Today I was reading michellemalkin.com and she pointed out something that the liberal media is missing and I thought I could pass it on. The media continously questions Governor Sarah Palin’s ability to be a mother and have a career. It has been brought up that she isn’t a good mother because she is basically a working mother. Which I, of course, don’t believe. I think that she has done a fine job as a mom especially balancing being a mayor and mom then a governor and mom and hopefully the Vice President and a mom.
As Michelle Malkin points out there are several “working moms” in the media that have dedicated their lives to their jobs and have children as well. Here is the list that I found on michellemalkin.com:
Katie Couric- her husband died at a young age leaving her to be a single mother of their young children. Yet she continues her stressful career that takes up the majority of her time. It seems to me that she is more dedicated to her career than her children. But no one is calling her out are they?
Campbell Brown- Campbell is a CNN correspondant that according to Malkin, ” flew to Las Vegas last year to moderate a political debate while 8 ½ months’ pregnant. Fox News host and left-wing blogger Alan Colmes, last seen questioning Sarah Palin’s commitment to prenatal care because she worked and traveld late in her pregnancy, had no comment. When she initially left the Today Show in 2007, Brown said she was stepping down to devote more time to family and baby. She immediately turned around the next day and jumped ship to CNN, where she has anchored wall-to-wall CNN Election Center coverage and will launch a new nightly show in November.”
Meridith Viera- has a husband that has Mulitple Sclorsis and has had a couple of bouts with cancer. Viera also has 3 children at home.
These women by the standards that the liberal media are holding to Sarah Palin, shouldn’t be working either. They should be considered bad mothers because their children need them more than they should need a job. Now I personally don’t agree with the belief that these women or Sarah Palin should be at home but that is what the media is telling society. It appears that the double standards that women in the past have worked so hard to tear down still haven’t been torn down or at least those double standards exist when it is convient.
It is just fusterating to see the media bias that is going on right now. But I guess that is what keeps it interesting!
