DaveTo each their own on the debate. That's just my opinion on her performance but I still think blaming the media for this is incorrect.
The media does EVERYTHING for ratings. Everything. 99.9% of all decisions made in the business are done on that sole issue, because the better your ratings are, the better your chances are of making more dough.
Taking this into account, the media covers Palin with such a frenzy because she is someone people are curious about, someone people will stay in front of the TV set to learn about and gossip about. She's a star. She's got some skeletons in the closet. She's the Britney Spears of politics if you will (ouch I know).
Biden is not. Nobody cares what he says to be quite honest. If you looked up "Washington Politician" in the dictionary you'd see a picture of a guy that looked a lot like him... boring. Same with McCain. Forgive my language but if people cared about his wrinkly old ball bag... you's see his nuts plastered on every newspaper and media outlet across America.
Now is the media liberal in every sense of the word? Absolutely. Do they take liberties on what they report? Definitely. But if people weren't interested in her... there would be no coverage. It's not like they can talk about her record...
