Sarah Palin: The Liberal Media’s Heart of Darkness

*
Gov. Palin posted this Monday on her Facebook Notes page:

Journey into the Media’s Heart of Darkness

How ironic that on a day when we celebrate the 20th anniversary of the enactment of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, The Daily Caller released 15 pages of JournoListers’ email exchanges about a dark and demented conspiracy regarding my son, Trig.

It’s tough to fittingly describe these numerous members of the mainstream media who actively engaged in the debate about this conspiracy back when I was first introduced as John McCain’s running mate, and it’s impossible to legitimize any “prominent” media publication that continues to traffic in this bizarre narrative today. It wasn’t just a few fringe characters in that JournoList discussion. It included writers for major newspapers, magazines, and online news publications. Those participating in this immature exchange in attempts to plant seeds of doubt and falsely accuse even included a famous historian.

This JournoList exchange exposes the warped nature of today’s media, thus explaining why many of us are forced, in fairness to the public, to utilize other mediums to communicate until the mainstream media wakes up and begins respecting the public’s intelligence and desire for truth in reporting. There is a sickness and darkness in today’s liberal media. With revelations like the JournoList exchanges, may the light keep shining to expose the problem.

It’s always darkest before the dawn. My hope, therefore, is that today, marking the anniversary of our nation’s attempt to show respect for our brothers and sisters, sons and daughters with special needs, will also mark the beginning of a new, more respectful discourse among members of our media who at least aspire to be fair and objective.

Thies: The Camerons share a special bond with the Palins

Economics professor Clifford Thies, who is also Senior Editor of Libertarian Republican, says the new occupants of 10 Downing Street share a special bond with the Palin family of Alaska:

David and Samantha Cameron, like Todd and Sarah Palin, embody the center-right belief in family and other forms of voluntary community, as well as in individual freedom and responsibility, in their families. The first child of the Camerons, like the fifth child of the Palins, was special.

Concerning the condition of their first child, David Cameron said, "The news hits you like a freight train ... You are depressed for a while because you are grieving for the difference between your hopes and the reality. But then you get over that, because he's wonderful.” Similarly, this is what Sarah Palin said about her special child, “I’m looking at him right now, and I see perfection. Yeah, he has an extra chromosome. I keep thinking, in our world, what is normal and what is perfect?”

Dr. Thies reiterates that Libertarian Republicans "oppose the agenda of death, of forced abortion, euthanasia, and government ordered 'do not treat' lists."
