Is Media Matters at it Again?

This story, which has been prominently displayed as a news item on Yahoo's homepage all day, is another classic example of the underhanded tactics the media uses in their attempt to filter and package the news, ready for instant consumption.  The story, written by George Stephanopoulos, is titled "Former Sarah Palin Adviser Says 'Game Change' Was 'True Enough to Make Me Squirm'" which would lead one to believe that the HBO movie Game Change, based on the book by John Heilemann and Mark Halperin, is an accurate account of the ill-fated McCain/Palin campaign.  But here is what Stephanopoulos says four paragraphs in:

Many of Palin's other aides, including the treasurer of the pro-Palin Super PAC, have  condemned the film, calling it everything from a "false narrative" to "sinful." To counter that "false narrative," Sarah PAC put out a video that juxtaposes scenes from "Game Change" with actual clips from the 2008 campaign.

And here is an important bit of information that one may find relevant:

This is not the first public clash of opinions between Palin and former adviser Wallace, who have had a rather high-profile feud since the campaign ended.

Wallace said in October that she based the mentally ill vice-presidential character in her fictional book, "It's Classified," off Palin. She told  ABC News' Top Line in October that Palin "seemed deeply troubled" at times during the campaign and that some of her behaviors "concerned me."

Of course many studies have been done that have determined over and over again that most people never get the end of news stories (a reason why anything semi-important in the New York Times is included from about A30 and on).  It's just strange that the one outlier would determine the truth about Palin.  Usually one doesn't determine a scientific theory based on the one variable that is vastly different than the rest.  Certainly the media would never have determined anything useful about Barack Obama during the 2008 just based on what Rev. Wright said?  Right?
