This Politico headline tells you pretty much everything you need to know about the article that follows: “Palin offers calm critique of Baucus bill.” Politico's Andy Barr goes on to cut-and-paste from Palin's Facebook post about the Baucus health care bill, pausing occasionally to describe the post as “tough but wonky,” tout her citation of an actual economist to “make her argument” and marvel that Palin's approach was “more tempered” than her “Death Panel” claims earlier this year.

Not mentioned: Whether Palin's “calm critique” is accurate and fair, or whether anyone disagrees with anything she wrote.

“He said/She said” journalism is bad enough. But this is worse: This is just “She said.”
