I thought I'd seen it all, but this one leaves me with that punch-in-the-gut, flabbergasted shock that I can't shake anymore while witnessing the media's free fall into that damaging darkness covering America. The media is at fault for so many aspects of the division and hopelessness running rampant in our society. It's not the people it's the media perpetuating a sense of injustice and despair, resulting in apathy or desperation in homes and communities all across our country. The degradation falls on your shoulders, media principals. Though many have tried to give CNN the benefit of the doubt with their overall news coverage (in fact I've even been happy to publicly point out issues CNN has fairly covered), shame on us if we continue to support their unprofessional, hypocritical, and unethical news coverage. It's truly sickening, yet strangely laughable, their underestimation of the wisdom of their audience. Compare these two videos Bristol highlighted in her latest blog post:

This example makes me physically sick because they spit in the face of every American who has fought for freedom and sacrificed to protect everyone's First Amendment rights. It's not because this issue involves my daughter; it's because Carol Costella, her ilk, and her boss are disgustingly dismissive and disrespectful of the sacrifices made that allow them a platform from which to broadcast their hate and stupidity. CNN is lucky to have their few outstanding employees that shine through the darkness that is CNN. I admire the good ones, and hope they land at more deserving companies when CNN goes under. Zucker, not for my sake, but for the sake of a cornerstone of our democracythe pressget ahold of your underlings. They make you look really, really bad, and they are ruining America.

Ignoring them is their worst nightmare, others rehashing their craziness is their desire.
Mocking the insane just encourages them.

(28,979 posts)that made absolutely no sense. None. Zip. Nada. Is she comparing her daughter starting a drunken brawl with a stranger to domestic violence? I don't see the point of comparison.

(20,018 posts)would anyone still remember her name?
She's only in the public eye because the media sucks so hard.
(Edit to add: I'm glad they reported on her family shenanigans, but otherwise I don't know any reason why we should ever hear from her again)

(17,656 posts)Man, I didn't know what was going on.
I didn't realize that a news outlet had told the world what a bunch of backwater, racist, in-bred hillbillies the Palin family truly is.
And to think that braindead ignoramus thought she was qualified to be the vice president!!
It boggles the mind.

(58,724 posts)CNNs Carol Costello apologized on Thursday for joking about a police recording of Bristol Palin.
"Over the past few days I have been roundly criticized for joking about a brawl involving the Palin family. In retrospect, I deserve such criticism and would like to apologize," Costello said in a statement to POLITICO.
