I'd like to point out that the "media" had nothing to do with the Palin divorce story. It was strictly an Internet blogger event - until Palin's "spokesperson" stated:

Quote:
Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story.
and
Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to 'quit making things up'.
Palin, who claims to have a journalism degree, should be able to distinguish between a blogger and a journalist. She claims she wants to be left alone by the media, but she's the one who made this a MSM event with her insinuation that they were once again, "making things up."

The woman is a media ***** - she'll do anything for attention.

to be fair, she did also say something about respectable journalists leaving the story alone (without clarifying that the entire mainstream media did that).

but to call bloggers "journalists" is certainly twisting the story a bit.

Who knows....with nearly every "news" station/agency now nothing more than yellow journalism outlets, it's hard to tell what's made up and what's not.

first this leftist blogger publishes a vicious rumor; now he's whining and puling like a snot-nosed toddler over a non-existent 'threat'

"If you do not have an attorney, please let me know if you want to be served with the summons and complaint at the kindergarten where you assist or at your residence."
