Real journalists will not have access to Palin. That’s the clear message by Nicole Wallace of the McCain campaign. [1]

Andrew Sullivan writes [2]: “I’m simply staggered that someone who could be president in an instant next January has been in her position for a week and cannot be asked questions by the press corps”
This denial of access to Sarah Palin is only appropriate, of course, because the media was acting inappropriately when it tried to determine whether Sarah Palin is competent to be the next Vice-President of the United States. Bad Media! Here’s the apology of one journalist. [3]
And this denial of access is just the continuation of a trend. When the media tries to really find out about McCain (instead of acting like his stenographer), they shall be punished [4] by denying them any further access to McCain. Most important, if you dare to ask McCain questions like THIS [5], you have no more access to McCain for the rest of your life. For instance, consider the promise McCain made to Larry King [6] (and check out the many comments).
And now, McCain is trying to shut down the Alaskan ethics probe of Palin [7], because the People simply don’t need to know the facts. So what if Palin abused her power of office!
If you want to make McCain happy, run happy polls with the deck stacked. [8]
