Thanks for the hysterical laugh. Yeah right, sure, that's what they would have done.
It must be nice to live in your black and white fantasy world where "lefties" are all evil people intent on destroying the country and all of your own folks are upstanding moral citizens who help old ladies onto the bus.
Your mentality reminds me of this quote:
"Do you wish to find out a person's weak points? Note the
failings he has the quickest eye for in others. They may not
be the very failings he is himself guilty of; but they
will be their next-door-neighbors."
--Julius Hare
so can you provide examples of the press leaving people alone because they requested it?
Oh yeah I can see the msm leaving Palin or any other conservative alone because they "REQUESTED" it.
Yeah that will happen.
