What happened, has she gone galt?
I THINK, Governor Palin views press interviews as something of a business transaction. She now has value. Any interview is a ratings getter. She is going to determine who trades on that value and on what terms. Tell me what other politician can say that.
What of Fox? They were ticked she didn't give them a heads up to her fair appearance. She gets paid to perform a service. Obligation ends there. Fox has no more right to trade on her value than any other media does.
She has said she will not waste her time on media types who are not interested in a healthy exchange of ideas. I say, More Power to Her.
