Two opposing sides of an issue always see different things when discussing an issue. If Mother Jones is used to understand what happened in the VP debate, then you are going to get a very different story than you are when reading The American Spectator.
Mother Jones discussed how everyone was waiting for Sarah Palin to sound like a complete moron and make a significant blunder, but ended up holding her own in the debate. Palin has stopped being an ulcer to McCain's campaign and now all of the media is centered on McCain. They also discussed how Palin agrees with VP Cheney and wants to give more power to the Vice President. Isn't it convenient that the Republican decision for VP wants to give the Vice President more power? They discuss how Biden has a stronger grasp on the issues, but Palin has a style that let her connect to the average American. The debate was basically an equal praisal of their running mates which really didn't change anyone's viewpoint.
The American Spectator chose to focus on how Palin did a good job in the debate while not really discussing Biden. It discussed how the VP debate doesn't really solve anything, but other than that didn't really talk about the issues at all. The article thought that it was wise of Biden not to attack Palin directly and said that he was wise for treating her differently because she was a woman. That is an interesting way to look at the debate. The American Spectator is extremely slanted towards Palin and seems to let her get away with not knowing about certain issues just because she is the Alaskan govenor. Is it fair to make excuses for the next possible Vice President? Why should we treat Palin differently than any other politician?
Look at how differently the two sides look at things. This really shows why we shouldn't believe every work we read. Every American should make their own judgements when voting for the next President.
