Open letter to the media:
Why do you hate Gov. Sarah Palin so much? By all accounts, she is a
very decent human being. Her approval rating as governor of Alaska is
around 80 percent. She has shown tremendous courage, successfully
taking on the entrenched, corrupt "good old boys" in her state,
including those in her own party.
She appears to have great
respect for all human lives, to have good, traditional American values
and common sense, and to be very bright and very genuine. As a bonus,
she also is pleasant and attractive.
Since you frequently claim
that you want women to succeed in the world, one would think you would
be cheering for such a woman. Instead, you are doing everything you can
to attack her personally -- looking for dirt and spreading rumors.
Even
President Bill Clinton has suggested that Democrats should accept Palin
as being a very attractive candidate but point out that they differ
with her on the issues. Apparently, you realize you cannot win on the
issues, so you have decided to resort to vicious personal attacks.
Obviously, you are free to use your paper and ink as you choose, but
please don't claim to be even-handed or unbiased, and don't complain
about the low level to which politics has sunk, since you are largely
responsible for the sinking (and the stinking).
