re: #185 Sionainn

I wasn’t around here when Palin became the VP choice, so I missed that. In my circles and sites I frequented, the specific criticism about Palin had nothing to do with her choosing to carry a child with Down syndrome, and everything to do with the fact that she had a choice.

Fair enough. Most on the left felt that way, too. But, as always, the media attention focused on the people who’d put out the anti-Tripp Palin DERPs. This was not due to any bias, though, but rather due to media corporations’ need for profits. Big nasty DERPs sell more newspapers, magazines and advertising than civil disagreement.
