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?
