In the aftermath of the Palin email media frenzy
debacle, various media outlets who were publicly humiliated are
spinning the crowdsourcing as a
new investigative reporting technique.
The analysis of Sarah Palin’s emails over the past few days may end up teaching us more about the future of journalism than about the...
On Friday the media was in a complete frenzy to get Sarah Palin, enlisting a cast of thousands to scour the 24,000 pages of e-mails released by the State of Alaska.
As just about everyone now acknowledges, the major networks and print newspapers never devoted a fraction of the effort towards important...
There is a lot I could say about John Ziegler’s article in The Daily Caller demanding that Sarah Palin not run for President, and insisting that Palin has become beholden to an inner circle of yes-men and yes-women.
I’ll make just two points.
First, Ziegler’s main argument is that Palin cannot win because...
Rachel Maddow is the superstar of the MSNBC stable and hero of the liberal Democratic base, called the smartest and best talk show host on television..
So what did she do Friday night in the segment about the...
Instead, we get this headline from AP: Palin Slams Jane Swift In E-mails. Catfight!
Jane Swift was the former Governor of Massachusetts. I don’t think the e-mail referenced by AP fairly could be characterized as “slamming” Swift, but Palin was critical of the fact that Swift reportedly misused state funds to help...
And the whole world was watching:
Who is responsible for the failure to launch? According to
The NY
Times, Palin of course:
Another near certainty whenever Ms. Palin is involved: a media spectacle.
Like I said, it practically writes itself.

A collection of headlines from the mainstream media after a feeding frenzy to break stories regarding the 24,000+ e-mails released by the State of Alaska from Sarah Palin’s time as Governor.
The rushed headlines and analysis reveal the mainstream media desperately seeking ways to confirm its long-standing anti-Palin bile, without any time to...
Sarah has not been serious over the last couple of years. She got the vice presidential thing handed to her. She didn’t go to work in the sense of trying to gain more substance.
I get so infuriated when Republicans pile on Sarah Palin not over policy but through personal insult because these people don’t seem to understand that they are joining in a mob which eventually will come around to beat down their own favorite candidate. And as of today, it has become even more of...

An adviser to Rep. Michele Bachmann sends over this fairly ruffles-smoothing statement:“The Congresswoman has nothing but admiration and respect for Governor Palin. The two enjoy a good friendship, and Rep. Bachmann looks forward to working with the Governor for the common goal of making sure President Obama is a...
The chorus of voices pointing out the damage Ed Rollins is doing to Michele Bachmann because of the needless and damaging fight Rollins picked with Sarah Palin on h...
Without a teleprompter.
And if he gets any details wrong, or if any historian disagrees (even if many agree), he has no business being President.
The text is here, follow al...
This is a follow-up to my post yesterday,
Michele Bachmann’s First Big Mistake
– Hiring Ed Rollins, regarding Rollins out-of-the-gate
attacks on Sarah Palin:
Hiring Rollins is an enormous mistake for Bachmann. It could be campaign killing. The people who hate Palin are the same people who hate Bachmann, and no amount...
In the continuing saga, in which Palin is being savaged and mocked, please listen to this NPR interview with Robert Allison, a professor and historian at Suffolk University, in which Allison argues that while Palin may have had some details wrong, she mostly was correct about Paul Revere’s ride, including the ringing of bells...
