st, Hawkins seeks to explain the MSM’s refusal to cover Ditka’s kind words for Palin. No, not that a former football coach saying nice things about a former half-term governor and unsuccessful vice-presidential candidate doesn’t rank too high on the list of newsworthy events this week, but that media figures “fear” Ditka: Come to think of it, I don’t recall hearing them talk about Ditka’s kind words for Palin on the campaign trail in 2008 either. (I’ve got a feeling Matthews, Lauer, and Olbermann would rather pick fights with people who don’t fight back, and they all know Ditka isn’t the type to just shut up and take it. That’s why they fear him and that’s why we love him.) That’s also why we love Palin. I’m not sure what kind of ideal media world Big Journalism contributors envision, but apparently it would involve media outlets running Breaking News reports covering Mike Ditka calling Sarah Palin a “great lady, mother and wife.
