That pesky left-winged media

I want to congratulate you on the piece you wrote about Sarah Palin in the Kent Reporter on July 8, 2009 “Sarah Palin and the viper pit,” page 6.

You have continued the raking and barrage of mean comments that the media started with the announcement that Sarah Palin was McGovern’s running mate.

I don’t believe she is stepping down from the public view but I guess time will tell. I think she is going to have the last laugh and it will be towards the media and all the others that have continually barraged her and her family. I am sure glad none of this negativity has been focused on Obama’s family!

Please try and remember that Obama stepped down from his office before he completed it to become more involved in the presidential race. Also please note that Palin’s popularity has increased since her announcement and Obama’s has gone down.

Keep up the good work! The media, including The Kent Reporter, no longer surprises me. When I do read the paper (which is getting less frequently) and before it goes into recycling, I am continually reminded why I don’t read the paper as most of the articles are so blatantly left-winged.
