Hitchens Calls For Media Boycott Of Palin Unless She Has Press Conference

I guess they never learn. America's main stream Press not doing it's job again. Last time this happened on such a major scale we ended up in a stupid war. If she' going to be the Vice President she must face the press and answer questions. This isn't American Idol!

Dan Savage over at the Slog made this same proposition last week. He believed that NBC should have demanded that Palin give a press conference in exchange for getting on SNL. Meanwhile Christopher Hitchen in a Slate article makes the case against giving Palin free infotainment coverage without her subjecting herself to questioning by the press.
