Bull puckey. The whole liberal media bias is the biggest crock the right has peddled in years. When Acorn get's more media than Halliburton and Blackwater, the teabaggers garner more coverage than the very corporate interests that funded, organized, and advertised the movement, and when Obama's "olympic failure" gets more coverage than a prominent conservative group cheering when the bid failed, don't preach to me about liberal media bias.

And for the record, I think Palin will win the GOP nomination and what a glorious day that will be. But she's yet to give a substantive interview or speech on policy, or articulate her general views and vision for America. Nothing. If Palin is thorough, thoughtful and can make her case before the American people over and over in different settings and venues, then the media will give her a fair shake. But if all she want's to do is rile up the base, have spats with bloggers, post drive by messages on facebook and twitter, and talk about how much she loves the troops as a diversion from the topic at hand she'll continue to get hammered. Fair or not. Bottom line, Sarah Palin is responsible for the negative perception she has created. No one else. Not the media, not Katie Couric, not Tina Fey. It's all on Palin.
