Why Must I be Left in the Dark?

It’s time for another rant and rave about our less than stellar media. What is with these people? I get more information from snopes.com than I get from supposedly legitimate news outlets.

Let’s talk about Sarah Palin shall we? There’s are lots of things I’d like to know about Palin, just like there are lots of things I’d like to know about Joe Biden, but all the media wants to talk about is her 17 year daughter who happens to be with child.

Look folks, that’s a personal matter and none of your or my business so lay off it already.

There are things about Palin however that ARE reasonable to delve into such as:

- Does she really support, as has been reported, the teaching of Creationism in the public schools? If yes, if elected would she support the principle of the separation of church and state or would she undermine it?

- Does she really think, as has been reported, that Global Warming is a farce?

- Does she really, as has been reported, oppose abortion in all cases including cases of rape and incest? If yes, how does she justify this position?

- Did she really, as has been reported, try to get books she didn’t like removed from the town library and then try to fire the librarian when she refused to remove the books? If yes, what books, how does she justify trying to have them removed and how does she justify trying to fire the librarian?

- Does she, as has been reported, support abstinence only education which the major of health professionals say simply doesn’t work?

On the Biden side:

- Is he, as has been reported, a deadbeat who owes people money but won’t pay up?

I don’t know if any of these things are true or not but, if the media was doing its job, I would!
