More directly, it's Pravda, where fluffy human interest stories about the dictator's family avoid the issues at pain of punishment.
This woman is not Stalin (or Putin) yet, though. Time to fight this. Obama underestimates this at his peril, and I speak as a poor post-college kid who's contributed several hundred dollars I don't really have.
Barack, you're now running against Palin and the media. McCain isn't even an issue for the moment. Act like it. We need furious ads with cinematic bite, and Palin's positions are so transparently out of the mainstream that the ads almost write themselves.
We have actual photos of her campaigning for the bridge to nowhere; actual proof that she made city officials sign loyalty oaths to her. You're from Chicago. Take these gifts and FIGHT.
Palin's headed for her first interview on ABC, owned by Disney, a typical rightie corporation. Of course they'll ask questions she's groomed for in advance. We can't wait for her to be further coddled.
