About That Palin "Stalking"

As an early Palin supporter, I find her media ascent very disquieting, leading me to think her critics, however gender-challenged and anti-woman they might have been, did have a valid point. Becoming a less version of Limbaugh, Beck, or Coulter will get you no support from the great unwashed political middle.

Right Now - Sarah Palin's strange, unprofessional and paranoid grudge

"...Politicians don't have veto power over who gets to write about them, or how they research their stories, as long as they're within the bounds of the law. It's incredibly irresponsible for them to sic their fans on journalists they don't like. And that's what Palin is doing here -- she has already inspired Glenn Beck to accuse McGinniss of "stalking" Palin and issuing a threat to boycott his publisher.

This is really the ultimate example of the way Palin manipulates the press and inverts the relationship between reporters and politicians, turning the former into "stalkers," and the latter -- as long as they're Republicans or members of her family -- into saints whom no one can criticize. No one in the media should reward Palin for this irresponsible and pathetic bullying."
