This is how we know there is a difference between the media and the rest of the country

David Carr doesn't like the Republicans attacking the press.
In the press galleries at the convention, journalists wrinkled their noses in disgust when Piper, Ms. Palin’s youngest daughter, was filmed kitty-licking her baby brother’s hair into place. But to many Americans — including some I talked to in the convention hall — that looked like family church on Sunday, evidence of good breeding and sibling regard.
There's a divide right there. If you were disgusted by that perfectly natural loving gesture from a sibling, then you really are out of touch. I heard again and again women calling into talk radio to talk about how that was their favorite moment of the convention.
