Time To Cover Liberal Media Bias

So I had to apologize to other shoppers in a store today when I saw the cover of Time magazine. Sarah Palin was standing tall with a title of "The Renegade.". My immediate reaction was to say "What the .......................!!!!?"

Anyone explain this? (specifically those who tout the liberal media stuff). Why is Palin being lauded as a hero?

I suppose it just works a lot of RINOs into a rage that someone would say something nice about Sarah Palin. I've met people so consumed by their own hateful spirits that they get angry when something said about someone isn't hateful.

It is, under pretext of public utility, and in the name of the general interest, to be place(d) under contribution, drilled, fleeced, exploited, monopolized, extorted from, squeezed, hoaxed, robbed; then, at the slightest resistance, the first word of complaint, to be repressed, fined, vilified, harassed, hunted down, abused, clubbed, disarmed, bound, choked, imprisoned, judged, condemned, shot, deported, sacrificed, sold, betrayed; and to crown all, mocked, ridiculed, derided, outraged, dishonored." -Pierre-Joseph Proudhon

Perhaps it's because "Maverick" was already taken... and beaten into the ground?

Isn't it interesting that between McCain the Maverick and Palin the Renegade... the top Republicans' strategy has been to convince people that they're not really Republicans?

The GOP is still in a fog after it's November bashing. The GOP seemingly is content to sit on the sidelines sniping and criticizing the Obama administration and Democrats, while doing little else.

There is a leadership void in the GOP. Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh made attempts to lead, but their efforts seemingly have been dismissed.

Meanwhile Sarah Palin and the pathetic Todd see an opportunity. Palin has become a media favorite for many reasons, her knowledge of the issues not being one of them.

Palin sees big bucks on the lecture circuit now, so why stay on as Governor of Alaska which would keep her isolated from the lower 48.

Palin's extreme conservatism and divisive style will eventually turn off moderates and independents leaving her with little support. Palin will get rich, but she will never get the nomination as the standard bearer for the GOP in 2012.

Contrary to all the ranting, the United States media does not typically slant to the left. If anything, compared to similar countries, such as Canada or England, it slants rightwing.

I doubt the press in America could be more rightwing than the press in the UK:

Daily Mail - Populist far right
Daily Express - populist right
Sun - populist right
Telegraph - old school right
Times - Center Right
Star - Populist
Independant - Center
Guardian - Center Left
Mirror - Populist left

Considering the media in America are owned lock, stock and barrel by the power elite, I just laugh when people claim it had a "liberal bias." It has a corporatist bias, because corporations own it.
