My husband just called to tell me to look at the front page of the Post Register, the local newspaper for Idaho Falls and the surrounding area, to read the headline on Sarah Palin’s historic speech at the RNC last night. The headline reads:
"McCain camp plays the Sexism card"
And the subtext: "It appears the strategy is to entice the female vote and bash on the media for questioning Sarah Palin's past."
Am I living in a parallel universe?
Is that really the headline that Post Register editors thought was best to put on the front page of their paper, which is published in conservative, small town America? And in reality that shouldn’t make a difference—they should have enough journalistic integrity to report the real headline of last night. Even CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said, “She hit it out of the ballpark”, and called the speech a “Grand Slam”.
What is everybody talking about today? SARAH PALIN and what a fantastic job she did in her speech, and how fired up the conservative base is, and the Post Register editors pull a negative headline from an AP article that doesn't speak to 90% of the people that heard her speech last night. They are completely out of touch. Who do they think their audience is? Not only do they miss the point of her speech last night, but they clearly illustrate that they are truly a leftist, liberal publication. Sarah Palin obviously doesn't have the "good opinion" of the media elites at the Post Register.
I am headed to the paper to talk to someone face to face. Unbelievable.
