Media twisting, not reporting

Congratulations, John McCain. Sen. McCain obviously made a wise choice selecting Gov. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential running mate. How else can you explain the left wing liberal Democrats' and liberal media's vicious, immediate and unfounded attacks against her, her family, her experience and whatever else their wild imaginations could dream up. Are they really so concerned that the Republicans make a better choice to help McCain defeat them in November? I don't think so! But, to immediately slander her tells me they have been surprised and put on the defensive. They know enough about her credentials to cause them to worry and squirm. And, oh my goodness, it's a woman! She is a governor who is popular with her constituents, has done good things in and for Alaska, ousted incumbents and has been strong and decisive in dealing with questionable political situations. The free press in America is supposed to be fair and report the facts. However, it seems the more negatives they can report the better. Positives be damned. It seems the media is more concerned with twisting and creating the news than reporting it in a fair and honest way. Too bad.
