Washington Post Organizes News Boycott of Sarah Palin; Starts Twitter Campaign Against GOP Star

Maybe if they close their eyes and wish her away she will disappear.

This is the intellectual equivalent of hiding under the bed.

“Maybe if they close their eyes and wish her away she will disappear.”

If this mindless endeavor is deemed successful (whether via subsidy or other insanity) then I look forward to “Tornado Free” weather reporting. And July’s “Crime Free” month.

This non-reporting trend dovetails well with the increasing need for advertising space to compensate for falling subscription counts.

And not reporting real news leaves more time to report manufactured news. Such as the Tuscan / TEA party connection.

I read the column by Milbank.

This doesn’t look like a boycott by the Washington Post. It looks like a boycott by columnist Dana Milbank (who happens to write for the Washington Post).

I doubt that WaPo, in general, will stop writing about Palin come February 1, and I doubt that very many will join in Milbank’s boycott. However, we’ll find out soon enough. February is only nine days away.

The issue isn’t Milbank’s opinion. It is the Washington Post using their resources to facilitate and promote a political campaign against Sarah Palin.

[EveningStar]

The whole MSM has been doing that since day one.

If the Post is really inventive they could come up with just a symbol for Sarah Palin, kind of like the singer Prince did once. That way they wouldn't have to ever mention her name again. President (symbol inserted here).

I’d be interested in watching her give a response to the SOTU address. I don’t plan on watching it.

[Jimmy Valentine]

You are right on all counts.

The Washington Post along with the New York Times is in a death spiral.

In less than five years they will no longer exist.

[BuddhaBrown]

“...they could come up with just a symbol for Sarah...”

The Executive Crosshair formerly known as Sarah.

“The Washington Post along with the New York Times...will no longer exist.”

I’ll admit that I sense a near sinful tingle in my Chrissy parts when I observe a flailing leftist drowning in pity and begging for attention to his plan of denying attention to news.

Brilliant.

Gosh, these people are insane. How pathetic is this?
