Well, it's not that big a mystery. The answer is: because everytime she does she reveals herself to be an incurious snowbilly and it turns into a fucking disaster. Except for the snow part, we've had enough of that. Look at all the damage that kind of thinking did between 2000 and 2008.
Remember the two interviews with Katie Couric during the campaign of '08 when Palin revealed herself to be an ignoramus who couldn't name any of the Founding Fathers or tell us what magazines she reads? Palin sure does. She tries to put a good face on it, but the memory of the Couric interviews, which DESTROYED any chance for her to be vice-president, still burn.
So now Palin won't cooperate with anyone in the media unless she has total control or it's Fox Not the News. Wanna simple example? Okay, local journalists from small papers CAN attend Palin's speeches around the country, but cameras are only permitted for the first 15 minutes.
Here's another one: Palin used to regularly take to news shows and tell bald-faced whoppers or even ignore reporters' questions completely. She doesn't anymore because she can't control them.
None of this stops the media, which for some reason is interested in anything this dumb broad says. Vanity Fair is the latest outfit to come out with a profile that shows Palin to be a ruthless snowbilly who steps on people, staffers and relatives in order to get to power. It also says that Palin doesn't write her famous facebook page but employs a blogger to do it because she is obsessed with her public persona.
She's also maipulative, a rotten tipper and perfectly willing to exploit others for her own personal gain.
