Steve,
As you probably know your article
http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-palinreligion28-2008sep28,0,3643718.story?page=1&track=rss
is exciting Democrats all over the country because of the quote by
Phillip Munger claiming Sarah Palin said humans and dinosaurs
coexisted. Outside of this quote there is nothing out of the
mainstream I read about her beliefs.
So- did you know that Munger hosts a blog called Progressive Alaska and
is an anti-Republican operative? If so, should that not be disclosed?
If not, how could you not check your sources? Or do you not care as
long as you can damage one candidate's chances for victory versus your
candidate? I googled this man and saw within 10 seconds that this was
a political move in favor of the Obama campaign.
Furthermore, if the most dirt you can dig up on Sarah Palin is a
(dubious) quote from a political enemy, she must be pretty clean.
Would your paper publish an Obama hit piece based on a quote by Ann
Coulter? That is what you have done to Palin.
Your article is a sham, and your bias is unbelievably transparent.
This is not journalism, it is campaigning. Campaign for Obama all you
like, but don't try to pass it off to the gullible masses as news. Try
winning on ideas and truth.
