The Washington Post is engaging in online political activism by encouraging its readers to boycott news coverage of Sarah Palin.
The Post has picked up the call initiated this morning by Post columnist Dana Milbank, adding a Twitter link on the column page. 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?”
The Post added the Twitter link to Milbank’s column this afternoon, several hours after running and pulling a Washington Post online poll about boycotting Sarah Palin news coverage. The poll initially accompanied The Post’s Milbank op-ed but was pulled within hours of publication at WashingtonPost.com.

Journalism? Oh yes, my grandfather used to tell us kids about the days when they had something called journalism.
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.
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.
*Feigning indignant, professional reporter outrage*
Being sorry for your violent hate speech isn't enough!
As soon as they start this “Sarah Free” month Sarah should announce her run...LOL
I call Karma!/s
Sounds good to me.
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.
The Washington comPost:
A fully pwned subsidiary of Obama Crescent and Star Enterprises.
Wonder if they will ignore the innaugeration?
Pray for America
:-)
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.
