Palin didn’t want Burr around

It’s amazing, but I’ve found myself agreeing with Sarah Palin twice in the past couple of days. At first I thought I might be coming down with something, but on reflection, I see that she that no, I’m not sick — Palin was actually right, for once. Or twice. First, there was her complaint about the current cover of Newsweek, which used a photo of Palin, originally taken for Runner’s World, in running shorts. She said the magazine’s decision to run the photo to accompany a story about her politics was “sexist and degrading,” and she’s right. The magazine is being blasted by critics from both the right and the left, and deservedly so.
Today, I find myself agreeing wholeheartedly with Palin’s sentiments about N.C.’s own Sen. Richard Burr. Atlantic magazine is running a story on tensions within the McCain-Palin campaign. In it, an October 26, 2008 e-mail from Palin’s staff to the McCain campaign declares that Palin had voiced “her displeasure” that, after a long day of campaigning in North Carolina, “U.S. Senator Richard Burr was allowed to ride the [Straight Talk Express II bus] with her.” Hell, who can blame her? After an exhausting day, would you want to spend your downtime with Richard Burr? Or, for that matter, any other time? Didn’t think so.
Burr and Palin in happier times

We agree. I was actually thinking about the newsweek cover but there are so many things to correct Democrats on, I decided not to bother in my last post.
One that people probably don’t know about is the in the Barbara Walters interview the camera man uses a technique that makes the person your filming less likeable. Frank Luntz (the guy who records audience reactions)brought this up on Hanity. When you give an extreme close up of a person it has a negative effect. I didnt think about this before but when you go back and watch the interview they focus so far on Palins face that you cannot even see the top of her head. Every camera shot of Barbara was a normal shot where you could see the whole top of her body. Just watch the video and see how the news trys to distort the presentation to help push its cause. If the news media does not like you be aware of the extreme close up shots next time and know that they are trying to distort the news any way they can.
