Television show "The Good Wife" brings up Sarah Palin's name, arguably not in a good way, and Right Wing "Liberal Media Bias" fighting blog rides to her defense.

I don't watch the Good Wife so I knew nothing about this episode. That is until somebody sent me this link.

I did a Google search and the only site that seems to have noticed it, much less been offended by it, is the one whose link I was sent earlier.

Here is their take, and I warn you ahead of time they are VERY defensive about the "liberal media" and how they portray sacred cows such as Palin.

Take a look for yourself:

Some more bashing of Sarah Palin on Sunday night’s episode of CBS’s The Good Wife, but the scene also managed to deliver an illustrative dramatization of liberals in a bubble displaying arrogant condescension toward those who dare stray from liberal orthodoxy – and how they learn to despise the Fox News Channel via Jon Stewart. (I'm sorry WHOSE in the bubble?)

A couple who are old college friends of liberal lawyer “Diane Lockhart” visit and meet her fiancé, Gary Cole as Sarah Palin supporter, gun owner and ballistics expert “Kurt McVeigh.” An appalled “Francesca” despairs: “But his views, Diane. All his views. He supports Sarah Palin!”

She soon lectures, before getting cut off: “Issues matter. I know we’re all supposed to disagree and smile and go home and pretend it’s all some big tennis match, but people end up poorer, guns end up killing people. Global warming keeps destroying our-”

“Francesca,” and husband “Lyle,” played by left-wing comedian Robert Klein, meet “Lockhart” and “McVeigh” in a restaurant where they learn he owns a gun. “Francesca” exclaims: “So you don’t think Sandy Hook changed anything?”

Later, at the apartment of “Lockhart,” played by Christine Baranski, “Francesca expresses her disgust with how her soon-to-be-husband likes Palin. “Lockhart,” a fan of Hillary Clinton’s, laughs as she acknowledges, “I fell in love with a Palin supporter.”

To which “Lyle,” just after grabbing hold of Sarah Palin’s book, Going Rogue, on a bookshelf, scolds: “It’s not funny, Diane. Did you see her? She’s back on Fox.”

“Lockhart” points out: “Oh, you don’t watch Fox.” “Lyle” counters, showing where liberals learn about FNC: “They show clips on Jon Stewart.” (Which really is the place that MOST intelligent Americans see clips from Fox News by the way.)

Apparently this is not the first time this show has received backlash from the Right Wing and Palin-bots before for naming the pro-Palin character "McVeigh."

(Can't imagine why that would bothered them.)

Anyhow I watched the clip and found nothing controversial about it at all. That is the same type of conversation that has been happening around the country ever since Snowdrift Snooki first burst onto the national stage.

Of course what do I know? After all I am pretty sure I am counted among the "liberal media bias" that this website is railing against.

And proudly so might I add.
