Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Wednesday, November 18, 2009

Reviewing books and holding public figures accountable is at the core of good journalism, but the treatment Palin's book received appears to be something new for the AP. The organization did not review for accuracy recent books by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, then-Sen. Joe Biden, either book by Barack Obama released before he was president or autobiographies by Bill or Hillary Clinton.

sarah likes to dish it. can she handle it when it comes back at her? nooooo. Sarah is a two faced coward. and an idiot.

Yeah. She's a fucking crybaby quitter.

Poor victim Sarah... everybody done her wrong!

AP - just another left leaning news source carrying water for the obama administration. So what else is new.

The good thing is that more and more Americans are waking to to the media bias.

Keep thinkin that sarge.

So because they passed on the other books they should turn a blind eye to this one?

Do you think that maybe she is a lightning rod for press coverage because people want to read about her both good and bad?

Do you honestly believe that anyone cares about Kennedy or Biden in the same ferver they do about Mayor Mooseville?

I have not read any of the books mentioned, but I have yet to hear the critiques of Biden or Kennedy's book as being full of crap like Sarah!'s book is.

The fact of life is that someone who is batshit crazy attracts a lot of attention because it sells.

If Mukluk Messiah could not stand the heat she should have just faded back into obscurity. Just another example of wing ding victimhood.

If Kennedy, Biden and Obama had a history of being delusional liars, surely they would come under the same scrutiny. The fact that the book is chock full of delusional lies says all that we need to know.

If Kennedy, Biden and Obama had a history of being delusional liars....

IF???????

The fact that the book is chock full of delusional lies .....

Link - or STFU liar.

or STFU liar.

You gonna rumble with him tough guy?

So because they passed on the other books they should turn a blind eye to this one?

No. They should not have passed on the other books. And their motivations for not passing on this one come into question considering their past behavior.

Nobody is saying they should have passed on this book. Where you gathered that from is a mystery. Probably your tiny, tiny brain.

I have not read any of the books mentioned, but I have yet to hear the critiques of Biden or Kennedy's book as being full of crap like Sarah!'s book is.

Which I believe is the point of the article you most likely failed to read.

I wish the woman would go away, but the way the press fawns over her and is complicite in keeping her in the spotlight, I doubt that it's going to ever happen.

If Kennedy, Biden and Obama had a history of being delusional liars...

You're a spoofer, right?
Nobody can be so stupid as to think Biden and the murderer kennedy aren't delusional liars. Obama is a delusional "promiser", and fails to live up to them, so I can't quite call him a liar.

Sarah Palin is no rocket scientist. The fact that she is the closest thing to an avaerage tax paying citizen that has been in national politics in our lifetime scares the hell out of both left and right leaning political elitists. They are deathly afraid that the Nation will decide that they would rather have an outsider in the White House for a change. The media portrays politics as left against right. The reality is that the real fight is for American citizens to take back control of our own government.

From the linked article "The attraction to Palin doesn't appear to be partisan, since AP didn't fact-check recent political tomes by Republicans Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich."

Try again dumbass.

My, my, how the Retort loves Sarah Palin. She gets more threads than Obama and Biden combined. Of course it's to be expected, Retort is an effort to credit Libs and discredit Repubs, and neither Obama nor Biden are doing anything to their credit to brag about. More important than what's posted on Retort is what's not posted on Retort.

I hear you, bro, I hear you. I miss those muffin recipes as much as you do.

I never bother linking to the painfully obvious. But here ya go:

Former McCain campaign staffer Nicolle Wallace tore into Sarah Palin's "Going Rogue" Tuesday night, saying the book was "based on fabrications" and exhibited a "bizarre fixation" on past events.
McCain Staffer: Palin Just Made Things Up

Ongoing list of falsehoods in Palin's memoir

And I'll have people know that the AP has fact checked Obama's speeches, claims on health care, jobs, etc. They have fact checked many political figures.

Why is it bias only when they do it with Palin?

HP and MM. I almost fell off my chair laughing.

I never bother linking to the painfully biased, but apparently you do.

A video of former McCain campaign staffer Nicolle Wallace saying Palin is making things up is biased?

Try again dumbass.

Ahhh, yes liars! Obama leads the pack but Biden is bringing up the rear.
