Have You Heard About Sarah Palin's Radical Church?

Big, giant you go girl! to Rachel Maddow, who on MSNBC may have just given us a preview of what her new show may bring to the world of cable news. There has been a maddening sameness, if not in tone, in the stories that are covered by three major cable news channels. With the noted exception if Countdown with Keith Olbermann, whatever one channel is covering on a given day, so are the other two.

Maddow just unleashed a bombshell on the post-Republican National Convention coverage, regarding Sarah Palin's church. I knew of this story because I listen to Maddow's radio show, but I had yet to hear it anywhere else. Chris Matthews was obviously taken aback, asking Maddow, "what's your source?" "Politico.com," answered Maddow.

Now, assuming the source holds up, and that the story has been drug out kicking and screaming to an apparently unwilling cable news, what will become of it? We had to listen to weeks of denouncements of Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's pastor, for Wright's "anti-American" comments. "Why did Obama stay in that church?" was the refrain asked again and again.

Despite the common wisdom that the media is "in the tank" for Obama, this story hounded him well past the point that anyone should have cared. Will the story Maddow brought to light have the same effect on Palin? At least Maddow gave it a shot.
