Conservative traditions, pretzelfied. Bill O'Reilly used to say it was the parents' fault, but that was so August. And it's the media's fault, of course:
The lack of mainstream media attacks on Bristol Palin didn't stop true believers from uncorking on a favorite straw man.
The crowd groaned at the mere mention of the pregnancy issue during a panel here Tuesday morning. Idaho Lt. Gov. Jim Risch was one of several panelists who rose to defend Bristol's honor. Risch dismissed all baby talk with a terse: "Next question." And former McCain political aide Mike Murphy, now an NBC news-talker, ordered the media to "lay off the kid."
Even the youngest delegate here, 17-year-old Mike Knopf, had fully digested the day's "bad-media" message. "Despite what the liberal media is trying to say," regurgitated young Knopf in an interview with Newsweek, "she has nothing to be ashamed of."
