Where has our media gone in this country? As time goes on in this election the media continues to cover more and more soft-core news to gain viewers rather than the hard-hitting news that voters who care about the future of the country.
More and more we hear about Gov. Sarah Palin, and a recent story on Fox News, (Yes, Fox News), on the shoes that Sarah Palin was wearing, now ignoring the fact that the shoes didn't match her outfit and the fact that red is just an ugly color in general, this is hardly a news story! I'm not surprised that I say Fox News, who makes no attempt whatsoever to be balanced, despite their tagline "Fair and Balanced" (HAH!). Shoes contrary to popular belief don't make the woman, and they certainly don't qualify someone like Palin to be vice-president. This fluff story on Fox News is an obvious sucking up to the White House (Whom they get their talking points from). When our news media is getting talking points from the Bush Administration and one of their commentators is pretty much satan (Karl Rove), are we really suprised when they kiss the rear of a completely INSANE Gov. from Alaska (seriously, who lives in Alaska?)
I guess for Fox News, Fair and Balanced, means covering Sarah Palin's new Prada Handbag as compared to her absolutely INSANE social views and complete rejection of science as a whole. Although, I'm pretty sure when you register to become a Republican they force you to reject things that may hold you back like, "Facts" and "Science" and even "Truth".

Speaking of Sarah Palin, did you know she's actually losing women votes for the McCain campaign? Something on CNN or whatnot said suburban women were more inclined to vote democratic because Palin was nominated.
HA! Their cheap ploy has failed!
