After being acquitted of larceny and fraud in connection with a project to construct a new line<\/font><\/a> for the New York City Subway<\/font><\/a>, Ray Donovan, Secretary of Labor under Ronald Reagan, stated,  “Which office do I go to get my reputation back?”<\/p>\n

Sarah Palin would be perfectly justified in asking the same question.  Today’s Daily Caller<\/a>  details the efforts of the “JournoList” to discredit Sarah Palin.<\/p>\n

“Daniel Levy of the Century Foundation noted that Obama’s “non-official campaign” would need to work hard to discredit Palin.  “This seems to me like an occasion when the non-official campaign has a big role to play in defining Palin, shaping the terms of the conversation and saying things that the official (Obama) campaign shouldn’t say–very hard hitting stuff, including some of the things that people have been noting here–scare people about having this woefully inexperienced, no foreign policy\/national security\/right-wing christia wing-nut a heartbeat away…..bang away at McCain’s age making this unusually significant…..I think people should be replicating some of the not-so-pleasant viral email campaigns that were used against (Obama).””<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I was in the audience when Sarah Palin spoke in Auburn, New York, last year.  She was articulate, well-spoken, and talked to the crowd in terms all of us understood.  It is a shame that a group of media people decided to trade objective reporting of her nomination for Vice President for personal destruction in order to achieve a political goal.  <\/p>\n

The revelations in the Daily Caller this week have been eye opening.  It is a shame that we cannot trust the major media in this country to tell us the truth objectively.  I truly believe that any person who participated in the smearing of Sarah Palin and became part of the Obama campaign rather than reporting events objectively should be fired.  They were not doing their job.  If you want to be part of a political campaign, join the campaign–don’t claim to be an objective reporter.<\/p>\n

Just a note–the name of this blog is right wing granny.  I am open about my political beliefs and the candidates I support.  I shall continue to be so.  There is nothing wrong with supporting a cause–the problem is supporting a cause while pretending to be objective.<\/p>\n
