If that's a crime in the minds of the media, this country is in far worse shape than I thought. <br /><br />The cynicism over the "wholesomeness" of her and other American personalities is unnecessary. They dislike that she is what she is, unlike the individuals they rally around who are complete and utter frauds like Weiner.<br /><br />The media's overreaction towards Mrs Palin reflects poorly on them, not her.
