The Empiricist

Sarah Palin resigns. She’s left with no choice given the vitriolic attacks, smear, and mockery of her and her children by prominent members of the media.
The ramifications are huge. The media elite have forced a public official to leave office by publicly defaming her and persecuting her children. It makes me so mad…
This screenshot of the Huffington Post’s take is absolutely disgusting. Who are these people?
I don’t understand the hatred of Sarah Palin at all. I don’t buy the argument that it’s actually fear… it seems to be simply hate.
If a politician can be the target of such a relentless, vicious media campaign, then why should those leading the campaign have any less scrutiny or mockery of their personal lives? The American media establishment are no longer mere observers of the political process, they have outed themselves as players.
