>>>Your list and your response indicate that you think that she is somehow not too much different than the rest, as if we're comparing apples to apples. My point is that hs'e a complete nutjob and has no point being in politics. You're completly missing the point.

>>And you missed my point that this goes on with both side of the aisle. A good majority of democrats were licking their chops waiting to "nail" Palin for something and I include you on that list. To try to pin this on her is irresponsible and stupid, and we both know that's what you were getting at.

An analysis of CNN, MSNBC and Fox News from Nov. 3 to Dec. 2, using data from ShadowTV, a monitoring service, found that CNN mentioned the name “Sarah Palin” nearly 800 times. (O.K., I had to write her name there. Sorry.) Left-leaning MSNBC mentioned it nearly 1,000 times. But Fox News, which employs her, mentioned it fewer than 600 times. (Secondary mentions like “Sarah” or “Palin” are not included in the count. Neither is “Mama Grizzly.”)

To be fair, she does make a lot of gaffes. Consequently, i would expect that her Foxnews employer would pass on those stories so story counting is not real helpful. Granted, gaffe reporting is not helpful either. But she came close to being VP, and she wont give interviews to other news organizations, excluding Barbra Walters, so i understand the coverage. If the "lamestream" media ignored her (which a lot of people are hoping), i suspect that we'd hear the other "why doesnt the media report on Palin" victim card played. Its a win / win.
