOX News, who have been telling the public for years that the media is biased. The media, the real media, then turns around and embraces FOX, while trying to figure out what they've done wrong to so anger people like Palin. And then they wonder why their readership is down.

1. I keep waiting for them to fight back, instead of kowtowing to the Right

The Right's repeated (and well-orchestrated) demands that the "Liberal" media be fair have caused the MSM to present the most outrageous and extreme spokespersons and views in an effort to appear balanced.

The judgement of history will not be kind to those journalists, once considered respectable, who are so willing to cave to this kind of intimidation.

2. The Corporate Media (R) embraces Fox Propaganda because

they have owners with similarly infested minds, who hire news spokesmodels with similarly twisted souls. The so-called MSM is virtually all a RepubliCorporate Borg of narrow think. And it does not serve the people or the nation. It serves only the RepubliCorporte Borg.

3. Yes, she is.

Dismissing the MSM is pretty much her occupation these days. She can't play the victim without inventing an aggressor.

4. The GOP isn't against the media; they OWN it.
