Salon's Camille Paglia has regularly chided the press for their obvious Palin Derangement Syndrome, and on Wednesday tried to once again explain the malady:
As a Democrat, I detest the partisan machinations that have become standard in Northeastern news management and that are detectable in editorial decisions at major metropolitan newspapers nationwide. It's why I, like a host of others, have shifted my news gathering to the Web.
Responding to a reader's question about the Alaska governor, Paglia referred to the "Northeastern media" as "vultures and harpies" as well as "preening bullies, cackling witches, twisted cynics and pompous windbags" as she took on Vanity Fair's Todd Purdum for the "faux objectivity" throughout his recent Palin hit piece.
Paglia also attacked the "vicious double standard" concerning how Palin's family have been regular media targets compared to the respect accorded Chelsea Clinton:
Scurrying around Alaska with his notepad, Purdum still managed to find comically little to indict her with. Anyone with a gripe is given the floor; fans are shut out. This exercise in faux objectivity is exposed at key points such as Purdum's failure to identify the actual instigator of Palin's extravagant clothing bills (a crazed, credit-card-abusing stylist appointed by the McCain campaign) and his prissy characterization of Palin's performance at the vice-presidential debate as merely "adequate." Hey, wake up -- Palin cleaned Biden's clock! By the end, Biden was sighing and itching to split.
Whether Palin has a national future or not will depend on her willingness to hit the books at some point and absorb more information about international history and politics than she has needed to know in her role as governor. She also needs a shrewder, cooler take on the mainstream media, with its preening bullies, cackling witches, twisted cynics and pompous windbags. The Northeastern media establishment is in decline, and everyone knows it. Palin should not have gotten into a slanging match with David Letterman or anyone else who has been obsessively defaming her or her family. Let surrogates do that stuff.
The vicious double standard is pretty obvious. Only the tabloids, for example, ran the photos of a piss-drunk Chelsea Clinton, panties exposed, falling into her car outside London clubs a few years ago. If Chelsea had been the scion of Republican bigwigs, those tacky scenes would have been trumpeted from pillar to post in the U.S. as signals of parental failures or turmoil in clan Clinton. As a Democrat, I detest the partisan machinations that have become standard in Northeastern news management and that are detectable in editorial decisions at major metropolitan newspapers nationwide. It's why I, like a host of others, have shifted my news gathering to the Web.
Amen.

Forgive me, but Camille is a very rare Democrat: one who isn't unequivocally partisan and completely unwilling to point out when someone on the Left isn't wearing any clothes.
To how many other Democrats in the media would you attribute such impartiality?

I am not the type of person to use the hypocrisy angle with politicians. I accuse posters of hyprocrisy all the time, but when we talk about polticians like Spitizer or Edwards, I would just say what they did was bad, not this person or that person from the republican party did the same thing.
I agree with you that the msm is very partisian. I am just saying that there are many moderate democrats and independents that recognize what the msm are doing and they voted for Obama figuring anything was better than what we got from the Bush administration, but with the results from the first half year, I'm sure many would want a do over
Also regarding your list. Most people here praise Scarborough, Novak or Kathleen Parker when the criticize the Obama administration, but when they criticize the republican party they are just a bunch of RINO's

July 8, 2009 - 09:51 ET by metaphorsbwithuReading CP is always entertaining but it's so instructive and telling reading the angry comments after her posts. You know how much she gets under the skin of her "friends" on the left by the vitriol of the comments she generates simply by saying the obvious and displaying some degree of intellectual honesty.
She doesn't have her eyes wide-open yet, displays wide gaps in her analysis of people and issues (IMHO), but at least she recognizes those core issues and displays an ability to see the elephant in the room and the courage to say so.

July 8, 2009 - 21:03 ET by ACWWhy is it necessary to google for drunken pic's of Chelsea Clintion, Jenna or Barbara Bush, the Reagan or Carter children. . . or any politicians offspring Why would it matter and who cares ?

July 8, 2009 - 10:50 ET by nwahs"Palin should not have gotten into a slanging match with David Letterman
or anyone else who has been obsessively defaming her or her family. Let
surrogates do that stuff."
It was then Sarah started adopting the posture of a victim. It continued in her resignation speech. I think its very unattractive in a leader. It doesn't make them look tough, it makes them look as petty as those they are arguing with.
I think her attorneys statement was also a huge blunder. If you are going to sue someone, you are not required to warn them. Again, it sounds like a drama queen or idle threat. Most people that sue don't give a heads up they're going to sue. Its stupid.
Why not Jeb Bush?
Sorry Shawn,
July 8, 2009 - 11:18 ET by IamTinmanI didn't see Sarah Palin as a victim, I saw a Mom defending her kids from outrageous attacks. Not for herself but for her children.
Anyone who knows anything about Sarah Palin would never think she isn't tough. This is a woman who at 45 years old runs marathons, handles a fishing boat in the Bering sea, can field dreess an elk, and manage a large household. By no means a weenie!
And since I have lawyers in the family, I can state with certainty that they quite often warn their opponents because it sometimes stops the offending actions and if not, makes their case just that much stronger when they do go to court!
Defending her kids? I
July 9, 2009 - 09:31 ET by CacciatoDefending her kids?
I forget. Did People magazine force Bristol to be on the cover?
Sarah used her children and she's to blame 100 percent for the media scrutiny. She regularly exploits her kids and then cries about the media focus. Sorry, but you can't have it both ways.

July 9, 2009 - 09:39 ET by motherbeltBristol Palin agreed to do a People story on teen motherhood.

July 8, 2009 - 12:30 ET by candanceCmon and admit it, you hate everything about Sarah Palin. You've never had a kind word to say about her and you show up on almost every Palin thread to recite the DKos mantra du jour.
One day she's too tough, the next day she's weak. One day she's a vicious partisan, the next day she pouts and plays victim. One day she reacted too strongly, the next day she looked indecisive. One day she's a scheming politician who hides corruption and is planning a Pentecostal takeover of the world...the next day she's too dumb to read a newspaper.
Here's an idea for you: next time Palin makes the news, refrain from posting for 48 hours, let us predict your spiel, and see how close we end up being. You are that predictable.
I've said good things about Palin
July 8, 2009 - 15:19 ET by nwahshttp://newsbusters.o...
I didn't have a problem with Palin. I think she did great in the the VP debate. I didn't like the idea of giving her her very own "Joe the Plumber" ("Tito the builder") but I'm sure that was the McCain camp's call. I thought the blatant sexism shown to her was disgusting also. I'm not going to dig up every post I've defended Palin in. Here's an idea for you. Don't make baseless accusations.
You've got some weird stereotype in your head. I thought Palin was the best part of the McCain ticket. But that doesn't mean I'm going to defend her obvious blunders at this juncture.
Why not Jeb Bush?
Nwahs, Are you
July 8, 2009 - 12:45 ET by LiberalliesNwahs,
Are you serious?!
1) Sarah Palin as victim? So defending your family, defending your 14 year old daughter from a perverted old fart is playing the victim? Demanding that he apologizes for his digusting remarks about her 14 year old daughter is playing a victim?
So, when President Obama and the Liberals demanded that Conservatives and Republicans not attack Michelle Obama for her digusting comments against America and Americans, were Obama and Liberals playing a victim? When he asked that his daughters, which had never been attacked, be off limits, was he acting like a victim?
2) You are obviously not a lawyer and you watch way too many lawyer television shows. Sorry, most people that sue do not sue right away, there are steps involved, back deal negotiations. Usually you contact the other party's lawyers first and try to work something out, especially in a slander or defemation case. It is very rare that a lawsuit goes straight to the courts. There is something called Cease and Deceit letter that is sent long before a defemation or slander case goes to court.
Get a clue Nwahs and stop watching so much television and start measuring your god Obama with the same standards that you measure Sarah Palin. Oh don't worry, i know you won't since you know Obama won't meet those very high standards.
Easy for you to say

Let me correct you...
July 8, 2009 - 15:09 ET by UnsaneNo, n-waaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhssssssssssssssss, it began the instant she hopped on to the national stage in August when she became a VP candidate. The press, much like you. are simply enraged that she dare take any time to convert oxygen into carbon dioxide.
They have constantly thrown s*** at this woman just for showing up, conservative. Why?
Because even now she has a shot - a shot only - of becoming the first female President of the United States. No Leftist can dare tolerate this. (Much as Miguel Estrada was targeted long ago by Leftists because they cannot dare allow a conservative Hispanic to become the first Hispanic on the Supreme Court.)
For the record, we'll see what happens with Mrs. Palin. I am a firm believer in the principle of just holding the election, just because - and 2012 is a long way off in the realm of politics.
Why not Jeb Bush? Because he is personally tormented by the whole "dynasty" thing. Also because I seriously doubt that conservatives will support another Bush again - both Bushes were great in foreign policy but not that great in domestic policy.
