http://news.yahoo.com/lamestream-media-defends-palin-093100032.html

They kicked her around, victimized her, tried to destroy her. But all of a sudden, the lamestream media is coming to Sarah Palin’s defense.

Faced with a barrage of negative portrayals — a much-hyped investigative book, a Levi Johnston memoir and a new movie — Palin is finding support in the unlikeliest of places.

Film reviewers have slammed the British documentary “Sarah Palin: You Betcha!” Newspapers have refused to run comic-strip excerpts of Joe McGinniss’s rumor-mongering tome “The Rogue.” Johnston’s accusations have been consigned to the gossip pages. And none other than The New York Times has angrily taken Palin’s side in a brutal takedown of the McGinniss book.

Reviewer Janet Maslin called “The Rogue” a work of “caustic, unsubstantiated gossip,” accusing its author, who rented a house next door to the Palins for a time, of sloppiness, attention seeking and a lack of neighborliness.

“‘The Rogue’ is too busy being nasty to be lucid,” Maslin concludes, describing its many accusations as “indefensibly reckless.”

This might be wierder.

Status: offline 		The "jornalist`s" primary job is credibility and getting the story right.And with ease.


If he/she can`t do that straight off,right away,they aren`t doing their jobs.

It isn`t up to us (or the Palins in this case)to prove them wrong.

They,have the burden of proof.

It`s the author who must be convincing and have their homework done.

This is trash-abloid-sexy-story-meaningless-bullshit.

There`s just nothing there cept some guy who claims he did her years ago.Big fuck`n whoop.

This book was meant to harm and demean and make money from salacious ~sheck-schay~ rumors.

This time,with this "author",she is being victimized.With this "book",that isn`t a hard argument to make.

Weeeeelll... Iffn she didn't advocate abstinence, maybe it wouldn't be noteworthy. But given her public stance, pre-marital interracial sex is something to consider when evaluating her credibility.

which is NONE.
I have no desire to fill my brain with "her" bad or "self indulgent"

Not to be nitpicky but why does it matter if pre marital sex is interracial or not?

It does if you promote yourself to a base of racist rednecks...

Fine. Let's hear a credible explanation of how someone goes into labor in Texas, and then hops a few airline segments back to Buttfuck, Alaska in order to deliver a baby...

Personally, until I see some birth certificates, I don't buy the story...
