Journalism? Oh yes, my grandfather used to tell us kids about the days when they had something called journalism.

Head's up to the latest lib strategy...

Also keep in mind that February is Iron Dog month in Alaska, and so Sarah and Todd will probably be occupied with the race, and so when the libs eventually crow about their success in ignoring her, they'll still be whistling in the wind.

These left wing media organizations go out of their way to cover everything and anything to do with Sarah Palin in an effort to discredit her and derail any chance that she may run for president. Ironically; it has all had the opposite effect. She went from being an obscure governor in Alaska, to a major player on the national stage (not to mention enjoying a hefty increase in her net worth).

They must have finally come to the realization that their non-stop, 2-year campaign of hatred against Sarah Palin has backfired on them so they want to try the opposite approach of ignoring her. Highly unlikely. They are like spoiled, jealous school girls who can't stand the fact that the object of their hatred is impervious to their smears and propaganda. I give them 3 days before someone does a story on Sarah Palin. A negative one, of course, but this is to be expected from the left.

Sarah should go on a BLITZKRIEG! Oh... sorry...too offensive!

*Feigning indignant, professional reporter outrage*

Being sorry for your violent hate speech isn't enough!

Good luck with that. It's telling a starving lion to take lamb off its menu. There is a force of nature at play here that, for once..the social engineers cannot control.

I would like to see more conservatives not subscribe to mainstream newspapers. I know people who still subscribe because of sports coverage.

Wouldn't that be the finest bit of irony ever? And perhaps the funniest.......

That’s funny. They spent the last 2-1/2 years obsessing over her and now they are going to boycott her.

Does this mean a pause in the highly biased and unprovoked attacks? I think not since the article proclaiming the Palin free month was, itself such an attack.

I wonder if these orders came from the top (1600 Pennsylvania Ave). It will be worse than quitting smoking for the MSM to stop trashing this good woman. She should post or say something to test their blackout. :)

It’s great that they are doing this actually as 100% of what they write about her is shiite.

I think if the MSM boycotts Sarah Palin, it will indeed be a blessing. THey will have to go after real news instead of just slandering her day after day. Let her have a few days without the hostile glare of the libbie left. They are pouting off in a snit, thinking they run the show. They do not. They do not control Sarah Palin, they do not control her popularity, they do not control how much publicity she gets. They only control how much BAD publicity she gets.

Kiss off, MSM.

“The link generates a message to be sent from a Twitter member’s page that reads, “I’m making February a Palin-free month. Will you join me?””

Answer: No, we won’t join you. Starting on January 20, 2013, President Palin will be inaugurating a number of so-called “months”. Every one of those 96 months will be inter alia a “socialism free”, “political correctness-free” and “corruption-free” month. And unlike Reagan, she will pass the torch to a worthy successor who will not squander her achievements.

So, prepare for a lot of “free” months, Dana Milbank. Rather than list all of the freedoms she will restore and reinvigorate (I would suggest you refer to the Constitution, but...that would be asking too much), let’s just call those 96+ months after January 2013 the “Palin Era”, the era of freedom.

LOL! Poor, poor, WaPoo. Perhaps they should adopt a slogan:

All the opinion that's fit for our bias.
