Creative Minority Reader: ABC News: Sarah Palin is Barbie

The woman rose from nothing to become Mayor, Governor, and most recently a Vice Presidential candidate but the media continues to paint her as a Barbie doll. But truth has nothing to do with how the media treats Sarah Palin. Newsbusters has the story:

"Nightline" reporter David Wright on Monday inserted a gratuitous slam of Sarah Palin into a seemingly innocuous segment covering the 50th anniversary of the Barbie doll. Recounting the various versions of the Mattel toy, he set up the attack: "[Barbie's] been an astronaut and a rock star. Pop icons Beyonce and Shakira. She's won 'American Idol' too." Right after footage of the "President Barbie" doll appeared onscreen, the segment cut to various clips of a stylish-looking Palin. Wright derided, "Some would argue she also ran for vice president in 2008."
