John Ziegler Calls For NBC To Fire Palin-Hating Norah O'Donnell (LARGE grain of salt please)
Without question one of the most vehement, unapologetic Sarah Palin haters on national television is NBC's Norah O'Donnell.

So contemptuous of the former Alaska Governor is O'Donnell that she actually went to a Palin book signing event last week armed with crib notes to attack fans of the outspoken conservative.

Seeing this as the straw that broke the camel's back, Palin documentarian John Ziegler has called for NBC to fire O'Donnell.

In a piece he published at his website, Ziegler outlined his reasons:
If there was an All-Star roster of news media members who have been willing to go the lowest and get the dirtiest in their brazen and transparent attempt to destroy Sarah Palin, NBC’s Norah O’Donnell, along with numerous of her NBC colleagues, would certainly make the first team. My question (which I have asked her twice on live TV) is: How in the world does she still have a job at one of the most powerful alleged “news” organizations in the country, and if she isn’t fired for bias, then is such an event even possible? <...>


Even a cursory look at O’Donnell’s remarkably horrid track record when covering Palin, brings into grave question whether NBC was not committing “Media Malpractice” by even allowing O’Donnell to cover the book event. At this point a restraining order keeping O’Donnell away from Palin all together might be very well in order.

1. Well
I should think NBC will appreciate this as evidence she's doing her job.

21. And asking simple not complex questions, who woulda thought
that reporters would do such a thing?

This mentality is a continuation of the dumbing down of America started by Reagan, Americans should take what their corporate masters tell them. The previous president and his facist thugs pushed this theme even further.

3. Ziegler's Review of queen Palin's Book...
John Ziegler said, "I was simply blown away by Going Rogue on almost every level. For many reasons, this is by far the best book and greatest literary achievement by a political figure in my
lifetime."

20. Gee...I wonder what it was that motivated that rave review?????
Edited on Tue Nov-24-09 03:44 PM by BrklynLiberal
It certainly was not a reading of the book.....

Brings to mind that other rwingnut - I tend to forget their names - who inferred that he got real excited
when the barracuda winked AT HIM during one of the debates.


One can only wonder.

Can you imagine how incensed the barracuda is that a young..younger than she is...attractive, woman might actually
be better at what she does that the barracuda is? What a laugh.

palin can't handle the heat so she quits in her cushy job as Gov of Alaska and then gets a book out(whatever) and she can't handle the tour.

10. "brazen and transparent attempt to destroy Sarah Palin"
OK, start right there and replace SP with Barack Obama. Then replace NBC with Fox. Replace Nora's name with ANYONE at Fox who claims to be providing 'news'

11. Ziegler, how about Fox's Judge Napolitano and Brian Kilmeade?
Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano called Palin a "goofball" that doesn't "possess the mental capacity to be President of the United States."

Audio - http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2009/11/judge-napolitano-attacks-palin-calls.html



Here is audio of Brian Kilmeade and Judge Napolitano on their radio show "Brian and the Judge" criticizing Palin for saying that she expected her interview with Katie Couric to be "light-hearted fun" between two "working moms."

Kilmeade asked "what was she thinking?" He said if "she had done a light family oriented interview, Katie Couric would have had to pack up right after the interview and call it a news career." Kilmeade went on to say "that's sexist, because she's talking to a woman she expected it to be a light-hearted mom interview?"

12. LIterary Achievement????
Ahhhhh, They really undermind their whole arguement when they lay the BS on so fuckin' thick. And when Judge Nappy and Brian 'kin Kilmeade are sort of correct in there own way of warpedness, then its even crazier in freeperville than normal. (and thats usually IQ like 85ish on a good day)

with for their groups are comical....literally, comical.

15. Isn't Zeigler the goofball who saw starbursts when Palin winked..
at the vice presidential debate?

He belongs in a padded cell.

And I say: Sic Norah on Palin at every and any event!

Send NOrah to every damned book signing,
and every press event,
and every time Palin shows her horsey face.

Go get her, Norah! I got yer back!

17. I decided to juxtapose this story against Norah's interview with Palin fans
and TYT's video that shows New Left Media's interviews with Palin fans at a book signing at http://americancommentary.wordpress.com/">my blog.

24. Whenever someone says they support "upholding the constitution"
you know you're talking to an idiot.
