In an apparent attempt to rehabilitate her frayed image with the American public, former Republican nominee for vice president and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has continued lashing out. Though the issue of why seems to point to a run for president in 2012, even the most insulated individual could not realistically place this supremely unqualified politician in that league. Could they? If Palin is continuing her “blame the media” campaign for a reason other than spite, it does appear that her future national political aspirations are in play.

Never mind that the wounds Palin claims to have suffered at the hends of the media were self-inflicted, she really distinguished herself as an extremist with claims that Caroline Kennedy is receiving special media treatment while seeking a Senate seat appointment in New York State due to her “class.”

That would be laughable except Republican policies of the past eight years helped place 80 percent of America’s wealth into the hands of its richest 10 percent, opening up the largest have-versus-have not gap since prior to the Great Depression.

Unlike Palin, the values of Caroline Kennedy are well-known. She has fought for the majority of Americans and will stand against the “wealthy first” policies that epitomize Republican ideology. Kennedy is also a lawyer, selfless lifelong volunteer for the public good, Constitutional scolar and author.’

Kennedy understands the difference between unchallenged propaganda and actual bias. In right-wing Republican fashion, Palin mistakes “bias” for actual news reporting.
