Is anyone aware of the American media's obsession with sex?!? They released the news on Monday and today its Wed. and I haven't heard a thing about it today. It being in the news v. it being all the news is talking about are a bit different.

Yes, yes, myspace, but this is kind of a shotgun wedding nonetheless. I kind of doubt that they intended to marry, the dude even said on his myspace that he didn’t want kids.

How about don't be the ones that RELEASED THE NEWS that Bristol Palin was pregnant. Glad to see that y'all aren't letting facts get on the way of a good argument. what a tool…insty asked how they could have kept this out of the news?!?

That would be <b>much</b> better than high-school sweethearts getting pushed into marrying a bit earlier then they intended - even if they have to elope to do it. #1 - Obama's mother. #2 - Sarah Palin, who celebrated her 20th anniversary last Friday.

#1 – Obama’s mother.

#2 – Sarah Palin, who celebrated her 20th anniversary last Friday.

I feel sorry for Bristol and the dude that knocked her up though, they just wanted to mess around and now they're gonna have to get married, and stay that way until either McCain/Palin lose this election, or 4/8 years, haha.

The McCain campaign, not the media, released the info about Sarah Palin's daughter just days after he announced her as his VP pick (from what I understand, nobody even thought she was currently pregnant). I remember Gore's son's bruhaha, and that was long after he wasn't selected to be President. Did Biden's daughter get into a bar fight shortly before or after he was announced as VP? The impetus for a story is when the information occurs in relation to the news cycle. Now, the first story I had read was about li'l Trigger not being Sarah Palin's son. That is a huge news story, and the circumstantial evidence being compiled was sufficient enough to cause media inquiry. In response to this, the McCain campaign deflected these rumors by saying, "that is ridiculous, that is outlandish, she wasn't pregnant then...oh, but she is now". Which made it an interesting story, released by the campaign.
