GLOBAL PULSE: Sarah Palin - Media Victim or Campaign Weapon? (9/04/2008)

(September 4, 2008) The Republican National Convention became the coming out party for Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska as John McCain's vice presidential nominee. A storm of worldwide negative media coverage scrutinizing every controversial detail of her life at times felt like a soap opera. Now, as the media are portrayed as the bad guys, many speculate it was all a part of McCain's grand campaign strategy.

Bad reporting from people who just don't want any more from Republicans, justified or not. You say "People say they've been piling on!" and then you pile on. And why can't you find independent, unbiased sources?! FOX News and Halperin from Time Magazine? Why didn't you just get commentary from President Bush and Bill Clinton?
