Un-covered Bias



Joe Lieberman is stepping up once again today to call upon Barack Obama and his campaign to stop the attacks on Governor Sarah Palin.

Do we need to call upon a celebrity to fire back at US Weekly? I know I'll never even pass a glance at that magazine again in the grocery aisle.

It would have been a bit more revealing to take an in-depth look at Palin first, to help educate even the most un-educated tabloid readers. That's 12 million female readers - at least - seeing a bias and a message that insinuates the Obamas are beautiful married people and Sarah Palin is a liar and a bad mother.

Hey US, take a clue from Joe Biden who said "There’s No Reason Not To Respect Her And I Believe She’s Qualified To Be The Vice President." That's a headline. Otherwise, stick to Britney.

Thats a somewhat unfair characterization of what's going on, since Obama's campaign hasn't attacked her, and he's come straight out and said he'll fire anyone on his staff who does regarding the whole pregnancy thing.

Lots of lefty blogs are attacking her... but blaming Obama's campaign for that is like blaming McCain's campaign every time Texas Hold'em Blogger regurgitates some Nazi comparison to a Democrat.

so is this a double standard gender or politically based?
