		<description>You're right, RK. There have always been journalists who have sold their souls for an opportunity to hob nob with the rich and powerful. 

There have been times, when the forth estate has failed completely, and as a group, to share truth with their fellow Americans. Personal and public scandals have been swept under the rug or spun like a web.

GWB and Obama have turned manipulation of the press into an art form. I made a guess months ago that when Obama spoke of transparency, he lied. Bush also spoke of a transparent government in his first campaign, claiming the Clinton White House had been secretive. There is NO information coming out of this administration. Obama has not only embraced the secrecy of Bush/Cheney, his team has made it clear they will try to shut down any opposition.

There have been men of courage in the past who have put their reputations and even their lives on the line out of dedication to their profession. There is a bubble around Obama right now, but that can and will change if his approval rating continues to fall in spite of the intentions of media members like Chris Mathews, who has said publicly, " I will do everything I can to make sure this president succeeds."</description>

		<description>Can we move on now? The good Governor of Alaska is moving on. Get used to it. She can make twice as much money fishing sockyeye out of the crisp Alaskan waters than she can rubbing elbows with the less than desirable of both parties. The legislature wouldn't allow her to lead, She was in no mood to follow, so she got out of the damned way. No more, no less. That's all in the past now. She's taking a break and is on sabbatical. It's old news. Ah, ah, let's watch barky and his famous wife.</description>

		<description>Yeah jackie, back in the day I think we all believed we had a "free press."  In fact, earlier than that I remember reading the claims the then Soviet Union made in terms of discoveries, inventions, medical advancements [all American] and wondered how the Soviet people ever bought into the Big Lie.

Now we know because when once the press is hijacked or sells its soul, it's an easy skip and jump to control public perception with false messaging and all matter of half-truths.  

Sadly, we've become what we once hated.</description>

		<description>"Pals Around With Terrorists": Palin Wasn't That Rogue, After All

http://politics.theatlantic.com/2009/07/pals_around_with_terrorists_palin_wasnt_rogue_after_all.php

"Pals Around With Terrorists": Palin Wasn't That Rogue, After All
In the mail this morning was an advanced copy of Dan Balz and Haynes Johnson's extremely well-reported history of the 2008 presidential campaign: The Battle for America is what the two veteran Posties have called it. The book will be published on August 4; Balz and Johnson will talk about it on Meet the Press on August 2.  There are plenty of scoops, and I can't resisting sharing just one involving a critical phase of the campaign in early October of 2008. 

Whose idea was it for Gov. Sarah Palin to attack Barack Obama as a  guy who "pals around with terrorists?" Palin's camp has always insisted that the McCain high command endorsed the stratagem, while folks close to McCain have accused Palin of going "rogue" and pointed to the "pals around" attack as an example of how Palin simply could not be controlled. The idea that Palin was hard to manage as a candidate and ignored the advice and wishes of McCain's senior advisers is explicated in some detail by Todd Purdum. 



But on the subject of linking Obama to ex-Weatherman Bill Ayers, it turns out that Palin hadn't gone rogue.  Balz and Johnson answer this question pretty definitively. They've obtained an e-mail from campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace sent to Palin on the morning of October 4rd, with an attached New York Times article about Obama's relationship with Ayers.


Turns out that the McCain campaign was a week away from running an ad linking Obama to Ayers. The e-mail from Wallace, according to Balz and Johnson, reads as follows: "Governor and Team: rick [Davis], Steve [Schmidt] and I suggest the following attack from the new york times. If you are comfortable, please deliver the attack as written. Please do not make any changes to the below without approval from steve or myself because precision is crucial in our ability to introduce this." 



McCain HQ had suggested the following line: "This is not a man who sees American as you and I do -- as the greatest force for good in the world. This is someone who sees America as imperfect enough to pal around with terrorists who targeted their own country."


At the event, Palin said this:


"Our opponent ... is someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect, imperfect enough, that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country. This is not a man who sees America as you see America and as I see America."

Schmidt has never denied ordering this attack, although others in the campaign told me at the time that Palin had instigated it. At a post-campaign discussion I attended a few months ago, Schmidt said that he regrets two attacks: an ad linking Obama with an Illinois sex-ed program and the decision to go after Obama's friendship with Ayers. (Obama's campaign aides, in turn, told Schmidt that they regretted running an ad implying that McCain was too old (or out of touch) to use the Internet.)</description>

<p>&#8220;Pals Around With Terrorists&#8221;: Palin Wasn&#8217;t That Rogue, After All<br />
In the mail this morning was an advanced copy of Dan Balz and Haynes Johnson&#8217;s extremely well-reported history of the 2008 presidential campaign: The Battle for America is what the two veteran Posties have called it. The book will be published on August 4; Balz and Johnson will talk about it on Meet the Press on August 2.  There are plenty of scoops, and I can&#8217;t resisting sharing just one involving a critical phase of the campaign in early October of 2008. </p>
<p>Whose idea was it for Gov. Sarah Palin to attack Barack Obama as a  guy who &#8220;pals around with terrorists?&#8221; Palin&#8217;s camp has always insisted that the McCain high command endorsed the stratagem, while folks close to McCain have accused Palin of going &#8220;rogue&#8221; and pointed to the &#8220;pals around&#8221; attack as an example of how Palin simply could not be controlled. The idea that Palin was hard to manage as a candidate and ignored the advice and wishes of McCain&#8217;s senior advisers is explicated in some detail by Todd Purdum. </p>
<p>But on the subject of linking Obama to ex-Weatherman Bill Ayers, it turns out that Palin hadn&#8217;t gone rogue.  Balz and Johnson answer this question pretty definitively. They&#8217;ve obtained an e-mail from campaign adviser Nicolle Wallace sent to Palin on the morning of October 4rd, with an attached New York Times article about Obama&#8217;s relationship with Ayers.</p>
<p>Turns out that the McCain campaign was a week away from running an ad linking Obama to Ayers. The e-mail from Wallace, according to Balz and Johnson, reads as follows: &#8220;Governor and Team: rick [Davis], Steve [Schmidt] and I suggest the following attack from the new york times. If you are comfortable, please deliver the attack as written. Please do not make any changes to the below without approval from steve or myself because precision is crucial in our ability to introduce this.&#8221; </p>
