because they were dispatched to Alaska to dig up stuff on Sarah Palin and what they have found is NOTHING. This was said in an interview of an Alaska resident/business owner with Laura Ingraham today. I don't have a link; just heard it on the radio today when I was in the car. He said the media has been pretty friendly and talkative to the people of Alaska and said they just feel embarrassed that they are up there trying to dig up dirt on her and they get up there and don't find anything.

The media people are simply making fools of themselves, but then, they do that everyday anyways.

Just wait, the Enquirer is on there way. They will find it, and you WILL believe it.

Doesn't mean a thing - there are republicans in the media too, and I think it's pretty safe to say that anyone talking to Laura Ingraham is probably a republican...

Doesn't mean a thing because there is nothing to substantiate the yarn....it's hearsay at this point.

Sorry, inaccurately read the original post - interview w/alaskan biz owner...but that's even less credible! It wasn't even a first-hand interview so I wouldn't put much stock in it...

Do you really think the media is going to be interviewed so their employers hear them saying they are embarrassed they are doing what their employers sent them there to do?

Some might w/o names, but like I said, I misread your original post. It's even LESS credible and grasping, since it was an interview with a citizen who "heard" something a reporter complained about. What kind of interview is that? It's meaningless. I don't doubt it was said, though, and like I said originally there are republicans in the media! Of course they would feel that way if it was a republican reporter...no different than how you would feel.

Wait. You doubt there are conservative news reporters? Um...Fox...and I worked with so many conservatives when I was a reporter; there were some terrific newsroom debates rivaling this forum...
