Will the media stop covering Palin completely?
Advertisements [?]
Since that question results in a flat "no," then why NOT?

The Palin camp deny press open access to her hooting and jeering klan of redneck idiots, they are denied access to the candidate to even ask routine questions at campaign stops, so why are they there AT ALL? To display the daily propaganda for the GOP?

What's the point?

Do they enjoy being used as free advertising without the possibility of actually functioning as the PRESS? Aren't they "the fourth estate?" This is pathetic.

If I were running a news organization all of her events would be blacked out until they allowed my reporters to, you know, actually REPORT on what was happening, ask questions, and engage the candidate and the crowd.

Why the media allows itself to be nothing but a megaphone for the McCain/Palin ticket is unfathomable to me.
