The new documentary on how the media torpedoed Sarah Palin is available here. I just saw the producer on TV - what a D*ck. Anyway, take a look if you so desire.
Fox is still the #1 cable network, right? I understand that their argument includes NBC/ABC/CBS in the "liberal media" ... however, the producer also includes SNL, Daily Show and Colbert Report as "the media" b/c many people get their news there ... and he said on TV just now (I quote) that American's "are too stupid" to know the difference between comedy and news. Really? Maybe those stupid Americans would like to be enlightened with a nice documentary.
To boot - I'll leave alone any thoughts on why political parody actually does a better job of making points and covering the news than the traditional 6 o'clock news does. I'll also leave alone any arguments concerning (1) Palin's own hand in making her a comedic hit; and (2) Obama's duckback (the way insults/comedy rolled off) .

I saw that dude on Morning Joe. He was a super-dick! He kept plugging his website until Scarboro called him out on it. He was real defensive and hunched over the table yelling at Mika...that's no way to sell a documentary.
