I cannot figure out why this context was not provided. It is clear that Governor Palin did not cut funding. It cannot be a cut in funding when you get a raise, even if the raise was not as great as originally contemplated.

It’s called liberal media bias. The headline on the article was misleading, saying that Alaska liberalized its abortion laws on “Governor Palin’s watch,” while it was the state Supreme Court that liberalized the laws over the Governor’s objections. If the headline was misleading (in fact, out-and-out false), is it any wonder that there would be misrepresentations of fact within the article itself?
The news media’s treatment of Governor Palin makes me ill. I wonder if Senator Obama’s “slip of the tongue,” referring to his Muslim religion on “This Week,” will get any coverage from the MSM.
