Why I love the Main Stream Media (MSM)

Sorry, rant not over...

So while I was reading about all the ambush journalism taking place with these interviews Biden was giving I was treated to a very hard hitting piece on one of the network early shows. What was this hard hitting piece you ask...well since it has been ALL over the news about Palin getting a make over when she was picked for the VP slot she's responded a bit in some of her stump speeches and it seems she's a fan of consignment stores. GASP!! So here's some of that hard hitting piece of reporting I was treated to this morning - very critical to the future of this country!!!!!

In the 7:30AM half hour, co-host Julie Chen investigated that Alaska consignment shop: "On the campaign trail yesterday, Governor Sarah Palin again addressed the criticism she has received over the $150,000 that the Republican National Committee spent to dress her and her family. She said she likes to shop in a consignment store called Out of the Closet. The owner is Ellen Arv -- Arvold and she joins us now.
Chen thoroughly interrogated Arvold: "So how long has Governor Palin shopped at your store?...What does she usually buy at your store? And does she also shop for her entire family there?...And, Ellen, what is the price range of your women's wear?...And how much does Governor Palin typically spend at your store?...And would you say your clothes look much different than what we've been seeing her wear on the campaign trail?" Arvold defended Palin: "...no, I don't think her style has changed too much. I have only seen a few pieces that she's bought here on the campaign trail, but, no, I -- you know, I think she looks great." To that, Chen replied: "Hey, for $150,000, she better look fantastic."


I'm waiting for the video clip to get posted somewhere but the transcript of the above bit is here.

Glad the MSM is on top of the real stories out there...
