Sarah Palin here before for her attacks on the mainstream – or as she says, “lamestream” – media. So it’s only fair that I also recognize Palin’s new approach, a cautious embrace of those same lamestream journalists. Here’s a bit of what Politico.com’s Kenneth Vogel has to say about the change, [...] I love celebrating excellent journalism, and today’s award winner is Kimball Bennion, a reporter at the Great Falls Tribune and University of Montana journalism grad.
