Since when is it a reporter's job to advertise a politically motivated campaign to halt coverage of a political figure?
When? When a reporter for a mainstream media outlet does it. Reporters and their editors decide what to cover--and what not to cover. What they publish becomes "the news." Usually this goes on behind the scenes in the newsroom or in a Journolist-like gathering. So it is nice to at least see it done openly. But is this really journalism?
Fascinating.
Dana Milbank wants Palin. But only part of the time. He wants her--if he can keep her in line.
