Potential first lady Cindy McCain recently came to the defense of Gov. Sarah Palin claming that the media had been too harsh, unfairly criticizing the vice presidential nominee.
The usually poised, Barbie-like McCain showed a different personality with CNN’s Larry King commenting that Palin was not to blame for the poor ratings of the Republican Party, but rather the media.
Unfortunately, in a world where the peoples opinions are influenced by Saturday Night Live sketches and You Tube clips, the “Queen of Beers” is absolutely right on this one.
The Tina Fey/Palin sketch boosted SNL ratings to the highest in 14 years! The problem is it contributed to the overall attitude towards the hockey which trickled down to highlight clips and commentaries from CNN, FOX, and many other major broadcasters. In this day in age, SNL can make or break anyone.
Aside from being ridiculously stunning for her age, it is great to her that Cindy McCain also understands the powerful role that even comedic media plays in shaping our political landscape.

The media, especially SNL, was definitely way to harsh on Sarah Palin. She has been the laughing stock for the past 3 months, they need to back off her!
I agree with Lacey, although Palin put herself out there on SNL. I feel more sorry for Palin's family and the things that have been said about them.
I agree with lace, yes the media is the communication to the public and they public deserves a right to know but they are way to harsh on her. It is ok to bash and make fun of all candidates which has been happening in our country since the media was able to but they beed to back off. Ifeel sorry for Palin and her family
