Would Sarah Palin Like Some Cheese With Her Whine?

It was all the media’s fault.

Or so Sarah Palin seems to say in an interview with right-wing filmmaker John Ziegler for a documentary on what he calls “media malpractice.”

As Politico reports, Gov. Palin sees herself as a victim of that mythical political bogeyman, the “Mainstream Media.” She thinks the MSM promoted its own self-interests at her expense:

He tells WNWO-TV in Toledo that he wants “go over there and let their ‘Average Joes’ share their story.”

Joe said during the campaign that a vote for Obama was a vote for the death of Israel,  and so I’m sure we’ll get some real good journalism here.

Man Awarded $240,000 For Being Forced To Cover T-Shirt

It happened in 2006.  Raed Jarrar was apprehended while waiting to board a Jet Blue flight from New York to Oakland and told to remove his t-shirt which had “We will not be silent” written in Arabic.  Other passengers were uncomfortable, he was told, because wearing sometning with Arabic lettering was like wearing a t-shirt at a bank saying “I am a robber.”  Jarrar covered his shirt with one provided by the airline, and had his seat moved from the front to the back of the  plane.
