But you've got to admit, Mrs. Palin does look like a sour grapes crybaby when she whines about the media spreading around a rumor that is only believed by the outer fringes of The Republican Party.

Again, does she need some cheese with her whine?

Are you getting it. Even when you're trying to explain that you think it's Republicans, you have the Freudian slip that it's the left doing it.

You KNOW, you just won't acknowledge.

No, though, Palin does not look like a crybaby when she suggests that the media did a disreputable and unprofessional job in their coverage of her, nor of Obama.

Why is Nonno so afraid of a self-made woman who throws the flag when warranted?

Andrew, don't let the facts get in your way.

The interview being referred to is by John Ziegler and for a documentary he is making about the MEDIA MALPRACTICE during the 2008 election.

How Obama Got Elected

Palin didn't "whine to the media" - she was approached to participate in this documentary. The fact is she's granted very FEW interviews since the election.

Why don't you ever check out your stories before you post them? You do this all the time. Mindless.

Media Matters was created to counteract the Media Research Center.

Here's a blurb on them:

Established in May 2004,Media Matters for America is a "web-based, not-for-profit … progressive research and information center" seeking to "systematically monitor a cross-section of print, broadcast, cable, radio, and Internet media outlets for conservative misinformation." But in addition to "news or commentary that is not accurate, reliable, or credible," the organization's concept of "misinformation" includes anything that "forwards the conservative agenda." Thus political differences of opinion are often portrayed by Media Matters as lies or worse.

Media Matters' founder and CEO is David Brock. A reporter for the conservative magazine The American Spectator in the 1990s, Brock (in the aftermath of his biography of Hillary Clinton that brought disastrous reviews) engaged in a public self-denunciation, characterizing all his past writings critical of liberal figures as a confection of lies and slanders. In Brock's present judgment, the mainstream media have fallen under the sway of conservative ideology. He believes that conservatives have moved the mainstream media "to the right and therefore they've moved American politics to the right. … I wanted to create an institution [Media Matters] to combat what they're doing."

Standing behind Brock was John Podesta, a former chief of staff in the Clinton administration and the head of the "progressive" Washington, DC think tank, the Center for American Progress. In 2004 Podesta provided Brock with office space for his fledgling enterprise. Soon after, Media Matters received over $2 million in seed donations from a roster of affluent donors including Leo Hindery Jr., a former cable magnate; Susie Tompkins Buell, a co-founder of the fashion company Esprit and a close ally of Senator Hillary Clinton; James Hormel, a San Francisco philanthropist who nearly served as ambassador to Luxembourg during the Clinton administration; Bren Simon, a Democratic activist and the wife of shopping-mall developer Mel Simon; and New York psychologist and philanthropist Gail Furman. Media Matters,whichcan accept tax-deductible contributions under section 501(c)(3) of the tax code,has also benefited from the patronage of Peter Lewis, chairman of Progressive Corporation and a longtime consort of leftist financier George Soros.

Media Matters has not always been forthcoming about its high-profile backers. In particular, the group has long labored to obscure any financial ties to George Soros. But in March 2003, the Cybercast News Service (CNS) detailed the copious links between Media Matters and several Soros "affiliates"—among them MoveOn.org, the Center for American Progress, and Peter Lewis. Confronted with this story, a spokesman for the organization explained that "Media Matters for America has never received funding directlyfrom George Soros" (emphasis added), a transparent evasion.
