She shouldn't expect that a wardrobe malfunction or something going on around her will be used to make a National story out of a small State wide holiday piece. There is reasons why cameramen are trained professionals and News rooms have editors.

I think you're missing my point. If she's not going to run in 2012, then this doesn't hurt her. If she is going to run, and doesn't manage her own image or have someone managing it for her then she's not very bright is she?
You seem to forget that it was reported that she was asked If the background was okay and said nothing. How do you know the cameraman knew they were going to start slaughtering during the interview. Maybe the cameraman assumed it would be quick and done. I like how you try to shift responsibility for managing Palin's image onto the media, If what you say is how the world works, why hire media consultants at all, just tell the news what you want them to show!
