More Quote of the Day Honorable Mentions, Part 22

*
Stupid Lamestream Media Tricks Edition...

Candance Moore:
"Conveniently tucked away at the end of a column about liberal bloggers was an admission from Time magazine's Joe Klein that the Senate's healthcare bill would transfer wealth from upper class Americans to the working poor... Whatever it takes to finally realize the goal of a massive wealth distribution plan... Don't stop and think for a moment that someone who likes Sarah Palin could possibly be right about something. The Senate bill seizes wealth, and that should be enough to make you happy. At least someone in the media was honest enough to admit it."
Moonbattery:
"Sarah Palin's new job as an analyst at Fox News has inspired yet another round of bilious projection from the establishment left. Guess what she was called on dumb-as-a-rock Joy Behar's show? Dumb, of course. Equally amusing, the slavish worshipers of Dear Reader accused Saracuda of over-reliance on a teleprompter... Keep it up, libs. You've just about triggered America's gag reflex."
Jason Antebi:
"Of course, whenever Palin's son Trig, who suffers from Down Syndrome, is mentioned, Behar goes into overdrive, barely able to contain her crass jokes. In the past, Behar has entertained questions as to whether or not Trig is actually Sarah Palin's son. Now, she accuses Palin of parading the boy out in front of crowds, comparing him to a 'joint' being passed around at a Grateful Dead concert..."
Robert Costa:
"Did Politico’s Mike Allen read Going Rogue? If he did, he’d know that his scoop [the 'O’Biden' non-story] on Sarah Palin is actually quite old... O, please. Palin detailed all of this months ago on page 289 of her book."
Howard Kurtz:
"Sarah Palin, who regularly rips the media, is becoming a television pundit at a place where she's likely to feel at home [FOX News}... The exposure can only help Palin if she decides to pursue a 2012 presidential bid."
John Tantillo:
"This was an absolutely brilliant thing for Fox to do. But the most important thing is for the network to let Sarah be Sarah. She is a natural brand that people recognize and like instantly. They should just let her be herself... [If] the audience detects that she's getting too fancy and they're going to think she's become one of 'them.' You know. The 'media'."
Larry O'Connor:
"A popular, telegenic former Governor who ran on the national ticket one year ago will now be a frequent contributor to the highest-rated cable news network. And, considering that CNN and MSNBC are bleeding money and viewers, it makes one wonder: Why didn’t they try to hire the governor? What fun it would have been to watch Sarah vs. Katie II: This Time, It’s Personal. Could it be that their blatant political agenda keeps the MSM from making sound business decisions? That noise you’re hearing outside your windows right now is the sound of liberals’ heads exploding in rage and frustration. One other important note, Ms. Palin will most likely be working without a teleprompter. Imagine that."
Freedom's Lighthouse:
"Here is shocking video - an Associated Press report on Sarah Palin's move to Fox News that is totally straightforward and fair! There is not one shot at her in the entire report."
Noel Sheppard:
"It's going to be REALLY delicious when Fox programs Palin appears on have far higher ratings than all of the self-professed intellectually superior MSNBCers' such as Matthews, Maddow, and Olbermann. Of course, it won't matter for they'll just keep calling her and her viewers dumb. Ain't life grand?"
Noel Sheppard:
"While mainstream media members continue to belittle her at every opportunity, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin attracted huge audiences in her first two official appearances as a Fox News Channel contributor... Eat your hearts out liberal media!"
Page Six:
"Sarah Palin was a smart hire for Fox News Channel, judging by the ratings for her debut on 'The O'Reilly Factor' on Tuesday. The former Alaska governor's first appearance as an analyst drew 3.954 million viewers -- more than everything else on other cable new shows combined in the 8 p.m. hour."
Lori Calabrese:
"Not only does FOX News give Palin a platform to discuss her views to her core supporters, it also gives her a chance to speak to her critics, and strengthen her political image. The regular discussion on politics will allow Palin to expand her credibility and defend herself against the regular media scrutiny that follows the former Governor wherever she goes."
Bob Ellis:
"Most of us have known since last year that the 'mainstream' media jackals who so love to claim Sarah Palin is stupid are themselves the epitome of pettiness and closed-mindedness. But sometimes a moment comes along that you just can’t allow to pass without comment... At MSNBC this morning... Mika Brzezinski, in her zeal to hit Palin again, revealed herself as something less than the brightest bulb in the pack."
Moonbattery:
"Sullivan now sees a grand conspiracy between the Republican Party, FoxNews, and the Christian Right ... probably in cooperation with the saucer people and the reverse vampires... to install Sarah Palin as Queen of the Nazi Christian Theocracy they will install after an incompetent Obama Administration response to a major terrorist incident (which is kind of a given)."
Terry Mattingly:
"After this latest Palin firestorm it’s time to ask: Why can’t journalists learn to understand how ordinary evangelicals talk? ...It may be time to circulate a basic 'How Evangelicals Talk' phrase book that can be used in elite newsrooms..."
Geoffrey Dickens:
"While Matthews eventually admitted he appreciated her choice of Washington, he went on to mock Palin praising the 'diverse opinion' of the Founding Fathers, because Matthews thought Palin was referring to their economic/racial diversity when she used that term: 'But the lack of knowledge. Keep saying 'diverse?' One thing there wasn't among the Founding Fathers was diversity! They were all a bunch of white aristocratic landowners.'"
Diane Suffern:
"This gem from Jerry Adler at Newsweek... I mean, it’s just so special... Real inventive, too. Great idea ramming MSNBC talking points and every single hyperbolic comedian’s conception into a solitary, sub-par effort at heroic couplet."
Lori Ziganto:
"Jerry Adler over at Newsweek is up to familiar tricks... Palin is the popular, pretty girl who doesn’t fit the liberals’ ideology nor their idea of what a woman should be. So, the other mean, catty, lesser girls (and boys) must scurry to their diaries and scrawl out insults. What is it, Jerry? Payback for collapsing with laughter when you asked us to the prom?"
Bill O'Reilly:
"[The lamestream media] on the left are very worried about the fact that Palin now has a place to state her case. A very well-watched place. That presents a clear and present danger to the liberal ideologues masquerading as press people. No longer can they mock Palin with impunity. Now she can mock them back, big time, and perhaps convince open-minded folks that her message is worthy... Simply put, Palin has a big opportunity to balance the playing field. Boy, do her critics hate that."
Rich Noyes:
"According to Rasmussen: 'Only 20% of all voters say most reporters try to offer unbiased coverage of a political campaign. Seventy-two percent (72%) say most reporters try to help the candidate they want to win...' Perhaps proving the point, on Friday, MSNBC anchor Savannah Guthrie reacted to polls showing the Democrats losing ground in Massachusetts by exclaiming: 'This is bad.'"
