Sarah Palin on Fox News' Hannity

Watching Sarah Palin being interviewed is always a little like watching an incoherent art-student film or something from a William S. Burroughs fantasy. It obviously comes from a completely different planet in a different quadrant of the universe.

For example, among the things you learned by watching Palin on Sean Hannity's Fox News show last night were the following nuggets:

-- Palin still is unhappy with the McCain campaign for not having smeared Barack Obama enough with phony association-game stuff about Bill Ayers and Rev. Wright -- you know, issues Americans really cared about.

-- She seems to have been watching a lot of Glenn Beck, though, because she practically repeats Beck's favorite talking points about Obama's supposedly nefarious associations.

-- Palin says "it wasn't negative campaigning and it wasn't off-base to call someone out on their associations." Hmmmm. Well, when Max Blumenthal and I did just that with Palin over her lengthy far-right associations, she completely freaked out.

-- Obama is "dithering" in Afghanistan. And evidently, if Palin were president, the only people she would listen to regarding the use of troops would be generals. Civilian advisers? Fuggedaboutit.

-- The reason she "blew" the question in the Katie Couric interview about what she read? She was irked by Couric's "arrogance." Apparently it's arrogant of media folk to ask national politicians softball questions that every other politico on the planet can readily answer.

-- What does she read? The first publication she cites is NewsMax. Yep, that NewsMax: The folks who, in the late 1990s, were peddling "Y2K apocalypse" theories and Clinton "New World Order" conspiracy theories. The same NewsMax that recently published a piece extolling the virtues of a military coup in order to remove Obama.

One thing that I think will become obvious in the coming weeks: Palin will not risk any more Katie Couric interviews. She will be completely ensconced only with friendly interviewers like Hannity. Oprah will have been her most risky interview.Watching Sarah Palin being interviewed is always a little like watching an incoherent... more

Blackout of Blackwater? Fox News Reports on ACORN and Bow-gate instead

"On November 10th, former Blackwater Worldwide executives admitted to secretly approving $1 million in bribes to Iraqi officials to silence criticism and purchase support after 17 civilians were fatally shot in Baghdad in September 2007.

So when I woke up this morning, I flipped through the morning news cycle, and what did I find?

Fox News had a new ACORN video they wanted to break.

Really. I couldn't make this up. This story lasted nearly 10 minutes and there was no reporting on the Blackwater scandal.

There was not a single mention of Blackwater or Xe, the company's new name, at any point the day after the story broke, according to transcripts. In fact, according to reports, Fox News Sunday spent a considerable amount of time discussion a photo of President Obama bowing before Japanese Emperor Akihito while failing to mention the Blackwater story even once.

Conversely, Fox News Sunday spent a total of 18 minutes discussing the ACORN tapes after Fox News broke that story in September.

Glen Beck has spent no time discussing the Blackwater case, while dedicating countless hours to ACORN coverage over the course of a few months. This pattern is reflected throughout the network.

Blackwater, which has been paid $1.4 Billion by the U.S. government since 2004, was denied an operating license by the Iraq government in March of 2009 in light of mass public outcry against the group after the Nisur Square shootings.

From the New York Times:

"At midday on Sept. 16, 2007, a Blackwater convoy opened fire on Iraqi civilians in the crowded intersection, spraying automatic weapons fire in ways that investigators later claimed was indiscriminate, and even launching grenades into a nearby school. Seventeen Iraqis were killed and dozens more were wounded."

Now, four former employees have admitted that Gary Jackson, Blackwaters president at the time, approved a series of bribes totally $1 million- that's $1 million of American tax dollars- to be paid to Iraqi officials to keep them in good favor.""On November 10th, former Blackwater Worldwide executives admitted to secretly... more
