Sarah Palin Continued
Based on our class discussion yesterday, I thought I might point you toward two editorials I read this morning. The first is by Jack Shafer, and he writes about the media and the "appropriateness" issue we discussed in class. The URL for his piece is http://www.slate.com/id/2199121/. The second editorial is by Bonnie Fuller, who argues that Palin is exploiting her daughter's pregnancy and is forcing her to have a shotgun wedding. The URL for that piece is http://www.huffingtonpost.com/bonnie-fuller/sarah-palin-she-has-chose_b_123282.html. Please feel free to respond to either, or both, of these editorials on the blog. See you tomorrow.

this article made me smile. when refering to the press being starved for new stories, the writer of the article said the press finally "scented the lard-fried snicker bar that was palin." haha. i just thought he made this article entertaining to read. and concerning the "appropriatness" of looking into politicians lives, i found it refreshing that he said to him it is all fair game. i partially agree only to the extent that they know what they are getting into so poloticians should not be shocked or alarmed that they are their personal lives are all over the new. anyway, thanks for the post daniel.
