Andrew Sullivan: How Much Should We Cover Palin? (Hates her, but admits she's the next GOP nominee)

Bernstein's rule of thumb:
She should be covered because, as a leading candidate for the Republican nomination for president, what she says is newsworthy. The same goes for the other leading candidates. They are newsworthy to the extent that they are leading candidates, and in my view editors and producers should try to assess as best they can who those leading candidates are (using polls, endorsements and comments by informed observers and participants and evidence of campaign activity).... It's hard, of course, for the press to cover a candidate who doesn't tell the truth without inadvertently just amplifying falsehoods or smear attacks, but it can't be correct to try to solve that by just ignoring her.(continued)

This is the guy who claims Trig is really Bristol's baby.

Is stalking and nonstop character assassination the definition of “coverage?”
Does Sullivan consider himself a journalist or does he just claim the title when it suits him?

Of course he hates her.
He is a gay Catholic.

In the drug-soaked mind of this sick freak, anyone who disagrees with his warped sense of reality is not “telling the truth.”

I can easily ignore lying members of the press with a political agenda.

Who gives a rats ass if they cover her or not. We know what she’s up to without any help from the state-run press.

Who the f___ is "Andrew Sullivan"? Sounds like a bitter queer...
They all hate Palin because she's gorgeous, brilliant, and can have babies.

She’s so inconsequential they can’t take their minds off her.
Its like trying to explain why they are keeping their tongue out of the hole created by a recent dental extraction.
Try as they might, they can’t leave it alone.

Yeah cuz Andrew Sullivan is the source to go to regarding who will be the next GOP nominee.
To: Gargantua
All true.
I’d love to see her as POTUS and kick butt the world over.
Actually, I’d just like to see any POTUS stand up for and defend America, freedom, reality and common sense.
