Daily Commentary - Friday, November 20th, 2009 - The Associated Press Devotes 11 reporters to Fact Check Palin’s Book … Liberal Media Bias

• They assigned 11 reporters to fact check “Going Rogue” cover to cover, prompting some comments from Palin and other conservative commentators. Sarahcuda fires back …

Why is the LEFT and the MSM so afraid of Sarah Palin? Sarah Palin may be “Going Rogue,” the MSM is going mental with SPDS.

The reaction from liberals and the MSM to Sarah Palin’s new book just proves what many have said all along and all have noticed since Palin came on the scene as McCain’s VP candidate. Palin is treated unfairly and like no other politician. The attention that she received from the LEFT and the media, one would think that she was Bin Laden. A year removed from the campaign and once again America sees the mistreatment and over the top treatment of Sarah Palin. Love her or hate her, it is irrelevant.

Imagine, just imagine is the MSM had spent as much time vetting Barack Hussein Obama instead of worshiping at the alter of The Obamamessiah … do you really think he ever would have been elected if Obama was reported to be prior to the election what he is today? Not a chance.

Is the MSM bias … You betcha!

AP shows it’s liberal media bias by devoting 11 reporters to fact check Sarah Palin’s new book “Going Rogue: while they never did such a thing regarding any book written by Barack Obama, Joe Biden or Al Gore. So while AP closes bureaus and lay off staff and cut costs by 10%, they can find 11 reporters to hand one specific task?

The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses and taxpayer-funded bailouts, using statements widely reported elsewhere. But it also speculated into Palin’s motives for writing “Going Rogue: An American Life,” stating as fact that the book “has all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto.” [no liberal bias here calling it a manifesto].

Palin quickly hit back on a Facebook post titled “Really? Still Making Things Up?”

“Imagine that,” the post read. “11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to ‘fact check’ what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations, etc. Amazing.”

It is a sad and pathetic state of our liberal bias and state run media as Sarahcuda was quoted as saying, “11 AP reporters dedicating time and resources to tearing up the book, instead of using the time and resources to ‘fact check’ what’s going on with Sheik Mohammed’s trial, Pelosi’s health care takeover costs, Hasan’s associations, …”

What might be more comical is that some are saying that Going Rogue is a gold mine. Of course it is. News flash to the liberal and political elites … many people associate with Sarah Palin. She is of, by and for the people. Some are worried that she is sucking the oxygen out of the room with her book and book tour. One would think that Obama, Pelosi and Reid would love this so that their socialist antics are not on display.

However, the fact of the matter is that Palin’s new book sales are through the roof and an even greater threat to Democrats is that her favorable ratings are going up as well. RUT-ROH!

Palin has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate in 2012, along with a host of other Republicans. Among self-identified Republicans in the survey, Palin gets the highest favorable ratings (70 percent) amid a group of other possible contenders for the GOP nomination, including Mike Huckabee (63 percent), Mitt Romney (60 percent) and Newt Gingrich (58 percent). Palin’s favorable score among all voters is 47 percent, up nine percentage points over last July’s reading of 38 percent.

Be very careful liberals, Democrats and MSM of how you play your hand as the backlash might just be tenfold of your personal and petty attacks against Sarah Palin and her family. You had your chance to destroy her and failed. American and America’s have a much different view these days of you media liberal bias and hateful press … Obama is not the “Golden child” any more and “We the People” want change and it ain’t Barack Hussein Obama.

UPDATE I: Sneak peak of Sarah Palin’s interview with Bill O’Reilly scheduled for Friday night via The Gateway Pundit.

Ken Ober of MTV’s 80’s Remote Control Dead at Age 52

Sad news from the MTV world of days gone by … Ken Ober, the host of the 1980’s game show “Remote Control” has passed away at the age of 52. The cause of death was not immediately known.

Lee Kernis, a manager at Brillstein Entertainment Partners who represented Mr. Ober for more than 20 years, said that Mr. Ober was found dead on Sunday. He said that Mr. Ober was last heard from on Saturday night, when he spoke to a friend and complained of a headache and flu-like symptoms. Mr. Ober told the friend that he was going to take something and would see a doctor as soon as possible.

Mr. Ober, who was born in Brookline, Mass. and raised in Hartford, Conn., grew up idolizing game show hosts like Bob Barker and Bob Eubanks, and went on to host four game shows of his own, including a revived version of “Make Me Laugh” in 1997. But his breakthrough came a decade earlier when Mr. Ober, a contestant on the televised talent show “Star Search,” became the host of the MTV series “Remote Control” in 1987.

One last blast from Remote Control Past Ken Ober from 1989

Who didn’t watch Remote Control in the 80’s?

I admit it, I watched this spoof game show all the time, back when MTV was actually worth watching. Remember when they used to actually play videos and be funny? CNN said of Ken Ober and his cult hit game show, “that MTV game show “Remote Control” was among the network’s first forays into non-music programming, has died at age 52. Might I add, one of the few forays that was successful.

Rest in Peace Ken Ober.

Daily Commentary - Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - Al Gore’s Current TV Mocks Prominent Conservatives … Calls Palin a Gun-Ho & TWILF

• A short animated clip on the network recently called Sarah Palin a TWILF and accused Limbaugh of being a vector for the “Stupid Virus”. Real classy stuff.

Days after announcing another huge layoff, Al Gore’s Current TV referred to former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as a “Gun-Ho” and a “TWILF.”

These disgraceful, sexually-charged epithets were part of an attack on prominent conservatives such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck, and came in the form of a cartoon ironically titled “The Stupid Virus”:

Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch Mc Connell on FNS … Discussing KSM Trial in NYC, Obamacare and Tax Payer Paid for Abortions

Republican Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell appeared on Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace and had many things to say regarding the Obama policies on trying Khalid Sheik Mohammed in NYC, GITMO prisoners, Obamacare in the Senate and having tax payers pay for abortion. McConnell stated that the Senate will not rush the health care bill.

The following are some Mitch McConnell comments from Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace: (full transcript HERE)

With regards to trying KSM in a civilian court in NYC rather than a military tribunal:

MCCONNELL: Unfortunately, we had that very vote on the Lieberman- Lindsey Graham amendment just a week ago, and 54 Democrats voted opposed, frankly, having the trials down in Guantanamo. So it looks to me like the administration is going to do this. They seem to be sort of hell-bent to do it.

I agree with the family of Daniel Pearl. You know, KSM murdered their son. And they said, “Why in the world would we want to give him the show trial that he desires?”

Daily Commentary - Friday, November 13th, 2009 - Lou Dobbs Resigns from CNN

• Lou Dobbs on the market for other work, which probably means he’s courting Fox. One of CNN’s originals resigns from CNN.

Mr. Klein would not say whether the settlement CNN had come to with Mr. Dobbs precluded his working for another television news outlet for any period of time. “I can’t really get into the details of any settlement,” he said.

Mr. Klein denied that any of the groups that had protested Mr. Dobbs’s occasionally outspoken positions on issues like illegal immigration had influenced the move. Specifically, he denied making any promises to Alex Nogales of the National Hispanic Media Coalition, who met with Mr. Klein last Friday to discuss Mr. Dobbs.

Outspoken Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN .. Could He be Heading to FOX News in the Foot Steps of Glenn Beck?

Lou Dobbs is taking his highest rated talk show and leaving CNN after 30 years at the network. This was only a matter of time as I thing many of us saw this coming. Did the Left force Dobbs out of CNN? If so they may have created a monster. Dobbs looks forward to new opportunities. Hmm …

CNN’s Lou Dobbs stepped down from his controversial role as an advocacy anchor at the network at the end of his show Wednesday night after announcing plans to seek a more activist role.

“Over the past six months, it has become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem-solving as well as to contribute positively to a better understanding of the great issues of our day and to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible,” Dobbs said during his 7 p.m. broadcast.

Dobbs, 64, said he had discussed the issue with CNN President Jonathan Klein, who had agreed to a release from his contract “that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.”

New opportunities? You mean like heading to FOX News? So what will be in store for Dobbs future? NewsBusters asks the question whether Dobbs was forced out of CNN by liberal forces? If so, it might be just the worse thing that liberals ever did. LIBS, do not ask for things, they might come true. No one watches CNN anymore. However, if as speculated Dobbs lands on FOX News, he will become an instant ratings success much like when Beck left HLN and landed on FOX.

Hot Air seems to be asking similar questions and has the VIDEO of Dobbs’ farewell speech. What did Dobbs mean by the following: Some leaders in the media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond my role here at CNN and engage in constructive problem-solving. However, if Dobbs heads to Fox ala Glenn Beck … one thing is for certain. He will be seen by more folks than had watched him on CNN. What is this larger role that Dobbs is referring to?

Fox News Confronts US Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) … Awfully Tight Lipped for a Big Mouth
