6/10/11, "Another Embarrassment for the Legacy Media," Powerline Blog, J. Hinderacker
"We wrote last night about the frenzy surrounding the State of Alaska's release of emails from Sarah Palin's tenure as governor. Both the New York Times and the Washington Post turned the release into a major media event, enlisting their readers to help them comb through the approximately 13,000 documents,
- in hopes of finding nuggets that reflect badly on Palin.
Today the hysteria kicked off in earnest in Juneau, when the state made paper copies of the emails available to reporters. Here, (above)
- one group of reporters films another group of reporters hauling emails into a waiting vehicle....
Substantively, the emails appear to contain little of interest. The Washington Post has breathless headlines including "Emails show Palin's governing style," "Palin wanted less time in state capital"--everyone wants less time in Juneau, and state government has largely moved to Anchorage--and "Palin's staff tried to balance time in state capital with time on road." No scoops, apparently."...
