Amazing how quickly the media grew a pair!

Calling Palin on her lies, laughing off the McCain camp's fake "lipstick" outrage claims... man, it feels good to be on the right side of the media for a change!

I think their snubbing of Larry King and the Palin media black out REALLY cheesed the media off! Of course I don't expect it to last forever, but in the short term, boy is it sweet!

1. They will do this until the McCain campaign tells them to back off again

They will be told that they are too hard on her or that their comments ar sexist.

3. Ask Hillary how that worked out

I don't recall them ever letting up. You can play the refs a little but McCain stepped over the line one too many times. They feel they made him and that they can tear him down.

7. Remember, The media has loved to hate Hillary since her 1st Lady days

They have hated her since Gingrich's Contract on America made it popular to hate the Clinton's.
The GOP has the media by the balls and will squeeze when necessary to control them.

8. Don't think so with Palin

She's obnoxious and hiding from them. With Hillary it was a love/hate relationship. Hillary had a schizofrenic relationship with the press. When the media smells blood in the water they go in for the kill.

2. Maybe seeing what happened to Keith and Tweety made them realize that McCain's campaign

isn't returning the favor?
