WHY does it frame debates in trivializing, horse-race terms? At the same time, hasn't the media been shamed into truth-squadding the candidates, vetting Palin, running the facts to ground, if only in the waning hours of the campaign? Some media critics have noted the renewed viligance of the media. If true, how does this alleged viligance square with Kim's critique? Food for thought...M.
