From Deseret News archives:

Palin was persecuted

Sarah Palin feels she was treated unfairly by the media. Obviously. In a stroke of brilliance, the Republicans made her their vice presidential choice, figuring that even Democrats couldn't look good being mean to a woman.

But, in a superior stroke of evil genius, the liberals and the television media massacred Palin's credibility by using Tina Fey clips to identify her with the incompetent, stupid things that Tina did. Interviews were edited to make her look as shallow and disconnected as Tina was. She was openly mocked for her accent and speaking style. She was personally ridiculed for decisions made by others.

She is right to resent this persecution.
