Do We Really Want Perfection?Wednesday, October 1, 2008 News Flash: Sarah Palin is not perfect. She's not a perfect orator. She's not the perfect mother. She's not the perfect politician. This is all common sense to most of us, as no one is perfect, but it somehow has made headlines across the nation... world, actually.

Why is that? The answer is simple. The left hates her. They loathe everything about her because, as much as they preach acceptance and tolerance, they are inherently neither and hate everyone with ideals different than theirs. I was reading this article about Sen. Obama's rise in the polls on Yahoo! news, and came upon a completely ridiculous statement:

Pollsters attributed Obama's improved standing to the public's general approval of his debate performance, antipathy toward GOP vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin and heightened confidence in the Illinois senator's ability to handle the economic crisis.

Antipathy? You know, I do not have statistics or stone-cold facts, but in my personal circle and almost everything I have seen and heard on TV, radio, and the Internet, it has been about how Gov. Palin has completely invigorated the entire election. I would like to know where Liz Sidoti got this fact or, if it is complete fabrication, I'd like to know what qualifies her to be an AP "reporter."

OK, back to my point about perfection. Gov. Palin is a polished speaker, with her experience as a TV sports anchor, or whatever she did. Sen. Obama is good at giving prepared speeches, but not very good with impromptu speaking (a lot of ums and uhs). With that said, the media constantly harps on Sarah Palin's every misstep, while forgiving the plethora that come from Barack Obama's mouth. Here is an example. Here is a transcript of Gov. Palin and Old Guy's recent interview with Katie Couric, and here is a transcript of Katie Couric's Q&A with Sen. Obama and Old Guy. Do you notice anything? The transcript with Sarah Palin includes "um" written out twice, and "uh" once. That caught my eye immediately. When was the last time you saw a transcript with "uh" or "um" written out? I thought I would give them the benefit of the doubt, so I seached CBS for Obama and Couric, and found the second transcript. Both pages have the video footage, too, so I watched Sen. Obama's answer to the first question and counted at least five "uh"s. I also noticed that he stutters a lot. At least three times he, presumably unintentionally, repeated a word. Do you think any of that was in the transcript?

Now, this may seem petty. Under normal circumstances, I would agree. These are not normal circumstances, though. I believe that there is a consistent and intentional effort to put the Democrat Party and Barack Obama in a postive light, and the Republican Party and John McCain and Sarah Palin in a negative light by the mainstream print and TV media. This may be proof of that, or simply be the case of two different transcribers with two different styles. The thing is, that nine times out of ten, as much as I give the media the benefit of the doubt, I can only conclude that the media is biased, and often severly so. Let me know what you think.
