Why does MSM give the half-term governor a free ride?
If Howard Dean or virtually any other Democratic voice wants to be heard, they appear on Meet the Press or Face the Nation or they agree to be interviewed by some other network "analyst". They are, of course, subjected to unscripted questions, follow-ups and, often, blatantly hostile cross examination.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, refuses such interviews. She restricts her courageous, star-spangled non sequiturs to a few (likely ghost-written) tweets and a few Facebook spewings. No one can question her. No one can point out the flaws or weaknesses in her nonsensical and grammatically-challenged posts. Of course, these avenues of communication severely limit how many people actually read her pearls of fizzdom.

Not to worry! Each evening, the MSM---even MSNBC---rides to her rescue. They broadcast all of her "cute" and "witty" down-home-isms to the nation at large.

"Lordy, Ethel! What will that gal from Alaska say next? Hee-Hee! That'll show those damn liberal smarty-pants media clowns!"

If you tilt your tinfoil hat JUST RIGHT, you might pick up a little corporate media bias in this.
