So, what's your point?
My "point" is three-fold. First, it's clear from the headlines I posted that those same media long knives are out for Trump, too. I think it's also instructive to examine why Trump has (perhaps momentarily) broken through and Palin hasn't. Trump's media skills are exponentially greater than Palin's.
Where Trump isn't only not afraid to engage a hostile interviewer, he seems to relish it. Palin, not so much. In fact, she won't go on a show that isn't hosted by FNC. That says something.
My last point is that there are a half-dozen Republican candidates that would like just a fraction of the media buzz that has been bestowed on either Trump or Palin - Pawlenty would push his own mother down a flight of stairs if he thought it could get him a page 1 headline, just for a day. It wouldn't.
The media loves a good circus. Trump is just another side-show act in that big, media circus.
