The Media is not sexist...Palin says..

So its been established and even Palin agrees that the media coverage of her is not sexist. Instead she believes the media has been critical because she is not part of the "washington herd". CBS has been reporting on Couric's interviews of Palin and here is an excerpt from the interview.


Couric: "Do you think the coverage of you has been sexist?"

Palin: "No, I don't. I mean, I know that there -- it's obvious there's some double-standards here, you know, in terms of what the media has been doing, but I think that's more -- I think more attributable to just the media elite, the Washington elite, not knowing who I am and just asking a whole lot of questions and not so much based on gender though, but based on just the fact that I'm not part of the Washington herd."

Couric: "Having said that, do you think it would be sexist, governor, not to question your credentials and your policy positions?"

Palin: "It would be sexist if the media were to hold back and not ask me about my experience, my vision, my principles, my values, you're right.

here is a link of the nine minute interview.



But Ms. Palin...i dont think the media is being critical of you not being a part of the washington elite. I think it might....be something else. *cough *cough
