Right. People think that that the media has 2 choices with Sarah and Christine - praise and trash. Ignore is the 3rd option.
People say “oh, if the media spent the time praising Sarah and Christine instead of trashing them, they’d be more popular.” Yes. But why would they do that? The media tries to get Democrats elected.
What they easily could’ve done is ignore Palin. Talk about Palin as little as possible. All the attacks from the media only serve to raise Palin up as the opposition to them.
You mean the GOP candidate for vice president of the United States? You mean after the election, allowing her the space to build her place as the new super star of the GOP and simply cover her like they do democrat politicians of that stature and letting her pace her own image, at her own rate, for instance staying in office in Alaska rather than having to devote 24 hours a day in the lower 48, to saving her political future from this incredible, non stop, media assault?
Bad publicity, negative name branding, and radicalizing their image and positions, does not help a candidate running for president.
Do you really not know about Dan Quayle?
