The mainstream media in America is a total joke.

Here's the old coventional wisdom (circa last Sunday) from ABC News about the Giffords shooting:

In the stunned aftermath of the Tucson massacre, Sarah Palin has found herself in the crosshairs of the ensuing political debate with opponents suggesting she may have fueled the gunman's rage and her supporters saying it is "grotesque" to blame her and to politicize the tragedy.

Apparently spontaneous mass hysteria broke out on Facebook:

Facebook executive Randi Zuckerberg said many people on the social networking site are asking whether Sarah Palin is to blame.

According to Zuckerberg that is the #1 question on the social network behemoth following the Tucson shooting.

Today is Wednesday and the conventional wisdom has shifted. Now, the story is "That zany Sarah Palin has to make everything about her her her":

BOTTOM LINE: Sarah Palin, once again, has found a way to become part of the story.

The mainstream media in America is a total joke.
