      Ms Jamieson should be on network tv more. Much of the same things she talks about in this 1998 clip is applicable now a decade later. It was obnoxious how the media overhyped how 'stupid' or 'bumbling' Sarah Pallin is before the vice presidential debate that her managing not to slip on the carpet as she walked in or to remember to say 'John is a maverick' every time she answered a question actually caused many to think she somehow 'won' the debate... And then they spent the rest of the week discussing 'what a good debater' she is and about how they underestimated her... That's a sad state when the media actually doesn't realize how it manufactures news rather than reports it. KPBS has been better than the other channels this election season, imho.
