http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/11/palin_just_says_no_to_the_media_elite This time Palin stands up FOX News—yes, FOX News. And the media elite rolls right over—again. "Regardless of" Palin ducking a scheduled interview at the last minute, the FOX News anchor says, "we will still bring you the Palin event live when she starts speaking." With just 24 hours left in this campaign, it's probably a little late for the media to grow a fucking set, but... grow a fucking set already. FOX News, CNN, MSNCB, NYT, WSJ, AP, Washington Post, et al: Refusing to cover campaign events—refusing to provide airtime and print—is the only leverage you have over national...

They love campaign rallies; that's hours of airtime they don't have to line up some talking heads to fill. They're not about to give that up.

I expect she will have a huge cadre of followers by 2012, all of whom already distrust the media and have created an alternate reality. She could very well be a force to reckon with in 4 years if she can get these folks to fork over the cash. Given the success of the most outlandish tele-evangelists she shouldn't have too much trouble, there always seem to be plenty of sheep to fleece.

Palin is obligated to answer quetions. The fact that she doesn't means she arrogant as well as ignorant.
