Why The Hell Is Media STILL Coverning Palin's Rallies? She Still Hasn't Held A Press Conference

Edited on Mon Oct-06-08 09:25 AM by cryingshame

I am sick of hearing about her rallies and knowing they are being shown on tv.

If she doesn't hold press conferences, the Media is ethically obligated to stop showing her rallies.

I am getting really pissed.

3. K&Red for truth. Another example of how our mainstream media fails to do its job.

You'd think after the Iraq War debacle, they would've learned something about demanding accountability and asking hard questions, but it's obvious they've learned nothing at all.

5. Because she has become a curiosity and ....

at this point, even a pop culture phenomenon to many. She's wierd and whacky and to the media that translates into ratings.

These rallies are the only way the media can capture the trainwreck that is sarah palin. They know full well they will not get the opportunity to have another sit down interview with her. I think this is the stategy of the mccain campaign as well. Put her out there to spew rw talking points and hold pep rallies til the election.

6. But she's a Maverick! Everyone was dressed in red, white, or blue, and they...

were seated to create an American flag effect behind her (in one of the two rallies).

It's her Pep Squad and she's Squad Leader! Whoo Hoo!

I guess that show's that they're "more American" than we are.

Of course all the shirts were made in China.....
