For a few weeks following the announcement that McCain had picked her, including her speech at the Republican Convention, Palin was a media darling. They only turned against her when it became obvious she was completely incapable of running the country.

Did you even see the infamous Katie Couric interview? She wasn't hostile towards Palin at all, but Sarah couldn't even give a proper answer to such softball questions as, "What magazines and newspapers do you read?"
