Here are a set of three very different articles, different in every way, one for each of the three beauty queens in John McCain's life:
The Daily Mail on Carol McCain:
"The Wife U.S. Republican John McCain Callously Left Behind" by Sharon Churcher
The New Yorker on Cindy McCain:
"The Lonesome Trail" by Ariel Levy
The Nation on Sarah Palin:
"Beauty and the Beast" by Joann Wypijewski
We have tabloid journalism, sober liberal reporting, and over-the-top analysis that tries too hard, but I found each article interesting in its own way.
