As though that isn't whiny enough, we get this little gem...
Sarah Palin's bus tour treats reporters like paparazzi - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
That mean ol' Sarah Palin won't tell us where she's goooooing next, so we have to actually go out and burn up a little rubber and shoe leather to get the dirt for our latest hit pieceeeeeees!
And they wonder how it comes to pass that they end up being viewed by the hoi polloy in flyover country as disconnected, ivory tower-dwelling, elitist little snots?....Too funny!
Oh yeah...Almost forgot....
Since Palin and her team won't share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin's bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles all trying to make sure they don't lose sight of the Palin bus.
It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.
"I just hope to God that one of these young producers with a camera whose bosses are making them follow Sarah Palin as a potential Republican candidate don't get in a car crash, because this is dangerous," he said.

Palin's team isn't just ignoring the press; it's actively trying to misdirect reporters. Tuesday morning, for example, Palin's bus was running out in front of the hotel where she had stayed, prompting a gaggle of media to dutifully gather outside. Palin had already slipped out a side door early in the morning for a visit to the Gettysburg visitor center and battlefield.
She appears to be trying to show that she doesn't need mainstream media outlets (other than Fox News, where she remains a contributor) to connect with the American people.
"It feels like she's baiting us and treating us like paparazzi and make the 'lamestream media' appear that way," said Corsaro.
