Another reason why Palin gets a free ride:

Stenography 101: How the press let Palin and Cheney rig the system

Two points:


  • Traditionally, pundits and reporters disdain political losers (think: Mike Dukakis). But for Cheney and Palin, the rules have been generously reworked.

  • Journalists now allow Cheney and Palin to completely dictate the media ground rules and afford them the chance to have one-way relationships with the press.
Both simply speak and it's news. Both can only be considered losers(Palin lost her VP bid and Cheney well in essence lead the disastrous Bush Administration). Since when did losers get so much press? Have news organization cutbacks created such a vacuum that statements go unchallenged, reporting is dead?
