Media complains that Palin caravan puts reporters at risk

[kokonut]

A rather strange if not wimpy protest from the media.

Since Palin and her team won’t share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin’s bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles – including a massive CNN bus – all trying to make sure they don’t lose sight of the Palin bus.

It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.

“I just hope to God that one of these young producers with a camera whose bosses are making them follow Sarah Palin as a potential Republican candidate don’t get in a car crash, because this is dangerous,” he said.

Corsaro asked a member of Palin’s team if he thought it was dangerous to have reporters forced to chase her from stop to stop. “You’re the ones that are trailing us,” he replied.

Duh.

Nothing more than an attention getting tactic from the Queen of "It's all about me!"

Thanks for the update.

Left = Bad / Right = good

I just find it comical that the media actually complained about her giving them the slip. And that chasing her is "dangerous" putting their (the media) reporters' lives at risk! And that reporters are "forced" to chase her making it sound like some high speed chase going on. One member of Palin's team correctly put it into perspective to one reporter asking him the question, "You’re the ones that are trailing us."

Right. Didn't my red bold highlight helped at all in making my point? Nothing to do with "left" or "right." Any reporter who complain like that need to be spanked and sissified for everybody to see. Dangerous? Yeah. Sure. Whatevah!

What a silly girl. Beg for media attention, and then try to avoid it to create more media attention. The woman hasn't got a brain in her head.
