Just as a new Rasmussen survey was released showing that 51% of likely voters believe that the media has tried to hurt Republican Vice President nominee Sarah Palin with false media reports, yet another attack on Palin was released yesterday by CNN, the Huffington Post, and many bloggers: The assertion that Palin acted as Governor of Alaska to “slash” educational funding for special needs kids by as much as 62%. (The media claims varied from 38% to 62%.)Except, as revealed by the ultra left blog the Daily Kos the report is a blatant lie.
The reality is that funding for special needs children never significantly decreased under Governor Palin’s administration.
Moreover, Palin signed a bill into law that will dramatically INCREASE funding for special needs kids in Alaska from $26,900 per student to $73,840 per child beginning in fiscal year 2011.
Clearly, for their own reasons, the media is anxious to bring Palin down.
Nevertheless, as the Rasmussen poll shows, these false attacks have been so transparently motivated that a majority of American voters are now rallying around Palin. 24% of respondents in the Rasmussen poll stated they were more likely to vote for Palin as a result.
This blatant media bias must stop. And if candidate Obama fails to denounce these vicious false media attacks, then the American people are free to draw their own conclusions. Apparently, they already have.
