Last night Sarah Palin appeared on Sean Hannity’s show for her first interview since the Arizona shootings. During the exchange she quoted Martin Luther King Jr. who said “A lie cannot live.” If only it were so. But as Allapundit pointed out last night, a new poll shows that this particular lie–that Sarah Palin’s Facebook map played a role in the mind of Jared Loughner–has been embraced by 56% of Democrats and 34% of Independents.
It’s pointless to blame partisans like Kos and Krugman for being partisans, but the mainstream media–the networks and major dailies–are responsible for allowing this lie to propagate unchecked. It was their job to do more than serve as a conduit for left-wing agitprop and in this instance they failed. The recent spate of death threats directed toward the targets of this media circus shows just how miserably they failed.
Since the lie persists let’s look at the truth. Here are three significant facts which–had they not been intentionally ignored or downplayed by the media–would have gone a long way toward changing those poll results.
One – Sarah Palin’s map was nothing out of the ordinary:
Two – Jared Loughner’s fixation on Rep. Giffords pre-dated the Tea Party and Sarah Palin
Three – Jared Loughner’s verifiable ideological commitments are on the left

Bottom Up, ~ Top Down, ~ Inside out…….. Really BF what you think we don't know how to read?
Or is it that you think the world is a warm fuzzy place?
Get out of your mommies basement now and then and perhaps a change of Undies may help you too.
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN ANSWER THIS B.F. THE ONLY HE GETS ANYONE TO TALK TO HIM IS WHEN HE SHOWS HIS STUPIDITY
We all know the Democrats in Congress are nuts, so what does that say about the Media that reports such trash?? And since all of them seem to dwell on BS like this one has to wonder just who owns these companies. Even though Fox news seems to be a little more fair & balanced, you have to wonder why they don't do more digging in regard to Obama. O'Reilly only made a halfass attempt, & then fell for the BS. The Liberal Democrats have gotten completely out of hand, & they don't even care. Their attitude is, if you don't like it or agree with us, too bad, we dare you to do something about it.
