CSU Stanislaus will allow media at Palin event

*
The media will be able to cover Sarah Palin's speech at a California campus next Friday, and reporters won't even have to pay for their tickets, unlike ordinary mortals:

After months of requests from reporters, a California university has agreed to allow members of the media to attend a fundraiser next week featuring Sarah Palin.

Officials with California State University, Stanislaus said Friday that the June 25 gala at its Turlock campus would be open to the press.

The Associated Press has been requesting access to the event since mid-April.

The press, which long ago elevated itself to special status, has been getting freebie press passes for so long that it really galls them to have to buy their own tickets like the little people do.
