I've never seen a presidential or vice-presidential candidate go after a media outlet like this. Palin's opened up a spigot of invective at the Los Angeles Times. It's amazingly honest and refreshing.

Why can she afford to do this? Because given the financial status of big papers, the Los Angeles Times may no longer exist in 2012.

The media are hopping mad about McCain's vice presidential selection, but they're really furious over at MSNBC. After drawing "Keith + Obama" hearts on their denim notebooks, Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews stayed up all night last Thursday, writing jokes about Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, the presumed vice presidential pick. Now they can't use any of them.

Also offering up her opinion of the pick is Gloria Steinem in today's Los Angeles Times. Gloria is unhappy and thinks America needs Sarah Palin like a fish needs a filet knife. Or something. Hurry up and read the article while the Times is still in business.
