I don't think she missed the point. Illustrating the way the media will ignore an important story by trumpeting one that isn't noteworthy required an example. If you looked for CNN coverage of this the next day, you got the "Jason breaks his toes while racing" story. That's all Malkin was doing, though she took time to poke some well deserved fun at Priestly, too. He is a washed up has been and a typical liberal airhead "celeb". The rest of her story was right on target, IMO.
The root of the problem is that the media ignored the story in the first place, which Priestly plays absolutely no part in, washed-up or not. CNN fills a lot of their airtime with what FReepers could call 'non' news items. The real problem is with the PC reporting, which many dont even listen to. In this day and age, when many are concerned about the security of our border, ignoring this story is inexcuseable; it should be the media's bread and butter. Priestly is irrelevant, and should remain so. Just my opinion...JFK
This is the same media that proponents of campaign finance reform want to trust with providing "fair" campaign coverage.
No, what you're saying is crap. She is blaming the media.
