Political analyst Michael Barone has an interesting explanation for the media’s coverage of Sarah Palin. In a talk he gave Tuesday, Barone said:
The liberal media attacked Sarah Palin because she did not abort her Down syndrome baby. They wanted her to kill that child. … I’m talking about my media colleagues with whom I’ve worked for 35 years.
Barone has apologized for his remarks, which had prompted some attendees to head for the exits. In an e-mail to Politico, Barone said he “was attempting to be humorous and … went over the line.”
