Hateful news media paint Katherine Harris as “Cruella de Ville”greenspun.com : LUSENET : TB2K spinoff uncensored : One Thread |
[Snip]"This reminds me of how Marilyn Quayle was treated [when her husband became vice president in 1989 under President George Bush]. She was made great fun of by the media" for her pro-family views, said Mrs. Terzian. She went on to say the "undignified, below-the-belt personal diatribes" the Gore camp and the media are hurling at Mrs. Harris are "a desperate effort to bring her down." Phyllis Schlafly, president of the conservative Eagle Forum, said the treatment Mrs. Harris is receiving is the "same treatment they gave all women who crossed [President] Clinton." "The media want [Vice President Al] Gore to steal the election, and Katherine Harris is standing in the way. She's like Horatio at the bridge," Mrs. Schlafly said in a telephone interview yesterday from her home in the Midwest.

The lamestream media doesn't even know who Horatio was.

OK. I read the article. The headline claims that the "news media" are painting Ms. Harris as a fiend.So, what evidence was produced to back up this claim?
The article quotes Don Imus. It quotes a variety of people who are "spokesman for" or "connected to" the Gore campaign in some way or other. It cites Jay Leno as making cruel jokes. It then includes a number of laudatory quotes from people who admire Ms. Harris, such as Phyllis Schlafly.
Don Imus? Jay Leno? Alan Dershowitz? When the hell did these people become the "news media"???? Answer: they aren't, but it would be difficult to whip up much sympathy for Ms. Harris by claiming that "hateful comedians and radio talk show hosts" make fun of her. They make fun of everyone.

Since Don has a show on morning and evening on CNN (I think?), since most (almost 50%) of young people get their political news from late night talk show hosts and since the media promotes Dershowitz's view by making it news worthy. (I think he should be gagged!)True, luckily, it's only a few media nitwits that repeat these views but yet enough so that the public hears it.
FWIW I too think she has too much makeup on what appears to be a very beautiful face.

Well, Ms. Clinton endured and continues to endure the same treatment regarding her personal appearance. If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch. Republican and Democrats, male and female alike dispense with the niceities when things get serious.
