I’ve mentioned John Ziegler’s efforts before to correct the record about How Obama Got Elected. As part of making his new movie, “Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Smeared” he has interviewed Sarah Palin. Some of his comments on that interview are here. (you may need to scroll down)
the most important part of my visit to the Palin house is that there is a big difference between thinking that something is true and knowing for sure that it is. I now know that Sarah Palin is who I thought she was.
I also know now, with moral certitude, that the media assassination of her, her character and her family was one of the greatest public injustices of our time and I am totally justified in devoting my life to correcting the historical record in my forthcoming film “Media Malpractice…How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Smeared”
I’ll keep linking to developments on this, but I think this is going to be a gangbuster’s film, with so much content in making its case that no one, no matter how avid a media consumer, has seen it all, and many people are going to be surprised at the strength of the case Ziegler makes.
Stay tuned.
UPDATE: Early rumblings in the main-stream media about the Palin interview are here, including Palin pointing out the obvious disparity in the treatment of Caroline Kennedy’s candidacy for the Senate as opposed to Palin’s for the veep slot, even though Kennedy is angling for an appointment and won’t even be vetted by the voters til 2010, while Palin would at least have to have been elected to start with.
UPDATE: Of course, in the coverage linked here, John Ziegler is a “conservative film maker,” not merely a “documentary film maker.” I wonder if the makers of anti-Bush films in the last 8 years are usually referred to as “liberal film makers”? How about all the anti-war stinkeroos that have died in the box office in the last few years? In the reviews, are their writers, producers and directors referred to as “liberal filmmakers”? The double standards here are so obvious that pointing them out is like shooting fish in a barrel with a howitzer… but I suspect Ziegler is going to be the target of a great deal of ad hominem attack and attempts to label him out of relevance.
