So in my Journalism Ethics class on Wednesday, Dr. Wickham asked the class whether Palin's daughter's unplanned pregnancy was NEWS? Her 17-year-old daughter Bristol is expecting her first baby whose father is an 18-year-old high school hockey jock named Levi Johnston who of course... Doesn't want kids. Who didn't see that coming. I had seen it on television all day the past few days so in that perception, it is news. BUT is it really?... NO! The situation is just another part of the media frenzy that has nothing to do with Palin's actual goals as VP running mate or the issues that she believes in. And so far all it has done is spread rumors and speculation. How about we focus on the fact that Palin has a strong anti-abortion record, and that her selection was praised by social conservatives who support McCain's need to prevail in the campaign for the White House and how it will effect his running? What about that? You know, something that actually matters.
