Title: New Yorker article about Palin
Post by: agricola on March 03, 2005, 10:18:52 PM

This was found on my other board:

Not especially pro-Palin, but a decent read compared with the hit pieces of late.

I get the feeling a lot of us are closing the shutters when it comes to stories about Sarah Palin.  In other words, we've had enough, we've stopped listening.  I think there is a general sense growing in the country that the press has lost its audience, is no longer to be trusted, is--for better or worse--become alien and irrelevant.  This has been building but maybe the ravings of Randi Rhodes about Palin and "teenage boys" and the image of all-knowing Charlie Gibson peering so wisely down over his glasses were a point of inflection?

There's anything east of the Hudson River?
