The excellent Sarah calls them as she sees them .

OMG….hahahahahaha…another PALIN-WATCH update. This is getting hilarious mediaite. Obsess much?

or Katie’s or all of ours, Sarah. I think that’s a good call.

Such a bias? All she did was ask you “what newspapers do you read?”
When she says “I will speak to reporters who still understand that cornerstone of our democracy, that expectation that the public has for truth to be reported.” she means she’ll only speak to those that will handle her with kid gloves or those she won’t have to “refudiate”.

“So a journalist, a reporter who is so biased and will, no doubt, spin and gin up whatever it is that I have to say to create controversy, I swear to you, I will not my waste my time with her. Or him.”
Yet she is constantly on fox News…

Colby said:

“Couric’s interview with then Republican Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin in the Fall of 2008 raised many eyebrows because the then Alaska Governor seemed unwilling to reveal the specific magazine titles that she read, among other bon mots that many saw as damaging to the McCain-Palin ticket.”

Let’s be factual Colby and acknowledge that CBS has NEVER, NEVER released the “interview” with Palin, they only released snippets of the interview, in order to present an opinion, rather than a fact-based accounting of the FULL interview.

Good for Palin – fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. Couric doesn’t deserve to have another interview with Palin; nor does Charlie “are we fighting a holy war” Gibson, nor does Brian, who bowed to hehimself showing his true allegiance.

Mediaite suffering from extreme PDS.

Thank you very much! She is insufferable.

it’s kinda sad that people are so naive as to believe the whole ‘lame stream media’ thing. palin says incredible stupid things and it’s katie couric’s fault for asking the questions? only an outrageously insecure person like sarah palin can turn criticism into persecution.

Why do you libs insists on saying this made Palin look bad. The reason Palin acted the way she did is because of the snarky, condescending way Couric asked the question, like “you do read, right?” And you know it!

Can you tell me when a reporter asked a male candidate what papers do you read?

Barbara Walters asked if she ran, “Do you think you can win?”. When has a reporter asked that of any candidate except a third party candidate that they were trying to run out of the race?

Couric and Walters are very stupid reporters. We know Walters was a slut sleeping with a married black Senator. Couric has yet to confess her sleep around habits.

You must be a Palin fan cause you ALWAYS say incredible stupid things? Are you a copy cat?

What I love about Sarah: The dumber she gets, the more the Palin groupies love her.

She’s considering a lobotomy to reach that final plateau.

Probably because it did. snarky and condescending? Couric was completely professional. She asked a legitimate question with regards to Palin’s world view.

Really? So now you’re saying that a female reporter is sexist?
It’s a legitimate question. At the time we knew nothing of Palin. Couric attempted to get a better understanding of her views based on where she gets her information from. How is that discriminatory in any way? And yes, they’ve asked plenty of people do they think they can win. Just ask Alvin Greene. Yes, I put him and Palin on the same level.
There you go injecting those straw mans and ad hominems. I also find it funny that you had to inject race into that? Does the fact that the man was black make it that much worse?

Bullcrap. This was at the height of the media’s assassination of Palin. Way to rewrite history though!

Translation….She’s afraid of Couric! The Mama Grizzly is afraid of Cuddly Katie! Palin is by far the most ignorant and inarticulate moron I’ve ever seen. Oh, and the whole sophomoric “Who, what, when, where and why of Journalism is just embarrassing. Does she also know her times tables? In her ghost written book she bemoans the national debt and how her children and grandchildren will be forced to pay for it but, she also states that her current inspiration comes from Ronald Reagan. You know, the guy who trippled the deficit. I told you she’s a complete dumbass!

She has playing the victim down to a science. There is never any personal responsibility with her. Frankly, it is despicable.

““I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree.”

These are the funniest two sentences I have seen in a long time. First comes the garbled gobbly-gook of typical Sarah-speak and then she brags she is trained as a communicator.

Priceless. :-)

It was an interview conducted two months before the election after months of Palin and the campaign avoided essentially any scenario where she was answering questions from the media. Palin blames the campaign for not preparing her or allowing her to do media, but she also blames the media for asking her rudimentary questions about her worldview after spending most of the campaign avoiding interviews. The fact that we knew nothing of Palin as a leader short of her tenure in Alaska is not Couric, much less the media’s fault. It does, though, fall squarely on the shoulders of the campaign and Palin’s inability to speak to all Americans and not just her base (who apparently doesn’t care what she reads for global perspective.)

Leave it to the corrupt TVNEWSER and JOURNOLISTER wannabe Colby Hall to not accurately transcribe her quote. Here is what she actually said (commas included for clarity)
“I want to clean up the state, that is so sorry today, of journalism.”

Still a very flawed statement, even with commas. It would mean that she intended to use the “that is so sorry today” as a nonrestrictive clause, which means she should have used “which”–like I just did.

Whether dumb or smart, electable or not, Palin at least infuriates the left. The entertainment value of that alone is reason enough to like her.

Writer – you are misreading the left. I don’t know anyone that hates her, I hope she runs and wins the GOP nomination. When her name is brought up most people I know simply roll their eyes and laugh – and that goes for conservatives and well as liberals. She is terrific entertainment.

Why waste time with the part of the news media that won’t ask you the questions that you want them to ask you. The questions that are pre-screened so she has her answers ready?

Sarah Palin will only run if she determines that there’s enough money in it.

SarahP, you’ve really never seen any posts from left wingers on here indicating that they hate Palin? Really? Wow.

Great for her!…Katie Couric is a over priced new york elitist mouth piece….

I got some news for you. Conservatives don’t her to run and behind closed doors do not talk kindly of your girl. The best thing that could happen for Obama is a Palin nomination. Surprised you don’t get that, probably better that way. Then again based on previous comments I shouldn’t be surprised. Go Sarah!

Why are you into Sarah Palin and her personal life? you seem like a stalker type. You must be one lonely desperate person to put so much into someone you dont know or will ever meet.
She has accomplished more then 99% of women out there and then there are jealous idiots like you who try to diminish her accomplishments.. what a loser!

At some point they all will have to stop hiding behind Fox and face some tuff questioning. Every candidate on the right to date is in Fox’s back pocket. If any candidate on the right wants to be a bona fide contender they need to shed the Fox skin and face all the media. If she thinks she can avoid questions by the mainstream media and be elected she must be smoking some Alaskan weed.

It’s true, not many women who are governor quit half-way through there term for some bullshit reason that only half-wits like buy. Good point.

SarahP, I don’t really care if Palin runs or not. But since Obama’s experience consisted of being a community organizer and a senator who mostly just voted ‘present’, I can’t see her being any worse than what we’ve got now.

SARAH MAY BE UNQUALIFIED BUT SHE IS A LITTLE MORE LESS-UNQUALIFIED THAN OBAMA!!!!!!

This is the best endorsement her fans can come up with. It never occurs to them to just drop her and support someone with actual substance.

BFD, I didn’t say I hope Palin runs. Just said that if the choice was between her and Obama, she’d be the better choice. How much ‘substance’ did Obama have? None. He’s an empty suit who was unqualified to be president, but you don’t seem to mind supporting him.

Because you seem to think that Obama is an “empty suit” (isn’t that a bit trite?) you wonder why BFD is supporting him.

Let me guess. He disagrees with you? Just maybe?

Just as Palin disagrees with you, SarahP. See how it works?

That sorry excuse was relevant in 2008 but in 2012 Barack Obama will have had four years experience of President of the United States, the toughest job in the whole damn world.

In 2012 Sarah will have had experience falling up a mountain and clubbing halibut on the head.

Your “experience” argument will be long obsolete by the next presidential election. You will need to think up some new bullshit of why you support her.

Why would I have to come up with reasons why I support her, BFD? You supported Obama before he had the experience. Are only left wingers allowed to do that?

writer said:

Writer – I’m beginning to see how you think, loosely speaking.

Not to mention that she’s is too stupid to be interviewed by anyone other than Sean Hannity. What is he going to ask her that isn’t in the script?

SarahP, it’s not that complicated. Palin is conservative. I’m conservative. Obama is a liberal. You’re a liberal. People tend to support the candidates who shares their views. No big secret.

Brilliant!!!!

Eric, if occasionally getting flummoxed when speaking in public means a person is ‘stupid’, then isn’t Obama ‘stupid’ for pronouncing corps as corpse, or saying that we have fifty-seven states?

This is hilarious. You really don’t understand that the half-term nit wit quit half way through her term to cash in? You really don’t get that. It’s no wonder this idiot sells books. Hilarious!!!

And SarahP, you don’t get that Obama effectively quit his senate term to run for president, just because he didn’t announce he was quitting. Most of his votes were ‘present’, because he wasn’t around enough to know what was going on. I don’t think Palin should have quit, but come on. Barry essentially did the same thing. As for being an ‘idiot’, Obama went to a racist church for twenty years, then said he had no idea Rev. Wright was racist. You’d have to either be a liar or pretty damned stupid not to notice that.

But believing Obama had no idea of Wright’s racism takes a great deal of intelligence, I’m sure.

He was president of the Harvard law review, a 3 term Illinois State Senator and a U.S. Senator.

And he could speak in complete sentences.

That was qualifications enough for me.

Then using that criteria, you should have voted for George W. Bush, since he was the only president to have an MBA from Harvard. (I guess Obama missed class the day they taught that we don’t have fifty-seven states.)

Yesterday it was Gingrich who wouldn’t interview with MSBC – today Palin runs from Katie Couric – guess that Mama Grizzly wannabe is afraid of cute, demure little Katie. What it comes down to is that Palin and Gingrich can’t stand the heat, can’t withstand the examination of real journalists. They’d prefer the softball questions of the FNNC (Fox Not News Channel).

Big_F-ing_Deal said:

Fact: Ozero…. He had all opponents thrown off ballot with technical lies and was only name on ballots when he made it as Illinois Senator second time around when running for an elected office.
Fact: Not able to practice law in Illinois due to fraud case against him.
Fact: Handpicked by socialist progressive handlers for open US Senate seat vacated and didn’t vote in half of votes taken on issues. Voted present. Not Yea or Née on any item of merit.

Hulk Hogan has a reality show. There’s also a celebrity rehab.

It’s foolish to think that you can just play it safe and avoid the “lame steam media.” Only appearing on Fox and preaching the to converted will not win you the popular vote.

The problem isn’t the “gotcha” question, the problem is not being able to answer them with confidence and intelligence. That is how you win over undecided voters.

In Palin’s case it doesn’t even matter. This perpetual victim all ready found her calling.

She really needs to stop playing the victim and ram this head on. You can’t be president or even taken seriously just talking to your base on Hannity. Some of her criticism is justified, some of it is pretty hateful, but she needs to take it all and fuel her to be better than this. Grow a backbone Sarah and TAKE ACTION or I am going to start singing a different tune about you.

BFD, you fucking liar. There’s no way an extreme leftist asshole like you ever supported George W. Bush. Any time someone throws your own hypocrisy back at you, you claim you never thought that way. Liar.

Camille Paglia is one of the very Liberals for whom I have any respect. Although I frequently disagree with her, she seems an intelligent person who unlike Leftists in general, is able to reason, think and defend her beliefs, as opposed to the typical Leftist. The Leftists who can only parrot PMSDNC talking points and call people names.

As most of the media, Ms. Couric appears to be an intellectual bantamweight whose curiosity extends only as far as her ideology. Writing of Ms. Couric in 2009, Professor Paglia had this to say:

“And let me take this opportunity to say that of all the innumerable print and broadcast journalists who have interviewed me in the U.S. and abroad since I arrived on the scene nearly 20 years ago, Katie Couric was definitively the stupidest. As a guest on NBC’s “Today” show during my 1992 book tour, I was astounded by Couric’s small, humorless, agenda-ridden mind, still registered in that pinched, tinny monotone that makes me rush across the room to change stations whenever her banal mini-editorials blare out at 5 p.m. on the CBS radio network. And of course I would never spoil my dinner by tuning into Couric’s TV evening news show. That sallow, wizened, drum-tight, cosmetic mummification look is not an appetite enhancer outside of Manhattan or L.A. There’s many a moose in Alaska with greater charm and pizazz.”

Apparently when interviewed by Katie Couric, Mrs. Palin’s biggest mistake was in expecting SeeBS news would actually have an adult conduct the interview. Seems Mrs. Palin was stunned by being interviewed by a Junior High School journalist.

Perhaps someone misunderstood her when she actually said, “Why time my waste??”

I agree Sarah, don’t waste your time. She might ask a question you don’t have an answer for. It’s sort of like taking a test you know you can’t pass. Why waste your time?
