That is for sure! Very juvenile and annoying!
It is still very sad to me that Palin got such bad coverage from the media...her approval rating is 80% in the state that she governs...California's governor Schwarzenegger could learn a few things from her! and don't even start me on Illinois' governor...lol
Treat others as you would like to be treated
Horses are proof that God loves us and wants us to be HAPPY!

They viewed her as a real threat and they went after her in a BIG way. Nevermind the fact that virtually ALL of it was BS. I think it just goes to show you that the major mass media outlets have taken sides in the political party (and cultural) struggle for America. Shameful, and we now see there is a revolution going on in the News industry. The NYTs is falling on hard times, as well as a lot of other entrenched news media outlets. It's been an interesting evolution of media coverage and it will also be interesting how it evolves from here. I do think, however, that liberals have an advantage on news coverage be it print or TV as they seem to be more passionate about it. Conservatives tend to focus on, well, making this country successful and the great place that it is.

Honestly, I think it's whatever gives them the most views. The 2008 election was all about booting out an unpopular party, so the media did whatever it could do to smear the GOP. Don't be surprised after 4 years that the media starts hammering Obama if the economy doesn't turn around. The only people who don't swing sides would be the commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Keith Olbermann.
