Inside Sarah Palin's Inner Circle - The Palin Network
I didn't see any link at DU to this yet. I could be wrong. This is a long article.

Inside Sarah Palin's Inner Circle

The Palin Network

By ROBERT DRAPER
Published: November 17, 2010

....
Sarah Palin’s withering regard for the media co-exists with the fact that Sarah Palin is a media sensation. Throughout this year’s midterm cycle, no one commanded as much free time on the air as Palin, who of course wasn’t running for office herself. Her mere presence or nonpresence at various campaign events — or the distance that wary Republican candidates kept from her — routinely eclipsed whatever else took place at the events themselves. Concurrently, Palin’s denunciations of the Obama White House via Twitter garnered substantial attention not because the opinions were especially novel but because they were expressed with the brashness of a wily headline-grabber. All of this in addition to the fact that Palin, a former journalism major and sportscaster, happens to be a member of the media herself: a salaried Fox News contributor, the star of her own television series and a best-selling author whose second book, “America by Heart,” will be released by HarperCollins this week with a first printing of 1 million copies and her pick of promotional slots offered up by her adversaries in the press.
....

Robert Draper is a contributing writer for the magazine and the author of “Dead Certain: The Presidency of George W. Bush.”

2. WHY does the media constantly report on every utterance, every tweet, every facial expression of....
....this woman. I am sick of hearing, seeing, reading about her vacuous statements.
