Sarah Palin's Big Problem With 'Gotcha' Journalism: It's Actual Journalism
Make the meanies go away

... Ethical journalism, by Palin's definition, does not include being asked what magazines she reads, being asked for clarification about how Russia's proximity to Alaska makes her experienced in foreign policy, or being asked to name one other Supreme Court decision aside from Roe v. Wade. (Um, at least know Brown v. Board of Education.)

And so continues Palin's ignorance:

"I'm going to take those shots and those pop quizzes and just say that's okay, those are good testing grounds. And they can continue on in that mode. That's good. That makes somebody work even harder. It makes somebody be even clearer and more articulate in their positions. So really I don't fight it. I invite it."

It's no wonder a good chunk of America will be watching tomorrow's VP debate at a viewing party, because it's surely gonna be one ...

2. The problem is the republicans have enjoyed a complacent media
And as soon as the media started to half way do their jobs, the republican, mainly McCain and Palin started to cry wolf.

It wasn't supposed to be like this, the media isn't doing what the republican machine expects them to do.
