Palin Derangement Syndrome Hits Hard

The Washington Post company abandons its standards trying to take down Sarah Palin.

Let us have a moment of silence in honor of the late journalism standards of The Washington Post company. They died last week, a victim of Palin Derangement Syndrome.
First came Newsweek's cover of Palin in running shorts, over a headline of "How do you solve a problem like Sarah?" and a snide kicker that "she's bad news for the GOP--and everybody else too."

Beyond the obvious partisanship, many women, Palin included, found the cover sexist and an attempt to demean her with the bimbo treatment.

There might also be legal fallout. Newsweek, owned by The Post, had no right to use the photo, according to Runner's World magazine, which commissioned it.

The company's flagship paper also embarrassed itself. It published dueling reviews of Palin's book "Going Rogue," with snarky blogger Ana Marie Cox making an astounding confession in her review:

"I cannot claim to have completely read 'Going Rogue' -- I had to skim the last 150 pages (or more than one-third). I only got the thing into my hands late Monday afternoon with a deadline of early evening. It's terrible, I know, but if I didn't read it all, neither can Sarah Palin claim to have completely written it."

My inquiry about how this could possibly be acceptable was answered by Rachel Shea, editor of the paper's Book World. She said in a breezy e-mail: "We thought our reviewers each provided unique perspectives on the book, and Ana Marie Cox was up front about her examination of it."

There you have it. The Post no longer requires reviewers to actually read the books they are reviewing, as long as they are "up front" about it.
It's Sarah Palin's fault.

Great post but I'm getting the feeling even liberals on this board are getting weary of picking on Palin..

Palin didn't write the book so it's safe to say those suffering from PDS reveal themselves by defending Palin. The whole fucking thing is retarded.

Are you certain Obama wrote his..?

Are you mentally ill? It is completely acceptable and has been done by lots of people over the ages, to commission someone to write what you have to say.

By the way Lumpy the op is not attacking the fact the book reviewer did not actually read the book, he is attacking the Post for actually bringing it up.

 

[Article 15]

As long as Sarah Palin and her supporters push her onto the public stage she's going to be attacked.

You can't have it both ways, guys.

If objecting to fake books makes me mentally ill then I'm gladly the sickest fuck in the world. People accepting ghost autobiographies does not make them acceptable by virtue of silence.

I guess you've thrown out all your books written about George Bush then, after all he didn't write them.

Was she the first public figure to have a ghostwriter? No she was not so it is hardly a reason to slam her book unless you hate all ghostwritten material.

You can't have it both ways, guys.

I think Obama is a communist. Don't get upset because as long as he is a public figure then he is going to be attacked.

You can't have it both ways after all....

I'm not upset that he is being attacked, I don't mind the criticism one bit. It comes with the territory and I can accept that.

It's the Bushies and the Palinites who can't handle their heroes getting attacked to the point where they fabricate an all emcompassing "syndrome" to use as the ultimate deflector shield to any and all attacks that come their way.

See the difference?

 

[chanel]

I have no problem with people criticizing her statements, her ideology, or her book. I have a real problem with people like Martha Stewart calling her "dangerous" without one legitimate reason for saying so. Why would anyone "fear" an "amusement" or a"joke" as so many have called her on here? I thought the SNL commercial was more than just an attack on Palin. It was making a mockery of what so many on the left have been saying about her. Palin 2012 - Floods, Earthquakes, Tidal Waves... How could such an inconsequential person threaten the power of the socialist movement in this country. Seriously?

No because Palin and Bush criticism had a much different flavor than McCain criticism. I didn't see any of the haywired craziness about Obama that I have seen about Bush or for a lot of conservatives.

On the other hand, painting anyone who disagrees with Obama as having racist motives is the ultimate deflector shield.

So I guess you haven't been anywhere near a mirror in the past two years.

On the other hand, painting anyone who disagrees with Obama as having racist motives is the ultimate deflector shield.

Which doesn't happen but since you already proved in your first two statements that you don't live in reality so why stop now, eh?

I agree with this as well and I even liked some of the Fay impersonations and some of the jokes about her are funny as hell but what Letterman did was over the top and the constant degradation of her as someone being really stupid gets annoying. They do this because the communist in this country don't want a normal person in office that would divert people away from the state but to their own lives.

It would have been nice if you came up with some kind of retort like saying no because Obama birthers were just as crazy as Bush 911 conspiracy nuts but you decided to sidestep intelligent debate which is smart for someone of your IQ and go right for the dismissive insult.

Well if you were intellectually honest you would have already acknowledged the Obama birthers instead of saying something stupid like you "didn't see any of the haywired craziness about Obama that I have seen about Bush or for a lot of conservatives." The insult was spot on.

The problem is is that I don't think Obama birthers are insane but just wanting basic answers to a question about the legal status of the president's place of birth. I only mentioned because I imagine how it might look like for someone on the left and that it can be compared to 911 truthers which is why I said you could have said that.

As always, Article 15 is missing the central point.

Obviously, political opponents are going to attack each other.

The question is HOW ?

Attacking the opponent's children, CONSTANTLY making up bogus crap, or publishing 1/2 truths, using distortions claiming unbiased reporting when one's blatant loyalty to one opponent clearly puts the other at an obvious disadvantage such as having NO fact checkers on Obama's books but EIGHT on Sarah Palin's, etc., is NOT an understandable, nor an honourable way to present oneself as journalists, or HONEST reporters.

But, of course how would an Article 15 semi-criminal have the mental capacity to be relied on in telling right from wrong ?

I'm surprised that a drop case like Article 15 even got into the Military. My guess is that he got into the Military to dodge the LAW on his heels. And got the Article 15 for evading combat.
