I'm actually inclined to agree, in a fair media landscape.  There's so  
much to attack Palin on without dragging her daughter into it.  And in  
fact, nobody significant in politics or the media been attacking her  
on it.  The media have been making a big deal of it, but not so much  
as an attack as because it involves sex and comparisons to Britney's  
sister, and yada yada.  Of course, that's nothing to do with the  
Lewis' topic, you're just trying to change the subject.

On the other hand, let's make no mistake, if Obama had a 17-year-old  
girl in the same situation, it'd be nonstop wall-to-wall coverage, and  
it wouldn't be limited to lefty blogs.

And a final point: Daily Kos is a left-wing website, with very little  
top-down editorial control, that makes its ideological affiliation  
clear.  Fox News is a massive propaganda machine that tries to pretend  
it's impartial as a way of distorting our nation's politics.  Not the  
same thing at all.
