I think the papers have enough pictures of Palin. It's completely appropriate for the press to ask questions about her experiences, philosophies, and foreign policy knowledge. Painting her as some kind of victim is actually sexist, like she can't handle it. If she's ready to be VP then let her talk. Calling the media "biased" is a tactic that hinders the democratic process. Americans have a right to ask her tough questions the same way McCain, Clinton, and Obama have been asked over and over. It looks to me that the Republicans are afraid of her answers and responses. So calling the media the evil word "liberal" is a way of taking the pressure off of them. It's a deceptive way to avoid straight talk with Americans.
