As I scour the internet for the stories flying under the radar, the web videos you should see, and the tweets making news, I frequently come across stories about, referring to, or generated by Sarah Palin. My intent is not to run a blog devoted to Palin news 24/7, however some stories are more avoidable than others. I've received some comments from readers (much appreciated by the way) asking why I devote so much time to her...so I'm turning to you....
Should the Palin/Johnston/Bristol news stop all together? Should there be some kind of weekly limit to the number of stories? Let me know what you think!
I think the level is about right espec with Sarah trying to be a kingmaker and Levi running for office.
ReplyDeleteI think it's too much coverage. It's turned into a tabloid story instead of a news story. Let it stay where it belongs - in the National Enquirer !
ReplyDeleteThose stories are cute/funny sometimes, but they can be annoying too. I'd hate to see those stories go the way of the Dodo, but I don't like to be constantly bombarded by stories about Sarah et al, either.
ReplyDeleteI suggest you do a "This week in the Palin Adventures" bit for couple of minutes one day per week.
PS: The Readout is one of my favorite segments in the Press Pool. You and Joe are a good team (and Louise, too)
I say limit the amount of Palin stories posted. For me, Palin is in the same category with Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck - more entertainment than news. The spot about Levi Johnston was interesting and relevant as it was politically relevant - but who really cares where Bristol is speaking?
ReplyDeleteI kind of like the idea of a "This Week in Palin-land." Joe's out this week, so I'll be talking to Louise Schiavone in the afternoons, but we're going to give it a shot this week.
ReplyDeleteI agree, a once a week roundup of the Palin soap opera is more than enough for me. Thanks for caring!
