"Peasants With Pitchforks' Uprising Against MSM

The mainstream media is reeling from the furor it has created over it's hate-filled bashing of GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin.

As John McCain and Sarah Palin took their post-convention campaign tour of several areas over the last few days, 'peasants with pitchforks' have greeted the reporters who are covering them with derision, shouting and pointing fingers at them, demanding that they 'be fair.'

Several MSM columnists have reported being stunned and even 'frightened' by the amount of negative attention readers have given to their smear campaign against Palin.

These idiots in the media don't have a clue.

They are so out of touch with mainstream America that they are shocked to discover the average voter in the vast American heartland views their punditry with disdain.

The reason is not far to find. Most of these elitist snobs don't know anybody in the heartland. Their friends and acquaintances, their social circle of fellow elitists, surround themselves with a mutual admiration society. They are so out of touch they actually believe their views are accepted by, well, everyone.

One columnist in particular stated that her column on Palin was viewed by 100 times her normal readership and that the vast majority were enraged that she would say such things about Palin.

She said was shocked by the attention and that the response 'frightened' her.

No greater example of the self-congratulatory snobbery of the MSM exists than the CBS gathering of its political correspondents covering the RNC on one of its morning shows this week. Katie Couric, Bob Schieffer, Jeff Greenfield, and others responded to the charge of negative coverage of Palin by claiming they had been 'totally fair.'

By who's standard? Who helped them arrive at their decision? Did an independent watchdog group come to this conclusion? Or did they simply get together and decide all on their own?

The idea that the CBS partisans arrived at their assessment with the help of an independent source is rolling-on-the-floor laughable.

Don't look now, Katie and Bob, but the millions of 'peasants with pitchforks' who are enraged at the tone of your coverage are watching you as never before. And they are demanding that you back off McCain-Palin and do some investigative digging on Obama's scandals--something you have refused to do.
