Palin goes to the U.N.

The McCain campaign seems to think Sarah Palin is unfit or unprepared to talk to the media. The Huffington Post reported on the reports that Gov. Palin was denied the opportunity to showcase her vast foreign policy experience while meeting with various heads of state at the U.N. today. For some reason, the majority of the media did not sympathize with Go. Palin and insist that the campaign managers allow the vice presidential candidate to speak with (or at least be heard speaking by) the media. There is another Fox treatment of the story here.

But beyond the guarding of Sarah Palin what I found interesting was how the Huffington Report reported on the Fox story. It seems as though the writers at the Huffington Report will gather their material for a story even from those media outlets that they are often at odds with. Maybe that's the point of the story: Sarah Palin is so inept and the McCain campaign so aware of their mistake in choosing her for vice president that even Fox is starting to see the cover-up. With this particular story I would have to say that the Huffington Report is reporting on the shielding of Sarah Palin and the Fox News response to the story at the same time.
