In an article from cnn.com Sarah Palin states she feels attacked by mainstream media and says they destroyed her candidacy to become vice president by targeting her negatively. John Zeigler is coming out with a documentary entitled Media Malpractice that shows how bias in news and media influence effected Palin's campaign and the overall election. The video above shows clips from an interview Zeigler had with Palin. There are arguments over how the media portrayed Sarah Palin and whether or not their methods were acceptable. The news is supposed to be objective, but people are saying that much of the media showed bias and favored Obama.
Although I wouldn't have wanted Sarah Palin as vice president, I agree that the media definitely hurt her campaign. Much of the media did favor Obama and captured him in good light, and did the opposite for Palin. She was seen by the media as an unintelligent, just ridiculous woman who would not be fit in the role of vice president. This film will show just how the media did this and its influence on the 2009 presidential election.
Here is a link the the documentary website.
