The Palin/Johnston Breakup: WHY IS THIS NEWS???

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, March 12. 2009 10:49
For as long as I can remember, our national media has treated the personal problems of Democratic politicians (See: John Edwards) as private affairs that are conducted between consenting adults.

With that in mind—How in the hell is the fact that Bristol Palin and Levi Johnston have called off their engagement front page news?

Can the double standard be any more obvious?

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

*I couldn't agree with your comments more. The media is stretching to find reasons to bash conservatives in the post-Bush era.

*Exactly subby, this is all about bashing conservatism, ie. bashing Gov Palin for having the audacity to enter the national political arena by going after her kids.

Yes, very low indeed. Remember how Clinton's daughter was extremely off limits. Even when she campaigned for her mom to be president, the media stayed away.

But, a conservative mom with traditional problems, that is just too juicy of a chance to try and make themselves look bad.
