This is why the media hated Sarah Palin so much during her campaign to be Vice President:
she didn't go to schools that inculcate their students with
an ivory-tower sense of their graduates' being the cream of
society's crop. She represents the fact that average person can
legitimately gain political power through the democratic process
and so deflates elitism among the elite.

I think there is another reason. Big Media makes billions
selling to the most base desires in the human psyche: illicit sex,
instant gratification, becoming rich without effort, etc.

Big Media's partner is The Left, which wants the masses to insist
that the government do everything for them (no-effort success),
achieve "liberation" through anything-goes sexuality (illicit
sex) and to never have remorse or self-reflection (no self-
discipline). In this way, The Left creates a permanent
underclass whom they can manipulate at will.

Big Media and The Left want the masses to fit
into their "scientific" belief that people are merely
slightly more evolved animals. To put forth the view
that humans are the crowning achievement in God's creation
would upset their cash cow and, for The Left, their
means of achieving domination in society. Animals
cannot be held morally responsible for what they do.

So Palin represents a break from their plan: she's a
woman (with no victim mentality) who models a way
for regular folks to achieve power for the purpose,
in part, of telling the truth: that Big Media's
product is pure dreck and that more government
represents less freedom. The United States fought
a valiant and noble war of independence against
unrepresentative government in the late 18th century.
It's time to do it again.
