VOTE: Sarah Palin Takes on the Media

Two months after the presidential election, former VP wannabe Sarah Palin is taking on the media! Documentary film writer/director John Ziegler gave Governor Palin a chance to set the record straight on what she thought really happened during the 2008 campaign, and why she believes the news coverage was biased.

"Extra" wants to know what you think!

Can you imagine what the GOP would have done if democrats had a candidate who was pregnant before marriage AND a pregnant unwed daughter. Especially if the candidate was Black. She is a hypocrite and the media was actually easy on her. Otherwise they would have pointed out her strong “family” values

ANY WOMAN WITH A BRAIN LAUGHS AT THE VERY SIGHT OF PALIN. SHE’S A REAL POLITICAL JOKE WITH NO REASON FOR BEING IN THE NEWS PERIOD.

You Betcha!
The media is one sided. And strongly leaned toward the Democrat side. They clearly were unfair where it came to her family.

Good for Sara Palin for standing up for herself. Did you really expect she would do anything else? I hope we see a lot more of this strong willed woman.

Gov. Palin is disingenuous at best. She’s crafty, but just not that smart. Yes, she’s ambitious and shrewd, but uneducated or knowledgeable in national or world events. Why would the American people want her to be responsible for their children or themselves? God help us if the door to the Oval Office ever opens to her!

Katie Couric sealed her own death warrant; she gnarled at Palin until she was sure she would be conceived the way she played her. I’d like to ask Katie Couric how many Supreme Court rulings she could remember if she hadn’t had it fed to her be teleprompter. Why wasn’t former community organizer and law school professor Barack Hussein Obama asked any tough Constitutional Law questions. Make your comeback in 2012, Sarah, when people are sick and tired of Obama’s phony stuck up bullshit.

yes i think that she was treated unfair and everyone should be treated the same man woman or what ever color they are. She told the Truth and no one liked that. I am just sad that they treated her kids the way they did and did not do the same way to the president elect. It just tell you how our country is heading

Sarh Palin is the average person and was demolished by the elite media. We will need an average American in 4 years to get the country back on track. America watch out your man of hope hasn’t given you any hope in any of his speeches lately, has he.

Of course, there was media bias, it’s still going on!!!!!!!!!!!
If it’s not true, then the MSM should
do a positive story on her. Otherwise they are strongly biased against her. I rest my case!

Love Palin, she converted a demo into a republican. Hope to hear more from her and I do believe she was treated unfairly by the media. This proves what a sexist society we live in!

The Msm are nothing but a bunch of hacks, they tried to do a horrible thing to Gov Palin and her family, putting down her children? She can handle any of them as we are seeing now, but leave her children out of it. If you don’t think she has experience read her book’s and see what she has done for the state of Alaska. We just have pay and play and the lower 48 sure doesn’t have any governors willing to make sure we are not hurt by big oil. UHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. IronJaw Angel

I agree with her. The media were openly campaigning for 0bama, she represented a threat to him, so they did their best to destroy her. After the first week or so, the 0bama campaign announced that they were no longer going to attack her, but requested that their friends in the media continue to do so, and they did as they were told to do. Even now, 2 months after the election, the media, and 0bama’s Internet Army continue to take their orders from either 0bama or Axelrod, by continuing their attacks and smears, because now they see her as a possible opponent in 2012.

I read in one of the another story that she has a degree in journalism????????? if she does she is prepared for any questions coming her way.


- does she have degree in journalism?

She is learning alot about the media and how it works. She can choose if she wants to be on shows or who interviews her. she is in control of her faculties and can decline a question if she chooses. I guess she is not fond of katie couric.


- she is learning

I think if she stays in the limelight, she will be exposed more so and people will get to know her better and they can vote for her next go round. my family are conservatives and they voted for Mccain and Palin.

Yes, the media trashed her and her family. Shame on them. Also, the media says campaign aides back stabbed her, but would not release their names. Trash and gossip is reported as news and the media always identifies the Republican party, but if it is about a Democrat then there is no mention of the party affiliation. It is always Republican so and so. The media is still trashing this woman and her family. McCain would not have received as many votes as he did if it weren’t for Sarah Palin. Conservative Republicans did not like McCain and most of them and the hispanics did not voite for him.

None of the answers are the answer I would answer….

My vote would be~~~an absolute~~~yes, you in the media tried to kill the woman with the usual grace and style you show when you neither want them nor believe they will make tons of money for you.

In Govenor Sarah Palins case, I would say, both things apply and that, our supposedly free press of the United States of America, makes you people null and void as far as delivering the truth to the people goes.

she saw $$$$$ when she went on SNL. Perhaps she should not have done that stint several times. I also think she should have been better prepared for interviews, her republican campaign aides could have done more for her, instead , what do they do, they backstab her and start calling her family the “wasilla hillbillies” shame on the republican campaign aides for bad mouthing her to the press. they trashed her and her family. she didn’t get a fair shake.


- her own republican aides trashed her shame on them
