An interesting dynamic may be developing with Gov Palin. She is drawing incredibly large crowds and developing a following independent of the MSM. They are going around the MSM like no other candidate I can recall. They don't need the media as much as the media needs them. Access to these candidates means ratings. NBC, CNN and ABC have already ensured a more limited access to Palin and McCain. I'll be interested to see if the other outlets chose profits over partisanship and agree to reasonable sitdowns.

Palin's been getting some fair treatment from Entertainment Tonight and Rachel Ray lately.

Granted, they mostly talk about clothes and shoes, but they seem to know who their audience is, and which side their bread is buttered on.

There were no place for Reagan to go around them.

So he went OVER them.
