Are You Kidding? Sarah Palin Aide Complains About Not Enough Media Coverage

» 47 comments

With Donald Trump dominating most of the political coverage lately, it seems supporters of Sarah Palin are missing the “love” from the media. Last night Palin’s aide Rebecca Mansour took to Twitter to directly challenge various “mainstream media” outlets as to why they didn’t cover Palin’s Tea Party speech last weekend.

Slate’s Dave Weigel documented the various Tweets posed by Mansour to all of the major news organizations besides Palin’s own employer, Fox News. Now that the request for more Palin coverage is generating some of its own media headlines, it seems Mansour may have achieved her objective? Yet wasn’t it just a little while ago that many Palin supporters were just as aggravated with the “lamestream media” for making a huge story out of Palin’s every hiccup? If the “media” was to respond at this point, the “media” might scream back at Palin’s people “what do you want from me?”

    Aha makes sense why she shows up on Hannity the next day!

  • Color Me Badd

    14 minutes and counting. Bye Bye Sarah!

  • Color Me Badd

    Where is John Ziegler, he better be working on something right now for Sarah. She needs you John!!!!!

  • ohwell

    America’s favorite victim, Sarah Palin, just can’t stop whining can she?

  • TfT

    Ah yes, anything but the CBS edits the “hot mic” story.

    bwahahahahaha

  • lucky5

    I do feel bad for her because Trump took her thunder and that might mean less revenue inside her pocket.

    Dear Matt,

    When Palin gives a solid speech, you should cover it.

    I sincerely hope that they get banned. I happen to think that Tommy is a fair and true liberal (stays committed to his cause or non-cause) so I can respect him, as well as I don’t mind Alex’s posts, but when they allow gutter snipes at this level against a kid of any politician, that’s not fair at all.

    She should check out the battle for Middle-Earth going on under the Trig/Wonkette post. The best part is that all of think they’re battling the orcs.

  • Matt Schneider

    Dear WCinWI:
    Mediaite did cover Palin’s well-received speech here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/sarah-palin-challenges-gop-establishment-were-here-were-clear-get-used-to-it/

    P.S. Lou Sarah: Palin is definitely a victim in the Wonkette instance and of course that type of attack is not considered “media coverage”

  • azgrandma

    Oh if it isn’t the whiner in chief. cry baby time. She is such a chicken she sends her spokesman out via twitter no less. Is this the same one that blasts everyone else for no courage. Oh we must remember she had courage, courage indeed to QUIT.

  • TfT

    Did CBS cover it? Did CBS edit the hot mic tape of Obama? when will you report on that Matt? I know mediaite covered the hot mic comments, but I haven’t seen a follow-up regarding CBS edits and then refusal to release the full tape. Can you or Tommy updat that story Matt?

    You did cover it, but I also understand Mansour’s take on it. I was at the rally. I thought it was a strong and bold speech. It was barely covered in the mainstream press and that’s to their own peril. The internet world will see it and it’ll spread. Even on Hotair, a lot of the “I like Palin but am not sold on her yet” crowd loved the speech. If the media wishes to continue to give Bachmann and Trump a media pulpit, that’s to your own peril.

    That’s all I meant. :)

    That’s her own personal Twitter. She was on Hannity and didn’t particularly mention the coverage so unless you can find a Palin quote stating so, I would retract your statement. :)

  • BeckFinallyDemoted

    Jesus, what kind of an idiot is Mansour?
    She insults the networks she is trying to get coverage from….

    To CBS: “I know no one watches you but how come you didn’t cover Palin’s speech?”

    Hmmmmmm….I wonder why?

    I just want to see the long form birth certificate. Why won’t she release the kids BC and prove she’s his mother???? (after reading this crap… does it sink in at all to you dragger-baggers how ridiculous you sound on a daily basis? Probably not….)

    Matty, she’s always the victim. People die in Tucson, she’s the real victim…. Oooohhh, did that hit a little too close to home? Sorry about that……..

    When the author of the article is calling you out and essentially tells you to stop, you should probably stop.

    One would think RAM and Palin would be happy that the media is not talking about her Madison speech where 500 were there to hear her and 6000 were there to boo her. Sarah screeched another hate speech. So, what’s new? Who cares? No one.

    This isn’t your website you silly troll. They will report on what they want, when they want.

    All you do is come on here and whine and bitch and moan about how much you don’t like it. Why would you subject yourself to something that irritates you so much? LMAO! You’re kinda a sad little troll aren’t you? Go to Foxnation.com or some other site that writes stories that you might find more pleasant to read. Life is too short babycakes!

    For once she is an actual victim, and you love it. It means you guys can write about her again.

    Since when did you become the editor of Mediaite? Go get a real job.

  • Newsjunky

    I’m sure Katie Couric would be happy to interview you again, Sarah. But, you’re too scared to be interviewed by anyone that doesn’t have a Fox News moniker next to their name. Plus, some quitter former governor who is so scared that she just hides behind Twitter and Facebook accounts doesn’t get to demand any kind of coverage. As entertaining as it is to watch you make an ass out of yourself day in and day out, the media absolutely shouldn’t be going overboard on their coverage of you. You’re a coward. And rapidly being eclipsed by the rest of the looney tunes on the right.

    She’s no longer the cool kid at the party. She needs to get used to this because it’s her new reality.

    @WCinWC…seems you’re the only there who thinks there were more than 500 people for Palin. I guess the entire world is wrong about 6000 being there to boo the lying quitter? You need to get over her, she is no longer in anyone’s radar, except for her very tiny, very sick cult that’s made up primarily of panty sniffers.

  • RoughAcres

    When Sarah Palin becomes a declared candidate, the media should cover it. Until then, it’s a little like covering a speech that Ronald McDonald makes about hamburgers: it’s a corporate line, designed to boost the corporate profit. In Sarah’s case, Fox News. Why cover an advertisement as newsworthy?

  • ProObamaAgenda

    Sorry Sarah youve outlived your usefulness…youre nutts…. even bill o’rielly refered to you as a grenade thats about to blow up the republican party on his show last night…..that assessment cant make you too happy…but im sure bill-o the clown has a pole in his basement …..can you dance hun????….see sarah down here we dont play your lil crosshair games YOUR 15 MINUTES ARE OFFICIALLY OVER

  • Gasket

    This is the same idiotic camp that flamed The Daily Caller for not putting $arah PaYlin’s screed on page 1 of their article based on her. They accused TDC of “burying” their quotes on “page 2″ of their article. LOL! What an ice queen Palin is! Like I have always said, they are media attention whores.

    It got more coverage than all the hundreds of thousands that protested in Madison over union rights. CNN chose instead to talk about the 2 year anniversary of the TP while 100,000 were marching on Madison. This rally had 10 times more protesters against Palin’s rally than were for. The count was around 500 for.

  • Garth

    The half-term nit wit needs something to bitch about.

  • Jaurez

    Being smeared and being covered are not the same.

  • Nacho

    She needs to make sure the media covers her speeches so she can continue charging top dollar for her appearances.

    The problem is all of her canned speeches are old news.

  • skyfet

    Because she is irrelevant, maybe she can become a full blown Birther to get attention. She better run in the primary, because after the 2012 election, she’d be gone in oblivion.

  • superyankees

    Matt Schneider , You should do a bit more research. She became part of a forwarding and retweating group to highlight media bias.
    Here is the link of what occurred.
    http://biggovernment.com/jjmnolte/2011/04/20/twitter-power-mock-the-msm-and-watch-them-launch-phony-attacks-against-sarah-palin/
    “Again, no one here is trying to convince anyone in the MSM to do their jobs honorably. We all know that’s a complete waste of time. But what isn’t a waste of time is pointing out the MSM’s glaring double standards to as many people as possible. These tweets can get re-tweeted, the effect can be exponential, and those addressed in the tweets know this. All good…..
    …Now, I don’t know Rebecca Mansour, we’ve never met, but she’s one of three-plus thousand people following me on Twitter and I’m one of the three-plus thousand following her. I work for Andrew Breitbart, she works for Sarah Palin — so it kinda makes sense — and like a few others, she joined in on my reindeer games. A sample here, here, and here.”

    Wrong. And I asked you to please stop commenting on my posts. Please do so. You add nothing to the debate. :) Thanks!

    Except she didn’t make any money for this speech. Now go continue hating “corporate America” again.

  • GIVEMEFREEDOM

    Sarah Palin continues to fan the flames of anti-liberal progressive democrats. There is No one that gets them angry like she can. She brings out the absolute worst in those who hate the conservative “right” while she richly castigates the left in ways even THEY can understand.
    et tu Matt? he he

  • YFS

    Mediaite & other MLMers, Palin haters all duped by Big Journalism and Rebecca Mansour! Well done, folks.

  • tiredoftherunaround

    OMG! , i can’t believe my good luck!

    I’ve found yet another Hate Palin website.

    You guys really should get a life. We have something far worse who can do much more damage………….in the WH.

  • MTinMO

    I saw Palin’s speech last Saturday and the 500-600 of her supporters that showed up. Fortunately I was spared having to listen to much of it because of the 6500 anti tea party, anti-Gov. Walker and anti-Palin protesters that made so much more noise than she did. What made them think Wisconsin was going to be a good place for her? They have already filed recall petitions on at least 4 or 5 Republicans and are almost ready to file the next one. And it has been done all by Wisconsin volunteers. The Republicans gathered some signatures too, but they had to bring paid signature gathers that lied to people to get them to sign. There are signed affidavits to that effect from registered voters. Typical Rethuglican tactics.

    Got a link for that?
