Review of Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted (2009) by Gary M — 23 Feb 2011

Normally, I'm not prone to watch documentaries, but this one actually looked interesting. Yeah, it does come across as a little biased, but let's face it - the media was completely in the tank for Barak Obama and were dead-set on vilifying Sarah Palin.

Sadly, this film is probably just going to preach to the choir. Every conservative who watches this film already knows just how badly the press behaved in the 2008 presidential election. Every liberal who watches this will likely denounce it as a smear tactic.

However, if you ignore the fact that McCain was a bad candidate for president, ignore the fact that it's blatantly obvious that the press is left-leaning, ignore the fact that there was a serious wave of discontent among voters with the current political establishment, and focus on just how far out of their way the media went to portray Obama in a flattering light and Palin as the villain, it becomes very obvious that there was some serious misinformation on the part of the media.

Yes, that was probably a run-on sentence of epic proportion. Still, this film does a good job of showing just how the media treats the candidate they deem worthy and the one they deem beneath them. Props to John Ziegler for putting this montage into a presentable format - despite his relatively unbiased perspective.
