If you want to see Media Bias at its best, just look how this story is buried in newspapers today.
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been cleared in Troopergate.
You see, the story that got all the press play was the findings of an inquiry thrown together by the state legislature and rushed to have the most political punch. Even that inquiry couldn't find any criminal wrongdoing but found Palin "abused her power."
But it is the state personnel board that must ultimately decide if wrong was done and if action should be taken.
Here's what they said: "There is no probable cause to believe that Governor Palin violated the Alaska Executive Ethics Act by making the decision to dismiss Department of Public Safety Commissioner (Walt) Monegan and offering him instead the position of director of the Alaska Beverage Control Board."
Was it EVER reported that he was offered another position?
Last month the inquiry commissioned by the state legislature found Mrs Palin had violated ethics rules when she dismissed Mr Monegan in July, allegedly because he refused to fire her former brother-in-law, a state trooper.
The board found no proof of that. But the damage was done and Palin was slimed again by the democrats.
No one in the history of political politics has been vilified, attacked and lied about like this woman. And unlike Barack Obama, she didn't cry and moan everythime their was an accusation.
She just keeps smiling and fighting back.
And again, she has been cleared.

Cleared by a commission made up entirely of HER appointees! This isn't legitimate. Far from it, it reeks of politics. An independent bi-partisan legislative committee came to the proper conclusion. She compromised her ethics by abusing her power. Period.
You all can toss that useless cunt back into her cage. Keep her; America has no need for her.
In fact, bring ME Sarah''s severed leg, and I'll pay you $2,000.
Of course, now that Sarah lost, Bristol WON'T be entrapping herself her useless drunken alaskan stud.
Another Alaskan Bastard on the rise, huh?
Cheer up, drunk republicans. President Obama just might pick up the tab to send all you losers to rehab.
So now that Sarah LOST, there won't be a wedding or legal parenthood for that little bastard that Bristol will pop out of her previously traveled (we all know that SHE gave birth to Trig, NOT Sarah) cunt?
Alaskans: All this proves is that one does not have to be black to be a nigger.
Sarah Palin blamed by the US Secret Service over death threats against Barack Obama
Sarah Palin's attacks on Barack Obama's patriotism provoked a spike in death threats against the future president, Secret Service agents revealed during the final weeks of the campaign.

The Republican vice presidential candidate attracted criticism for accusing Mr Obama of "palling around with terrorists", citing his association with the sixties radical William Ayers.
The attacks provoked a near lynch mob atmosphere at her rallies, with supporters yelling "terrorist" and "kill him" until the McCain campaign ordered her to tone down the rhetoric.
But it has now emerged that her demagogic tone may have unintentionally encouraged white supremacists to go even further.
The Secret Service warned the Obama family in mid October that they had seen a dramatic increase in the number of threats against the Democratic candidate, coinciding with Mrs Palin's attacks.
Michelle Obama, the future First Lady, was so upset that she turned to her friend and campaign adviser Valerie Jarrett and said: "Why would they try to make people hate us?"
The revelations, contained in a Newsweek history of the campaign, are likely to further damage Mrs Palin's credentials as a future presidential candidate. She is already a frontrunner, with Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, to take on Mr Obama in four years time.
Details of the spike in threats to Mr Obama come as a report last week by security and intelligence analysts Stratfor, warned that he is a high risk target for racist gunmen. It concluded: "Two plots to assassinate Obama were broken up during the campaign season, and several more remain under investigation. We would expect federal authorities to uncover many more plots to attack the president that have been hatched by white supremacist ideologues."
Irate John McCain aides, who blame Mrs Palin for losing the election, claim Mrs Palin took it upon herself to question Mr Obama's patriotism, before the line of attack had been cleared by Mr McCain.
That claim is part of a campaign of targeted leaks designed to torpedo her ambitions, with claims that she did not know that Africawas a continent rather than a country.
The advisers have branded her a "diva" and a "whack job" and claimed that she did not know which other countries are in the North American Free Trade Area, (Canada and Mexico). They say she spent more than $150,000 on designer clothes, including $40,000 on her husband Todd and that she refused to prepare for the disastrous series of interviews with CBS's Katie Couric.
In a bid to salvage her reputation Mrs Palin came out firing in an interview with CNN, dismissing the anonymous leakers in unpresidential language as "jerks" who had taken "questions or comments I made in debate prep out of context."
She said: "I consider it cowardly. It's not true. That's cruel, it's mean-spirited, it's immature, it's unprofessional and those guys are jerks if they came away taking things out of context and then tried to spread something on national news that's not fair and not right."
She was not asked about her incendiary rhetoric against Mr Obama. But she did deny the spending spree claims, saying the clothes in question had been returned to the Republican National Committee. "Those are the RNC's clothes, they're not my clothes. I asked for anything more than maybe a diet Dr Pepper once in a while. These are false allegations."
Speaking as she returned to her native Alaska, Mrs Palin claimed to be baffled by what she claims was sexism on the national stage. "Here in Alaska that double standard isn't applied because these guys know that Alaskan women are pretty tough, on a par with the men in terms of being outdoors, working hard," she said.
"They're commercial fishermen, they're pilots, they're working up on the North slopein the oil fields. You see equality in Alaska. I think that was a bit of as surprise on the national level."
This cunt will only succeed in overexposing herself until we find out the REAL DIRT on the bitch, and send her flat and flabby ass packing back to her inbred idiotic hellspawn.
