The lamestream media told you:

"Is Caroline Kennedy qualified to be the next Senator from New York, when Hillary takes a post as Secretary of State with Obama?" asked CNN, repeatedly, night after night.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Showing no hint of restraint or neutrality, CNN is actively campaigning for Caroline Kennedy. It's repeated broadcasts, complete with dynamic footage of the neophyte on stages, perfectly quaffed and made up, has repeated her name non-stop, while asking "the" question (is she qualified?) of no other contender. In fact, the chances that anyone following CNN can name another contender are tiny, since CNN rarely mentions the two dozen other people who are seeking the job.

Whether CNN's disgusting abuse of its broadcast license to campaign for a candidate will get the candidate appointed (elections are over) is unknown at press time.

Describing Sarah Palin, Michael Gormley of the AP, says, "She messed up her first interviews, didn't show much of a grasp of the issues, and had a speech pattern that was widely mimicked." He goes on to note, with surprising candor, that this also describes Ms. Kennedy. Unlike Palin, Caroline receives gushing praise instead of critique, despite endless "you know," and "um" when she opens her pie hole. AP attributes the difference in coverage to their backgrounds (Alaska vs. Manhattan), class differences, "urban-centric elitism" vs. rural roots, running for VP instead of the Senate, being more in tune with the media (for Kennedy), but not bias.
