On the Dallas Morning News‘ Trail Blazers blog, Karen Brooks shares an e-mail she received from the McCain/Palin camp “mere seconds after last night’s debate.” The receipt of which prompted from Brooks a rather vigorous defense of her and her colleagues (or, as Palin refers to them in the message “[Obama-Biden Democrats’] allies in the liberal media”):
I said it about Clinton when she was moaning about media coverage, I said it about Obama when he was moaning about media coverage (and YES, we are the reason you know about Wright and Rezko so don’t even give me any flack about how we never covered that), and I’ll say it about Sarah Palin now.
We’re not going to stop asking the hard questions, whether you like it or not. Period. The media is NOT going to go easy on you because you’re a woman, or because you’re a man, or because you’re black or because you’re white, or because you’re new to all this is or because you’ve already been through the media wringer, or because you’ve got a Northern accent or because you’ve got a Southern drawl, or because you shoot moose or because you’re a vegetarian, for cryin out loud.
Sorry. Not gonna happen, no matter how much you beg and plead and point the finger and try to blame the media for your PR problems. This is nothing new. We get screamed and hollered at by people of both parties ALL. THE. TIME.
There. That should rile up some of you. Well played, Karen.
