Why is this news?

I saw the following story on Fox this morning. I understand that they are trying to stand up for the folks in the middle of a media onslaught, however these folks shouldn't even be a blip on the radar.

Children should not be included when the media decides to vet out a candidate. Period. I think its hillarious that in the five or so weeks since Sarah Palin has been on the Republican ticket, we have found out more about her family, and her husbands possible DUI, etc, than we have about Barrack Obama himself. I am glad we have folks out there like Laura Ingrahm, and Sean Hannity. Without them, the facts about Obama's past associations with Reverend Wright, Father Pfleuger, Tony Rezko, and Mr. Daley would have never been heard.

But don't the children become fair game when their own mother uses them as a political shield? Example: Philidelphia Flyers puck drop.

(Please note that I again used same source as you)


My favorite line from the article:

"The GOP Vice-Presidential nominee said at an earlier fundraiser that she would stop some of the booing from the rowdy Philadelphia fans by putting her seven year old daughter, Piper in a Flyers jersey. She said, “How dare they boo Piper!”

Not the first or only time, just an example.

Come on.... how is that even comparable to the ARMY of folks that the main stream media sent to Alaska, and their missions to grab as much dirt on the Palins as possible? You know, if some actual investigative reporting was done on Barrack in the first 6 weeks of his campaign, as has been done against Sarah, he wouldn't have made it out of the primary season.
