The Conservative Media
-
I don't know who came up with the myth that the media is liberal, but they are genius. Forthwith:
THE SPIN:
Black teen pregnancies? A crisis in black America.
White teen pregnancies? A blessed event.
If you grow up in Hawaii you're weird.
Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers you're the quintessential American story.
Similarly, if you name your kid Barack you're unpatriotic.
Name your kids Trig and Track, you're colorful.
If you spend three years as a community organizer growing your organization from a staff of one to thirteen and your budget from $70,000 to 400,000, then become the first black president of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new African American voters, spend twelve years as a Constitutional Law professor, then spend nearly eight more years as a state Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, becoming chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, then spend nearly four years in the United States Senate representing a state of nearly thirteen million people, sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you are woefully inexperienced.
If you spend four years on the city council and six years as the mayor of a town with less than 6,000 people, then spend twenty months as the governor of a state with 650,000 people, you've got the most executive experience of anyone on either ticket, are the commander in chief of the Alaska military, and are well qualified to lead the nation should you be called upon to do so because your state is the closest state to Russia.
If you are a Democratic male candidate who is popular with millions of people you are an arrogant celebrity.
If you are a popular Republican female candidate you are energizing the base.
If you are a younger male candidate who thinks for himself and makes his own decisions you are presumptuous.
If you are an older male candidate who makes last-minute decisions you refuse to explain, you are a shoot-from-the-hip maverick.
If you are a candidate with a Harvard law degree you are an elitist, out of touch with the real America.
If you are a legacy graduate of Annapolis, with multiple disciplinary infractions, you are mainstream.
If you manage a multimillion-dollar nationwide campaign, you are an empty suit.
If you are a part time mayor of a town of seven thousand people, you are an experienced executive.
If you go to a black south-side Chicago church, your beliefs are extremist.
If you believe in creationism, you are strongly principled.
If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress and left your disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month you're a Christian.
If you have been married to the same woman for nineteen years with whom you are raising two beautiful daughters you're risky.
