Clear And Present Danger To The American Left




Great article, as usual, by my main gal, Peggy Noonan. She is direct and to the point in regards to the McCain campaign and Palin. My favorite part...


This is true: fact is king. Information is king. Great reporting is what every honest person wants now, it's the one ironic thing we have less of in journalism than we need. But reporting that carries an agenda, that carries Bubblehead assumptions and puts them forth as obvious truths? Well, some people want that. But if I were doing a business model for broadsheets and broadcast networks I'd say: Fact and data are our product, we're putting everything into reporting, that's what we're selling, interpretation is the reader's job, and think pieces are for the edit page where we put the hardy, blabby hacks.


That was a long way of saying: Dig deep into Sarah Palin, get all you can, talk to everybody, get every vote, every quote, tell us of her career and life, she may be the next vice president. But don't play games. And leave her kid alone, bitch.

Apparently she got caught making a comment into a live mike today, to the effect that the McCain campaign was "over"... then she sent out a statement correcting her comment...
