Responding to Michael Gonzalez’s Sarah Palin in the Spotlight Again is an absolute treat for me. I couldn’t agree with Gonzalez more. Sarah Palin has zero authority concerning government workings, which makes it baffling that news organizations cover her opinions so thoroughly. Even if Palin still had anything to do with the government I wouldn’t care to know about her ideals concerning foreign policy. This reminds me of the crossfire episode with Jon Stewart. He is pleading for the focus to be directed towards helping rather than hurting the people of our country.
Gonzalez forgot to mention the new reality television show that is all about Sarah Palin and her family. The media not only cares for her every opinion about government but the interest in her personal life has grown to unbelievable heights. Unfortunately, the media’s primary concern is entertaining regardless of how ridiculous the outcome.
Gonzalez mentioned Palin being compared with Obama, which almost caused me to laugh out loud. There are no other two people who could be more different. I agree that the media outlets are afraid to be branded “liberal” and that causes them to completely fail to point out the shortcomings of people like Palin. Isn’t it time for a change concerning the political arena? The media needs a new set of guidelines when covering our national news. I know we have to uphold freedom of speech but for the sake of fellow Americans there should some form of media outlet that can be trusted rather than despised because of its inability to tell it how it is. The American people need to be informed and so far it seems the only one willing to do so is Jon Stewart. We need more Jon Stewarts in the world!!!
