Would you mind pointing out the MSM that's jumping all over this alleged Palin affair?
Well I googled "palin affair enquirer" and got lots of hits from minor papers and a few major ones.

But most of those were about the McCain campaign fighting back against the charges.

But I did not find anything like a NY Times headline "Palin had affair?" etc. So perhaps you are right.

BTW how come no one talked about the Obama cover story from April??

Is O'Reilly not good enough for you? He's way more hostile than have of the (imaginary) MSM.

How long it take for him to hit bill's show? Palin can wait a year then like Obama did to face any hard questions. The O'Reilly interview is the first hard one he has had after 19 months of softball questions by the Obama worshipping MSM.

Because Michelle and Barack's behavior on the campaign trail makes the story unlikely. Also, even if it were true it's not that relevant to BHO's message. Palin's potential sins are more interesting because she's a fundie holier-than-thouer.

The Sarah Palin Affair and the Secret Baby

There have been a lot of investigations in the media this past week which have tried to delve into Sarah Palin's background.

This online journal for one will not be prying into the salacious aspects of these stories.

We will not print details of the sordid, lascivious affair the Alaskan governor and Republican vice-presidential nominee had with her husband's business associate.

We will not stoop to reporting on the mysterious circumstances surrounding the birth of her fifth baby: ie, why nobody seemed to know in Alaska and why there are no medical records of the birth.

What's more, we will never descend to writing stories about Palin's well-documented years as a high-class Anchorage hooker, her known ties to the Colombian drug mob and her proven abduction by aliens.

We are above all that.


Then perhaps you should provide attribution for what you quote, if not a link.

Um, it's parody?:confused:

Stumbled across it and don't have the link...

You know why they are jumping on it now. Each media member dreams of being the one to take down palin to save Obama's ass. That is why she can not do interviews with the general press. Every member will be hostile trying to get her to make a gaffe to help Obama. This witch hunt is all about helping Obama win this election.

LOL that is pathetic if true. How would she handle being president if she can't handle hostile journalists?

Does Obama go on the hannity show? Every MSM member would be as hostile to her as hannity would to Obama. When Obama goes on hannity we can talk about her doing interviews with the Obama/Pelosi attack machine.

There is no Obama/Pelosi attack machine. About the only figure that might come close is Keith Olbermann. Or are you talking about her doing a MoveOn interview?

Parodies can be attributed, too. This one has a mixed message - on the one hand supporting the speculation by referencing 'no medical records', and then mocking it.

[sarcasm]B- b - but the MSM is the attack machine! Never mind that they are profit-seeking corporations. They aren't interested in advertising or anything like that. What they are really interested in is spending their time and money pushing Barack Obama in the hopes that he will allow them to gay-marry each other. :confused: [/sarcasm]

"I made a statement of fact that the MSM had done something. Afterwards, I went looking for evidence to see if they had. The evidence showed they had not.

So, I will use the word "perhaps" to say that what the MSM only *might* have "jumped all over this story" so loudly that I can't find a single item fitting that description,

How sneaky the MSM is."

Craig234 is agent of the MSM attempting to cover up the cover up so no one can discover the cover up of the cover up....

Well, it's not "uppity" to point out facts... Truth is truth....

Either you have it - or not....

Maybe if he had learned how she pronounces her last name he could fake credibility better...

(should have known better than to click a YouTube link from P&N)

I'm almost 100% sure the child has Down syndrome because he's gay.

If this kid is indeed the father, then when that baby is born, the Palin's will have a some explaining to do about the skin-color of the little tyke.

I honestly can't tell if you're serious or not. Which is kind of funny it itself I guess... :D

Yep, anyone who thinks this might be real might want to first do a bit of research on exactly where Wasilla is, and where the Alaska gas pipeline is... and then maybe get a little bit of common sense and ask themselves what makes them really believe a black kid from Los Angeles would decide to spend his summer in friggin Alaska to visit an uncle?!?

Also, notice he mentioned he his an urban music producer. This couldn't possibly be an attempt to garner some attention to showcase his musical abilities? Nah.... I mean, he provided so many specific details that only someone who spent time in Wasilla could know...

Also, Bristol is 5 months pregnant-- meaning she conceived in late March-- yet this Romeo claims he spent the "summer" in Alaska. Does summer suddenly start in March now?

And I will point out again, the doofus doesn't even know how she pronounces her last name. That grabbed my ear 10 seconds in, and I didn't bother watching another moment.

edit: I will also repeat, I should have known better than to click a random YouTube link in P&N!

No they don't. Media gives people what they want. Supply and demand. If the media wanted to know more about TechAZ, do you think anyone would buy that paper? Hell no.

It happens in the entertainment business ALL the time. Do you really really think people want hurricane coverage 24/7 for a week straight on every news channel? Did anyone know Lacy Peterson until the news brought it up? Sure some locals would have, but there are hundreds of murders every night in the US.

I caught that too... but that wasn't the real tell... He said he knocked her up last summer. Ok... Last summer was a year ago. But let's just assume he meant this summer. In August she was five 1/2 months pregnant.

Aug - 5 1/2 months=Feb/March

Shira never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like no matter how the math plays out. :laugh:
