1. There's a story right on the front page of their website.

This stuff isn't hard to find, folks. :)

Edit: the story is from the link at the top of the front page entitled, "Palin disclosures raise GOP vetting questions".

7. Thanks! I was thinking teevee, but even the mention of it on the web is a start.

8. I think it'll get plenty of television coverage, as well.
There's no way that Keith won't address this sooner, rather than later. It's right up his alley.

2. I think you are right that the Palin story is being covered fairly and broadly.
I think after the convention, it will even get tougher if she is still around. The media doesn't want to seem like they are "being libreral" during the republican free and good press week. They were civil for dems and want to at least appear fair.

9. CIVIL FOR DEMS???
They spent 5 out of 6 days of coverage:

1) showing clips of 68 and trying to drum up protests
2) talking about how divided the party was
3) How the delegate count might be taken over by Hillary
4) How troublesome it was that Hill and Bill might take over the convention with their speaches
5) How "risky" it was for BO to speak in in a stadium
6) How presumptious they were to have Greek Columns on the stage

It wasn't until BO ROCKED one of the all time great acceptance speeches that the MSM finally laid off.

But, they most certainly DO feel that have to be "fair" to the Rs now. You have that right.

12. I probably could have used a sarcasm with my response, but I think
all that you list is as civil as it gets.

5. MSNBC has a link to the NY Times story at the top center of the front page of their website.
Titled, "Palin disclosures raise GOP vetting questions".
