This is really quite hilarious. She is giving them little to no information about her bus stops, plans, intentions and they can't stand it. No one is supposed to treat them this way!

Political reporters have fanned out from Antietam to Gettysburg on Sunday afternoon in anticipation of her next potential stop. Congratulations, Sarah Palin, you have turned the Washington press corps into a bunch of paparazzi stalking your every move.

As Palin moves up the East Coast, ending her trip in politically important New Hampshire, the press seems poised to follow.
They're so, so confused!

For supporters and reporters looking for more details, Palin isn’t providing them. Palin’s staff has been unresponsive to reporters’ requests or told them to check the SarahPAC website, which updates with information only after she’s stopped somewhere.
Maybe this is the point, idiot. She doesn't want the media following her, that is pretty clear.

I can just see the media, getting out their maps to check for national historically significant spots up and down the eastern seaboard, trying to pinpoint her next stop.

She's a cat toying with them like a mouse. I think it's hysterical.

I don't think all those AP reporter types as grads from Columbia, Harvard, Yale will be checking out any historical sites along her bus trip. Looking at a map, they wouldn't know what state they were in let alone what highway she might be traveling. And they'd have to do a google search first to find any historical sites.

The New York Times stumbles over itself trying to point out what a farce Palin's bus tour is, without
able to quite bring itself to say that.....

They're obviously going for the "Oh wow! Sarah Palin's riding a motorcycle! Ain't she something else?"

...I believe it might be an attempt to identify the fact she made a dramatic enterance as a possible contender for the 2012 elections...

Again...what's bias about this? Do you think the Herald is throwing it's support to Sarah Palin?

When you say "the media" in the OP are you including the mainstream media which would be Fox News?
