The Media and American's falling for Palin., Remember when Bush was "popular" too.
Just a thought. Seeing people in the media comment on Palin's popularity or how she has captivated America. I can't help but remember that long after Bush became unpopular the Media still acted like he was a well liked and respected leader.
I think as Palin's image slides, the media in general will be very slow tho realize it.

2. The media loves a personal interest, rags-to-riches story because
it means ratings. And it's a lot more economical way to fill air time than through original programming or news investigating. When they can promote their own political agenda it must be a real bonus.
The pukes timed it just right with Palin, though as we are witnessing, she lacks the credibility and personality to stay on top more than a few weeks.

3. They are slow to cancel programming.
If they cancel the "Palin is So Pretty" show they won't have anything to attract drunks and dummies to their ads.
