Detraction and Calumny aka Gossip

I am absolutely furious about 'anonymous sources' suddenly making spurious allegations about Governor Sarah Palin.

I think to have given this air time is absolutely GOSSIP, and sickening. It isn't dealing with any policies. It is cowardly, anonymous, vicious comments that have nothing to do with news. And I am very disappointed in Carl Cameron. Very much so.

Bill O'Reilly can defend this as news, if he so chooses, but it is rumor, gossip, innuendo.


I am in TOTAL agreement with Laura Ingraham.


And her close friend responds.

Sarah Palin will be on Greta Van Susteren's program on Monday. Whether she chooses to go on Bill O'Reilly or not is entirely her right, and would not in the LEAST bit make his airing of this 'news' any less despicable, in my humble opinion.

Governor Sarah Palin is smart enough to have gone to College. She is smart enough to have been a MAYOR of her city. She was smart enough to have taken on job, recognized things being done that were not 'kosher' and DID something about it, and also became GOVERNOR of her State. She is not a dunce.

She WALKS her talk, in her personal and in her professional life. In a time when many doubted McCain's ability to win, she brought enthusiam for his ticket when he selected her as his running mate. SHE caused many who were not sure about voting for him to change their minds, and back him, including ME.

So now, I want to know where HE is! When is HE going to stand up to those 'anonymous sources' and tell them to let her alone, instead of allowing them to attempt to ruin this woman?? SHE did not cause him to lose this election. He chose her, and he has a duty to defend her from DETRACTION and/or CALUMNY.

Again, this has nothing to do with policies of a candidate, nor of propaganda-style advertising. It has nothing to do with taking the words of a candidate and giving an opinion on what those words mean. This is gossip.



God bless!
