Locogringo...I wonder if these obma media outlets realize they are becoming a comedy media outlet? Smart people like Sarah Palin play them like the dummies they really are? CNN Plays 'Stupid Girls' Before Story About Sarah Palin Visiting Chick-Fil-A By Noel Sheppard \| July 29, 2012 newsbusters.org Remember last November when Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) was disgracefully greeted with the song "Lyin' A-- B--ch" during her appearance on NBC's Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? On Sunday, Pink's "Stupid Girls" was played before a CNN Sunday Morning piece about former Alaska governor Sarah Palin visiting a Chick-fil-A restaurant to show support for the embattled company (video follows with transcript and commentary): [Music and lyrics]: Aha, aha. Stupid girl, stupid girls, stupid girls. Maybe if I act like that… RANDI KAYE, ANCHOR: Sarah Palin is apparently hungry for chicken and controversy. She posted this on Twitter and Facebook: “Stopped by Chick-fil-A in the Woodlands to support a great business.” That is her and her husband Todd. Chick-fil-A has come under fire after, we were just telling you, after its president Dan Cathy came out in opposition to same-sex marriage. Several communities now trying to block Chick-fil-A from coming into their cities. Fellow Republican Mike Huckabee has organized that Chick-fil-A appreciation day scheduled for Wednesday. Video.... newsbusters.org Imagine such a song being used to introduce any female Democrat. The outrage would be deafening. On the other hand, Hot Air's Jazz Shaw, who first reported the incident via Twitter, observed Sunday: [I]t’s my understanding that the hosts of these shows on the 24 hour cable news channels generally have nothing to do with the selection of the bumper music. That’s usually handled by the production staff, and a specific individual is frequently assigned to do nothing but select the musical cuts. CNN can – and probably will – easily say that it was all a coincidence and it might be hard to prove otherwise. CNN may say that, but it's no excuse for such sexism and misogyny from America's self-described "most trusted name in news." As such, will CNN and Kaye be asked to apologize? Stay tuned. ***Update I: Kaye in 2006 worried "Will Saddam [Hussein] suffer in death?" ***Update II: A CNN spokesperson told the liberal website Mediaite, “The music selection was a poor choice and was not intended to be linked to any news story. We regret any perception that they were planned together.”
