New York Times chief political blogger Michael Shear is a bit annoyed that Sarah Palin is successfully attracting media attention while ignoring reporter’s inquiries and playing hide-and-seek with the press on her "One Nation" bus tour. (Photo by the Times' David Winter.) Shear, who has filed multiple blog posts on the Palin family's historical trail through the Northeast, made Tuesday’s print edition with his gripes: (Palin Family Hits Road, if Not 2012 Trail)
Ms. Palin announced her bus tour with great fanfare last week and is using it on her Web site to raise money for her political action committee. Despite that, she is acting as though her family is just like any other on vacation.
Never mind the charter bus plastered with images of the Constitution. Or the fact that her family vacation has a name: the One Nation Tour. Or that she is documenting her family’s movements on a Web site that invites Americans along. Or that she might just run for president.
Perhaps he resented following Palin over the Memorial Day holiday? Shear’s Tuesday morning "Caucus" post sounded just as sour: (Palin dismisses medias.....)

What kind of a whiner is this guy? In our family we alway's name our vacations! ASK any Shrew about "The Move". It was a classic. We should do a poll. I bet 1/2 of American's name their vacations and more do in retrospect.
This guy is just upset he didn't get asked to fill out Obama's foursome yesterday and had to cover Palin and brush up against the working class.

Sarah knows that when you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
They should get a room with perky Katy and her editors and sort it out in front of some mirrors.
Yo Michael, you blithering twit. My admiration for Gov. Palin has SOARED over her disrespect of the media.
Payback’s a bitch, ain’t it Twinkie?
I am not Sarah Palin's biggest booster, but I give her credit for having the forbearance to respond with good humor and the imagination to allow the news media to reveal themselves as the soulless camp-followers they have become.
Michael Shear is a crybaby.
I think all families should give their vacations a name. Sort of like the military naming their operations. VACATION: Big Band-Aid
“Ladies and Gentlemen, we have an emergency. Do you know these people? We understand they do not, but they are calling themselves ‘the American press.’ If you recognize them, please speak up.”
That’s actually happened. I know of one man, an exec on a plane, who had that happen to him when he complained about his seat.
Whatever happened to media boycott of all things Palin?
How’d that work out?
It seems SP is now running her own boycott and we’re seeing who gets hurt most by playing that game.
Michael, Michael, Michael ole boy...you need to get over yourself.
Left-wing political bloggers, and left-wing political bloggers for the New York Times Slimes have never treated her with anything but cold contempt. Mr. Shear finds it astounding that she returns the 'favor?
Grow up Shear! You, and your kind deserve to have the arrogance and contempt you continually show to Middle America mirrored right back at you, cubed! I don't give a damn where it was you went to take 'Marxism 101', and how long it took you to get indoctrinated. You are *not* some kind of an elite, now, in the past, or ever will be. So, have yourself a nice hot, steaming cup of STFU...

Using Michael Shear’s logic, he must be absolutely livid at the way Obama treats the press!
Why don’t the media file stories about all of the Historical sites visted by the Palins?
The paleomedia could explain why the History is such a vital part of America’s foundation
