Required for all US Journalism Teachers!
How do you prepare kids for a career in a dead industry that has morphed into propaganda? Show them this DVD and start from there. A great ethics lesson in journalism!
shareYes!
This was a great doc, and I remember thinking why I kept seeing Palin's blunders splashed all of the evening news, yet the same news outlets believed Obama could walk on water.
Seems three quarters of the media now has egg on their faces... Given Obama's performance. I feel I can say, that while Palin might not have been the best choice for national public office, there's NO WAY she could do WORSE then Obama.
This doc is not easy to watch, especially if you get your news from The Daily Show and SNL. Once you can admit you were bilked by the media, sold the idea that Obama was the “chosen one”… And now you can look around you and see what a fiasco the whole Obama presidency turned out to be… Admit it… You were duped.

My, you're nosey, aren't you?
Palin got off easy. Gotcha journalism...like what do you read. I often think we are beyond blunders that could cost us everything like a nuclear war. Then along comes Sarah and MaCain does a hail Mary trying to get the base(fanatics similar to the fanatics in the middle east). Anyway I'm very surprised she did not run this time. She did have three years to learn about the Continents she might one day obliterate. No need of Alaska...she quit that. She`s not stupid however incredibly ignorant so she is probably learning the 101 of international politics. I`m sure someone somewhere has her interview prep footage in case she tries to re-appear.
Obama inherited the worst administration the US has ever past on to an incoming President. In three years he has slowly turned it around. Hopefully he will get another term. When I look at US Presidential candidates I play a little fun game. If they were President during the Cuban missile crisis would they have pulled it off with diplomacy like Kennedy or would we have 90 million plus dead and a radioactive planet barely suitable for human life. Palin is bar far the winner for assured catastrophic destruction. I think Romney would actually go the diplomacy way...so would Obama. Bush...DEATH MaCAIN...life. It`s rather an amusing little game. Good old Sarah...we`ve been here 7000 years...what`s the big deal. All the born agains will ascend into heaven and basically be better off. She is one scary chick. I like MaCain but I`ll always hold him responsible for giving the world Sarah Palin.
She should start her own party. The Republicans like Mitt and Newt could then stop pretending to be religious and have to cater to this ridiculous base.
