I am not one to spend much time criticizing the press, unless it’s FOX News, and I’m not even sure FOX qualifies as a member of the press – it’s more a propaganda machine than anything – but I have a bone to pick with the media outlets who made a bigger story out of the $695 Bolero jacket that Sarah Palin was wearing when she took the stage in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday at a Donald Trump for President rally than the words that came spilling out of her mouth! Seriously, what is more important – the fact that Palin made excuses for her son and blamed President Obama for the fact that her son beat the crap out of his girlfriend and menaced the girlfriend with an assault rifle or the fact that Palin’s got money to burn on a glittering piece of cloth? The press as a whole dropped the ball in this instance. Shame on them!
Look, Sarah Palin’s breasts weren’t exposed at the Trump Rally. Her panties weren’t on display for the world to see, and as far as I could tell, the sales tag was not hanging from her jacket. Barring one of those ‘fashion disasters,’ what the former Alaskan governor was wearing should have been a non-issue.
The domestic violence excuses that spilled from Palin’s mouth, however, should have been front page news in every media outlet, but many treated Palin’s horrendous comments as merely a side-issue. Wow – talk about misplaced journalism.
