Why the hell does the media love to give Abuse of Power Palin constant air time?

[bigdarryl]

WTF!!!! is it her looks or what I'm sick of seeing her. Biden gets no air time unless the media thinks he said something out of character

1. You know why.

Corporatism.

[No DUplicitous DUpe]

2. Why??? Because there are lots of questions, and so far....

not one coherent answer from the Governor.

Let her have LOTS of air time, she just reveals herself as totally clueless every time.

3. Rope.

And she's using it.

[alsame]

5. I agree. As much as I hate the sight and sound of her, the

more TV time she gets, the better for us.

[polichick]

4. Ratings - everybody loves a freak show!

[AlCzervik]

6. because it's sell more Tide. It's all about moving product.

[onenote]

7. hell, the more people see of her, the more scared they are of her

I have no problem with her getting air time

[melody]

8. Same reason they like showing those high-speed car crash shows

Grim fascination and the inability to look away.

9. Sells advertising.

Lots of people tune in to either love her or hate her.

[Impedimentus]

10. Because they want to ensure that ...

Tina Fey has plenty of material?

11. Because she sells soap

Because they are in the business of getting people to watch advertising and they need people to tune in to watch the program. And Palin is such a walking disaster that people are expecting her to stumble every time they see her. Its like watching NASCAR. No one watches to see cars go round in circles for hours on end. They watch for the crashes. So the media needs people to stay glued to the TV sets and watching in order to sell soap and pharmaceuticals. And Palin is much more interesting than Biden and easier to sell as an attention grabber.

12. Sadly, I think you are on to something,

[mokawanis]

13. Ratings

It's all that matters to some.
