More Quote of the Day Honorable Mentions, Part 68

*
"Leftist Media Open Microphone" Edition...

Ron Devito at the Sarah Palin Information Blog:
"Following Gov. Palin’s speech at Stanislaus last night, several reporters made disparaging remarks about her not knowing or caring the mic was open. Full of snark, they quipped about how it was “not possible to capture dumbness in two soundbites.” Apparently, it is possible, because these reporters just did, capturing their own rank stupidity on an open mic... This behavior is precisely why they are called 'lamestream'. If these reporters so could not stand Gov. Palin, they had an obligation to recuse themselves... This video captured an egregiously unethical, and unprofessional act."
Sissy Willis at Liberty Pundits:
"It’s downright Weigelesque."
Michael Walsh at Big Journalism:
"Now that the media has embraced its inner partisan, expect to see a lot more of this behavior... What happens when you combine juvenile snark with the loss of professional standards? Now you know."
Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit:
"What a shock..."
Patrick S. Adams at Patrick's World USA:
"Apparently, reporters in today's 'media' tend to act more like frat boys than professionals. And that showed. The only thing missing on the video was a keg and scantily clad women."
Jennifer Cubachi at Cubachi:
"This is a potentially big expose on MSM bias, but we’re busy worrying about Dave Weigel. Let’s get our priorities straight conservatives. We deserve truth in reporting, not MSNBC style reportage. Is it any wonder why the media is deemed untrustworthy by the American public?"
Mark Harvey at The Snooper Report:
"I wonder why the Obamabots in the Obamedia are so deathly afraid of Sarah Palin?"
Sister Toldjah:
"Camera/audio guys are one thing, but MSM journalists saying crap like this is something else... The next and most obvious question is, of course, who were the journalists who uttered the remarks? I can pretty much guarantee that we will never know. Journo-'solidarity' and all that... And people STILL wonder why conservatives are so distrustful of the mainstream media?"
Bruce Kesler at Maggie's Farm:
"Be an adult, be a professional, or get the hell off the stage or be exposed for a child playing with other people’s lives and too self-concerned to admit it."
Tammy Bruce:
"Although there will be no apology I do think an important message has been sent to all parties–there are no more Free Shots at Sarah Palin. Not any more. And I think it’s also fair to say that this will be the last hot mic Fox40 ever allows."
Ed Morrissey at Hot Air:
"If these were opinion journalists, these comments would be no problem. If they’re news reporters expected to render an objective, fact-based report on the event, I’d say that they have a bright future at MSNBC."
Ed Driscoll at Right Wing News:
"If there's a theme that ties this week's events together, it's to assume that all mics are hot, all emails risk becoming public, and all information captured by journalists no matter how off the record will eventually escape."
Left Coast Rebel:
"The worst thing about systemic liberal media bias is that the media denies it even exists. Those of us with two brain cells to rub together know better..."
Don Surber at the Charleston Daily Mail:
"They were unaware that a microphone was picking up their sarcastic remarks. The most ironic: 'dumbness doesn’t come from soundbites.' No, it comes from feigning objectivity... and ridiculing those who you are supposed to cover fairly."
Ian Lazaran at Conservatives 4 Palin:
"Did these journalists get their degrees from the University of Weigel or what?"
