Rocky Mountain News shows more left bias
Here we go again. Yet another left slanted story out of the RMN. This time it points out a fact of fund raising that the left has been congratulated on and praised. The story in reference is titled
"Palin's coffee chat requires lots of green ."
This story written by Sara Burnett, clearly has an anti republican slant and conservative note. Complaining that because a $1000.00 donation gets you coffee, $2500.00 gets you a coffee and a picture with Gov. Palin , then a donations of $25,000.00 gets breakfast with the candidate.
I will agree that this is ridiculous in the money amount but It is nothing new. Remember that Obama's recent Hollywood dinner with the stars was a $30,000.00 plus contribution to attend with additional charges to listen to Streisand sing.
Comments that followed this story are deplorable and I would call plants for Obama. An example of this is:

25k to have coffee with the VP nominee, yet McCain wants to post-pone the debates due to the wall street financial crisis... Laughable, Republicans.

So what!! I think for the most part people are finally starting to realize that Palin is inexperienced, has no Foreign Policy experience, has lied numerous times to the public and is in HOT WATER with the Trooper Gate Investigation. I think Palin will not be on the VP ticket come October!!! The Republicans are looking very desperate now!!!
Notice the same tired talking points, the hypocrisy of only the left can collect these funds but it is elitism for the republicans too. Now lets look at the story.

Gov. Sarah Palin's private fundraiser next month at Centennial Airport will include a $25,000-per-person "VIP coffee" with the Republican vice presidential candidate.
The McCain-Palin Victory 2008 Breakfast is scheduled for Oct. 4.
It's $1,000 per person for breakfast, according to the invitation.
For $2,500 per person, the donor also will get a photo taken with Palin.
The VIP coffee, scheduled to begin a half-hour before the breakfast, requires the donor to contribute or raise $25,000.
The fundraiser will mark Palin's third trip to Colorado since winning her party's nomination.
She joined Sen. John McCain for a rally in Colorado Springs after the Republican National Convention, and she appeared by herself last week at a rally in Jefferson County.
McCain, who announced Wednesday that he is suspending advertising, fundraising and other campaigning to return to Washington to deal with the country's economic crisis, is not scheduled to appear with Palin next weekend.
So yes it will cost a lot of green for the chance to meet Gov. Palin, yet the title is misleading towards the story. It purposely slants the readers opinion before the story is read. For a fair story there should have been comparisons made to the left and the money tat they charge for their fund raisers.
