There is a mainstream media fire brigade that is prepared to fight any potential Sarah Palin blaze with so many buckets of leftwing hate that she simply doesn’t have a chance.
It is coordinated and it extends to the highest levels of the Big Lie machine we call “journalism”:
New Polls and hit pieces surfaces just when Palin is to give major speech in India (coincidence?)

When arguments that public opinion of Western Europe must be considered during these show trials, Stalin replied “Never mind, they’ll swallow it”
Stalin was right, many indeed swallowed it…
Conservatives everywhere for the most part understand that most Major news organizations in the United States is nothing more than a propaganda machine for left wing ideology and special interest groups. But more than just knowing who they are, it is also imperative to know how they do their dirty deed less we fall into the trap eyes-wide open.
Since Sarah Palin came out on the national scene in August of 2008, the big media guns in print, web and television have been going on the offensive against Palin, her family and all that she has accomplish with great fervor filled with gossip, lies and propaganda hit-pieces. The greatest weapon used against Palin is the use of FEAR, UNCERTAINTY and DOUBT to cast a pall over supporters and potential supporters of the former Governor if she ever has an desire to pursue higher office.
This is an attempt to influence public perception by disseminating negative and dubious information designed only to undermine the credibility of their beliefs; the belief that Sarah Palin is a strong candidate that can defeat Barrack Obama in the 2012 election.
Case in point…
Enter India Today Conclave 2011 Saturday, March 19 – A prestigious forum for world leaders to discuss the challenges facing the New World. Previous speakers for this conference have included Benazir Bhutto, Bill Clinton, Colin Powell and the Dalai Lama. The Prime Minister of India is schedule to give the opening remarks to the conference. The former vice-presidential nominee of the Republican Party and Governor of Alaska from 2006-09 will exclusively attend the 10th India Today Conclave on Saturday, March 19th and give the key note speech title: “My Vision of America”.
Enter the media –
On Sunday March 13: The New York Magazine publish a ‘UNSOURCED’ gossip article that Palin and Fox News chairman Roger Aile were at odds against each other and that Palin was brazen and contemptuous in her actions to Ailes over advice given to her about the Tucson shooting – something that happened almost two months ago that suddenly reappeared this week for some strange reason.
On Monday March 14: The Politico ran a story Titled: “Palin becoming Al Sharpton?” In the hit-piece they attempt to make Palin politics to be about “grievances and group identity” according to her critics, which is a betrayal of conservative principle and tie her to the likes of Democrat Al Sharpton who is considered a joke, race-baiter and hustler among conservatives.
On Tuesday March 15: Mitt Romney received an another piece of hardware for his Republican-In-Name-Only mantle, the most coveted seal of approval from Meagan McCain (I just threw this bit in just to break the ice a little, it wasn’t all bad for Palin)
On Wednesday March 16: Low and behold, a brand new smacking poll from ABC/Washington Post showing that fewer GOP-leaning independents see Palin in a favorable light – they pointed out that these poll numbers show “a potentially troubling sign for the former Alaska governor as she weighs…” whether to run or not in the 2012 election. Of course many media sources picked up on the new poll and compared Sarah to the likes of Nancy Pelosi low poll numbers and other liberals that conservatives don’t care much for.
(By the way do you actually think that if Palin indeed does run that ABC/Washington Post will ever have a favorable poll numbers for Palin?)
Well, we have two more days to consider what other hit-piece, gossip or polling data telling us who Sarah Palin is or is not, however way you may see it. Some conservatives and independents will indeed lap it up by getting discouraged and buy it no matter how well Palin may do in India which is on the weekend so if Sarah Palin does well you won’t hear much from it but if she was to make a tiny gaffe or something out of the ordinary happened, of course it will be blared across the World.
That’s the World of propaganda and we must learn to see it with eyes wide open what it is before we ‘swallow it’ without even realizing it.
I personally hope Sarah Palin does not try to run for president, as much as I admire her. The reason is simply that the media collectively have too much power and too much blatant irrational hatred for her.
They will continue to dump more and more toxic stories about her – and who gives a damn if they are all baseless and false? – until they achieve their desired result of poisoning 50-plus percent of the minds against her.
Adolf Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf (James Murphy translation, page 134):
“All this was inspired by the principle – which is quite true in itself – that in the big lie there is always a certain force of credibility; because the broad masses of a nation are always more easily corrupted in the deeper strata of their emotional nature than consciously or voluntarily; and thus in the primitive simplicity of their minds they more readily fall victims to the big lie than the small lie, since they themselves often tell small lies in little matters but would be ashamed to resort to large-scale falsehoods. It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying. These people know only too well how to use falsehood for the basest purposes.”
Hitler’s minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels, summarized Hitler’s “big lie” theory, saying that if a lie is repeated enough times it would become widely accepted as truth.
This is exactly what the leftwing mainstream media (both in the “news” and in the opinion-shaping late night programs) have repeatedly been doing all along.
As icon of leftwing journalists Walter Lippmann put it:
“News and truth are not the same thing.”
Which of course allows the mainstream media to misrepresent the truth in the guise of reporting “the news.”
As Walter Lippmann also put it:
“The common interests very largely elude public opinion entirely and can be managed only by a specialized class whose personal interests reach beyond the locality.”
Which gives the mainstream media the right to serve as “gatekeepers,” and prevent the people from learning anything that might otherwise cause them to discover that conservatives have it right and liberals have it dead wrong.
And as fellow member of the leftwing journalist hall of fame Edward Bernays put it:
“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”
Because what is power if you can’t even manipulate the truth and shape it to serve your agenda? And if you’re a leftwing liberal progressive journalist – as basically 90 percent of journalists are today – what could be better than being one of the people “who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society” so you can “constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country”???
Bernays is a monster in the field of “journalism” that was long-ago hijacked by liberal ideologues with an agenda. And in fact it isn’t a stretch of any kind to connect Hitler’s “Big Lie” strategy to Bernays:
In describing the origin of the term Public Relations, Bernays commented, “When I came back to the United States [from the war], I decided that if you could use propaganda for war, you could certainly use it for peace. And propaganda got to be a bad word because of the Germans … using it. So what I did was to try to find some other words, so we found the words Counsel on Public Relations”.
Even people who can’t imagine themselves being affected by this ARE affected. And in fact it’s the fact that they don’t think they can be fooled that serves as the principle reason that they are so easily fooled. They hear an avalanche of negative coverage, day in and day out, and the inevitable result in their subconscious minds is that they say to themselves, “Something must be wrong with that woman.”
When of course the only thing that’s “wrong” with Sarah Palin is that a completely wicked, dishonest and depraved media machine utterly despise her.
I don’t think Sarah Palin can overcome this. When you add the ignorant people to the bad people today, you’ve got a clear majority. And Sarah – as talented as she is – will not be able to compensate for nonstop negative coverage.
What she needs to do is keep doing what she’s been doing since 2009. She needs to keep getting her message out, getting under the skin of liberals, serving as a lightening rod and playing king- and queenmaker.
And may God bless that courageous woman.

Very sad. Sarah Palin’s courage has been an example to me and I would be so grateful if she were elected POTUS.
March 17, 2011 at 5:30 pm
I want ms palin to run against obama in 2012. I am glad to vote and campaign for her.
March 17, 2011 at 7:03 pm
Well, good luck if she runs, Ron.
My biggest fear is that Sarah Palin would be able to win the GOP primary, but then fall prey to the savage, unrelenting mainstream media attack that will attack her morning, noon and night. And that she would then lose to Obama because the media will convince too many people that we are better off with Obama – bad as he is – than the fear of Palin.
If you back a polarizing figure who loses, you become responsible for the consequences. And the consequences would be the very real likelihood of the re-election of Obama and the end of the United States as Obama implodes it.
March 18, 2011 at 2:46 am
Michael, do you have any thoughts as to who could beat Obama?

Not really, HL.
So much depends upon the economy and the state of world affairs. If things appear (by which I mean a false-appearing reality where things look to be getting better when really they aren’t), then it becomes a beauty contest.
If things really look grim, then it will be a policy contest.
I myself really don’t like Mitt Romney; I don’t trust him at all. But he’s our “beauty contest” guy.
The thing that worries me is that we’re in real trouble, and we’re fast reaching a point where we can’t possibly fix all the things that have been broken. Given that winning the presidency will mean putting one’s family through personal hell as unhinged media propagandists use their “Sarah Palin coverage skills” on any Republican, only to fight for a job that will literally end up being powerless to stop the blood gushing out of the country, my fear is the best conservatives won’t run.
A compromise might be Mike Huckabee, who isn’t the true fiscal conservative we need, but who is a good, well-spoken man.
