RADIO We told you yesterday about Air America's interview with Todd Purdum. If you missed it, you can listen online here. Purdum discussed Palin's unpredictability, her lack of curiosity and her "casual" relationship with the truth, all characteristics that came out in last fall's presidential campaign, and gained traction in recent days as she announced her resignation. As Purdum told Air America's Jack Rice, "She really is willing to say that black is white and day is night." ONLINE Are Murdoch and Google eyeing a Twitter purchase?

And WaPo's Tom Shales: Never Can Say Goodbye, Even in Death, Jackson Is Good TV. In Sunday's WaPo, the aunt of a solider killed in Afghanistan on the same day as Michael Jackson decried the lack of TV news coverage for the soldiers as the media went in to overdrive on the Jackson story. She wrote: "Mr. Jackson received days of wall-to-wall coverage in the media. Where was the coverage of my nephew or the other soldiers who died that week?" WEST WING REPORTAGE Some notes on President Obama's trip overseas from Politico's Josh Gerstein via Playbook: "Morning for the White House Press Corps kicked off with an enervating 3 a.m. bus call at the hotel in Moscow. (Some TV folks basically went straight from standups to the buses)." HAT TIPS: mediabistro JOBS after the jump... JOBS Check out MediaJobsDaily.
