Why is that everything Sarah Palin does is justified by FOX and other repubs but what Obama/Biden does is not?

Fox News jumps aboard everything that she says, and stands clear of any mishaps, or shall I say JUSTIFY'S it.

Mrs. Palin doesn't know government, she continues to say the exact same thing, over and over and over again, and frankly I’m tired of hearing it. Her speech’s lack substance, Palin being pick allows the country to see that she was chosen based on strategy and not quality, and her sentences makes no absolutely sense because they are 98% of the time complete run-ons!!!!!! I mean I am not the best grammatically, but JESUS if I were running for the same office I would be held to a higher standard than her. She lacks the quality of being a VP Candidate, she lacks the knowledge of being a politician and she lacks the people skills to connect with everyone (Not just soccer moms and joe six packs). She states that if she said what Joe Biden said (Mark my words, Obama just like JFK will be tested by different sorts of crisis and the decision he makes may not make sense in the beginning but will in the end) at the rally the other day that she would've been clobbered!!!! [Side note, I’m not a fan of Biden statement or some other statements that Obama, Palin or Mccain have made, but hey it was made... back to what I was saying]

What does that matter, if you are a person of quality, experience and character then what he says doesn't matter?

Exercise your right to speak your mind about her and the other candidates as well, if need be.

    That's because Fox is biased. They say they are fair and balanced but most know they are a right wing network trying to hide behind that disguise. If you noticed they do bring on other Democratic counter parts but that network is 95% conservative. The proof of that is Sean Hannity. He is the most neo conservative on that network. Fox is very hypocritical. They bash Obama all day long with the exception of those that come on in his defense. But really the same can be said about MSNBC. They are the left wing network. They bash McCain and Palin all day. So if you are looking for a non biased network it doesn't exist. CNN may be somewhat in the middle but they all show bias. My suggestion is to stick to the facts and not feed into the propaganda.

    if we've learned ANYTHING it's that Republicans are COMPLETELY surface level thinkers.

    obama served on a board with ayers = obama and ayers are best friends

    obama served on a board with a "washed up terrorist" = obama is a terrorist.

    obama wants to "spread the wealth" = obama will steal your money and literally give it to the lazy, the poor, the liberals, the terrorists, and he's a socialist.

    biden says obama will be "tested" when he wins the presidency = voting for obama is a vote for another 9-11

    it's really quite amazing. it's like the opposite when dim-witted Palin opens her mouth.

    "oh no, she's not really that dumb, she's brilliant... it's just that she is a mav'rick and why is it even important what newspapers she reads, and so what if she changes the subject... and who cares if she puts down community organizers? she's calling one part of the country "more american" than the rest... she REALLY meant that the whole country is "more american"!"

    i mean, even after Palin's mouth and lack of brain got her in trouble by calling parts of the US more American, the next day or two, one of John McCain's major statements was condemning Obama for talking about the Phillies in Philly, and talking about the Rays in Tampa.

    Honestly? This is what it's come to? I really think Palin's idiocy is contagious and it's spreading throughout the GOP like crazy. i mean, just listen to these Repub pundits. They're 100% behind every dumb move McCain and Palin make. Bay Buchanan is a PERFECT example of this. Grade A moron that can't think for herself even if the GOP told her it was OK.

    I was watching FOX last night about 6 pm when they jumped all over McCain for mis speaking at a rally in PA. Guess you must have missed that.

    Why is it the rest of the media doesn't seem to care that Obama's own VP thinks they are going to have a major test of Obama is elected and that it won't be apparent that he will do the right thing?

    i watched both conventions and told my friend at the end of the democratic convention . john is going to pick a woman, well i was right. however maybe he should have picked someone qualified. and fox is in the bag for any, i repeat any republican ticket! and yes, her and john m. continue to repeat themselves on a regular basis, however he uses her to do the attacking. some of the things she has said are just incredibly stupid and prove she is not capable of being a v.p.

    i feel sorry for the people of alaska frankly, she is truly incompetent.

    Don't really watch US news, but BBC news or get my news from the internet. I personally think foreign countries will have less bias than their American counterparts.

    Could be that Fox is the only true news source,,i watch cnn "it's all i get" and there's NEVER a negative word about obama and yet it's endless Mccain/Palin bashing,,so stop crying cause 1 media outlet tells the truth.

    well if McCain loses, Fox News' status as Republican cheerleader gets crushed, if Obama loses, places like MSNBC practically go out of business. my bet is on saying bye bye to people liking Fox News all that much.

    What's wrong with that? The rest of the media does it for Obama who yesterday said " seniors making under $50,000. will pay no income tax " . If he gets it let's just see if he follows through with that campaign promise. I'll not hold my breath. They make all kinds of promises but when they get what they want the promises are forgotten.

    She is trying to set it up. Just like VP Darth Vader said the VP spot is a part of both the executive and legislative branches of Gov. Watch out! She wants to be the Master of the Senate. There goes Alaska.

    Fox News is not really news as it does not provide impartial and independent verification . . it is a conservative private network and propaganda machine for the conservative viewpoint. (owned by billionaire Rupert Murdoch).

    (which is fine as long as people realize that what they are watching is bias . . lesson is to not get all your news just in one place)

    Source(s): You can verify this by reading about millionaire Rupert Murdoch who owns the cable network. He wanted a network to challenge Ted Turners CNN and promote his own private opinions and ideas. Fox News Channel http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fox_News_Channel
