This from Greg Sargent, about a Sarah Palin who refuses to appear anywhere but on Fox:
One interesting consequence of Sarah Palin decision to remain part of the national conversation while refusing to undergo any media scrutiny or cross-examination is that her lying is growing increasingly blatant, casual and even effortless.
[...]
The point is that if you never subject yourself to any kind of media cross-examination, it gets easier and easier to lie, because there’s simply no downside, or any disincentive of any kind, to lying as much as you want to.
