More opinions on Sarah Palin?

Carl M. Cannon of politicsdaily.com writes about Sarah Palin and whether she has been the victim of bias in the media.

I found it refreshing to find a journalist questioning the media's integrity. In my opinion, it seems the media has been falling down the same hole as the field of politics.

Cannon wonders if the media is to blame for what has happened to Sarah Palin during and since the Presidential Election. My answer is yes and no. It all depends on what you are reading.

The old adage rings true: Freedom of the Press belongs to who owns one. The opinions of a print or broadcast story will depend on the slant of the source and/or the corporation that owns it.
This type of coverage has been going on longer than it should. It shows no sign of letting up. There are plenty of media outlets that will cater to one's side of the fence and people will flock to that particular outlet for a daily affirmation for why they are right to support such a cause.
No need to let facts get in the way. Whether you support an "experienced" incumbent or an "outsider" with fresh ideas. This person is perfect and that one is perfectly crazy. It all depends on which side of the fence you are on.

Senator Barack Obama represented hope and change. His lack of experience was fresh voice we needed to help the country. Joe Biden? His experience was the perfect complement to Senator Obama. Sarah Palin? Who the heck is Sarah Palin? What experience does she have? Republicans were quick to question Obama's lack of experience but touted that of Palin's?

Barack Obama won the nomination of the Democratic Party. He spent months convincing people to choose him over Hillary Rodham Clinton. What does he do? He taps her to be his Secretary of State. There seems to be some advantage to being an insider after all.

Newspapers will run photos of politicians. Look inside the pages. How many times have you seen pictures of a Democrat looking like a Muppet with big eyes and an open mouth. Coincidence?

There are many people speculating over why Sarah Palin has decided to give up her office. Even Levi Johnston, the father of Palin's grandchild is weighing in. These opinions will either be sound opinions or more tomfoolery. It all depends on what you're reading or thinking.
