The CBS MarketWatch columnist, Jon Friedman, has posted a column that appears to have been composed in an alternate universe in an entirely different space/time continuum than ours.

MarketWatch is no longer CBS. It’s WSJ.
Gibson, as dignified a newsperson as America has now, treated Palin fairly and didn't resort to hectoring her with "gotcha" questions, either.
But Gibson didn't try to trip her up.
Gibson treated her with the respect befitting a vice presidential candidate.
Some analysts have suggested that Gibson knew more about the Bush Doctrine than the vice-presidential candidate.
Boy, is this guy sucking up hard to get invited to the next Gibson Family Barbecue.
The debates will cure any doubt about the Palin Phenomenon.
All she has to do is step up to the mic, be articulate informed and real. She wins by exceeding expectations.
BO on the other hand is cursed and burdened by the MSM trying to prop him up as THE ONE! Expectations are sky high. Those are big shoes to fill even for the most capable individual...and BO ain't any where close.
What blogs do you read?
Romenesko, Media Bistro, HuffPo, I Want Media, Jeff Jarvis, Gawker, The Borowitz Report, PaidContent and a few others.
