Memo to all of you sick-of-the-sarah-story salonistas: I really don't think you do "get it." Salon is one of the few respected media outlets bothering to actually report on what Ms. Palin did--and didn't do--in her short and not-so-illustrious political career up north. And because they are finding lots of troubling information (and regularly exposing a fair amount of disinformation,) every once in awhile a few Salon-mined facts turn up in the national media and become part of a much wider conversation about her, but also about leadership and politics.
If you are sick of reading about Sarah Palin, stop reading about Sarah Palin. But understand that these kinds of stories extend Salon's voice beyond this self-selected liberal universe. By actually reporting stories instead of continually rewording a few select talking points, Salon is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.
