Lori Ziganto: Palin Media Bias Rears Its Head In Hilarious Wishful Thinking

*
At David Horowitz's NewsReal Blog, Lori Ziganto gives the lamestream media a good slicing and dicing. Excerpts:

Earlier this week, the media once again displayed why no one can take them seriously. The Fourth Estate is totally insolvent and is declaring bankruptcy, morally and otherwise. In this recent instance, having to do with Tuesday night’s Republican primary in Alaska, it was at least quite hilarious.

You see, Sarah Palin had endorsed Joe Miller over the incumbent alleged Republican Senator, Lisa Murkowski. As Jim Treacher at The Daily Caller lays out, and as Ace of Spades also noted, the media was so hell-bent on a way to discredit Sarah Palin that they indulged in the child-like behavior of squinting your eyes closed to reality and wishing really, really hard that fantasy comes true.

[...]

They cannot cover up the obvious fact that the media inevitably tries to pin any defeat at all on Sarah Palin and, in this case, they went so far as to wish for said defeat solely in order to do so. But any wins? Oh, no. That’s not due to silly, old Sarah Palin. That’s due to anger. Remember, we wing-nuts are super angry and violence fomenting. Or something. I can’t keep all the accusations straight, particularly when it is the Left committing the only acts of political violence.

[...]

It’s funny how we were told that then candidate Obama’s mere running of a campaign was experience enough to be President of the United States, but any new face in the GOP lacks accomplishments and only some insane form of frothing at the mouth anger propels them to victory. I’ll spell it out in simple terms for you, leftist media: Miller won because Murkowski is a horrible Senator. His campaign was thankfully boosted by Sarah Palin, whom many people respect and admire.

[...]

They are people who are tired of electing representatives who do not reflect their beliefs nor their policy choices. They are people who want the best for this country, out of love, not out of spiteful anger nor hatred. They are people like me and my neighbors.

And we vote. I suggest that you get used to eating that crow. Because, we’ll see you in November.
