Oh FOR GAWD SAKES

in fact i hope she does do it when she becomes President!!

Fact: Ozero’s beer summit!

the list IS crap, sky, but not for the reason you say. basically, most of the things on the list just aren’t disasters.

erm, Jan Brewer forgetting what she was going to say? wow, how totally embarrassing…not. Sarah Palin writes on her hand? bam–media implosion! are you serious? these are what you call “media disasters”?

that’s WORSE than Sarah writing on her hand!

I never have understood why Sarah Palin writing a note on her hand is somehow so much worse than a president who is totally dependent on a teleprompter and who sounds like a stammering stoner without one.

Also, a small note about this list. Of the ten people on it five are republicans and two are democrats. Little bias on display there, guys? Or are the democrats just so…superior?

skyfet said:

I think the list wasn’t explained enough, it’s not about the media personalities, it’s about how people made glaring errors with the media. See, the person who wrote it does a media training blog. It should have been the ten biggest media screw ups or ten worst spokespeople or something like that. I think most were looking for FOX NEWS this or MSNBC that, but it wasn’t about them.

Well, it has a lot to do with the fact that a teleprompter isn’t new. It’s been around for a long time, and just about every president has used them. Thus, Barack ain’t different from Bush or Clinton, or Reagan, etc. And do you remember how Bush was without a teleprompter. The point is not so much that she used her hand, it was what was written on her hand. Only three things. Now, imagine a teleprompter that just said those three things. We would be all over that. These were three things that of course she was going to talk about or to do, but she had to write those on her hand. Now, getting on stage, you do tend to forget things, and I can see having to write little notes on your hand to keep you on track, but alas the perspective was that she couldn’t remember to talk about taxes or to lift American spirits in a political speech. See the difference?

Not really a disaster from a media spokesperson or how to deal with the media point of view. In fact, that’s considered to be how you handle the media, with confidence. So, it doesn’t count.

Didn’t happen in front of a media. Yes, it was a mistake, absolutely, but doesn’t fit into the parameters of this list.

No list without Alan Grayson should be taken seriously. That guy could have held the top 3 spots.

And where’s Helen Thomas? I know you folks at Mediaite worship her, but she did suffer a career-ending self-inflicted injury. Kinda seems relevant in this context, don’t you think? That was far more newsworthy than either Palin or Biden’s non-scandals.

Yes, Helen Thomas definitely deserves to be up there. That was a huge gaffe. And probably cost her her job. I wonder if they avoided actual media personalities on this list. Though Helen Thomas is huge because she should know better.

Said that earlier, he did a poor job of what the list was about. Since he runs a media training blog and I believe media training in general, it was about non-media figures who screwed up in front of the cameras and cost them something, or just made a glaring error in standards set forth by a lot of these people who train non-media personalities how to act or behave or what have you in front of cameras. That’s what I got from these, and also from who created the list. Most of these were the obvious gaffe. Forgetting that the cameras are rolling or the microphone was on or something to that nature. Saying something wrong, not showing confidence with what was being said. I think that’s what the list is supposed to be.

Though not a fan of “Dancing with the Stars,” I don’t think it counts as a media disaster at least with this list. The commercial with the Situation is closer to a media disaster. And not so much because of Bristol in particular, just the whole commercial was a train wreck, including the writing, the directing and the principles.

Let me guess, you too have been dumbed down by the propaganda on FoxPAC. Two examples will put your claim about Obama sounding “like a stammering stoner) to rest (along with the hundred of other false claims you hear on FoxPAC propaganda channel. 1) He didn’t use notes on the campaign trail until just before the election, and he didn’t stammer. 2) He didn’t use notes or teleprompter during his give and take at the Republican retreat when he out-wonked them and wiped their ideas off the floor.

I don’t think that this list is crap, but showing Beck lying through his teeth any one of the dozen times that he has this year should have made this list.

skyfet said:

Like your brain, it doesn’t exist.

I am the author of this post, and wanted to address a point a few of you have raised. This list is indeed restricted to on-camera “media gaffes” of 2010. If you visit the Mr. Media Training site directly, you may better understand the context of these selections. And posters here are right that many other people could have made the list, from Ben Quayle and Glenn Beck to Alvin Greene and Harry Reid.

As for Sarah Palin making the list, I included her because that handwriting moment was emblematic of a larger debate taking place throughout the nation: whether or not she has the intellectual heft to be president. Those on the left used that moment to to reinforce their view that she doesn’t; those on the right were more likely to believe that moment was a media creation.

Finally, those of you who mentioned Helen Thomas’ gaffe are right. She committed a huge gaffe. She would be at number 11 if the list continued. She didn’t make the list only because her journalistic impact was slight at the end of her career.

Thanks to all of you for reading and commenting. I appreciate the smart dissenting voice many of you have offered.

It is amazing to me, Art and Hugo, that she would have to write down what she said. She didn’t say anything of substance. Nothing complex. Every politician dishes drivel (or, should I say dribble) from time-to-time, to be sure, but that is something that he or she has to think about? I imagine if she proposed to Todd, and some say she did, what was on her hand?

WHAT A SHILL HACK JOB OF A MEDIA ANALYSIS!!! #10 (The Sarah Palin palm-writing “disaster”), is probably the most revealing. What … no mention of Barack Obama’s religious dependence on teleprompters? He campaigned on transparency, but it appears that Sarah Palin is more transparent. What about Obama’s pronunciation of “corps” (aka “corpse” to our CIC!)???? Sarah Palin showed her own “teleprompter” to the world. At least you know what her sources are. We have the most ill-equipped, skillset-lacking president in our history who attempts to script his every move, and even then he can’t correctly pronounce a basic English word. No criticism of Palin’s content. Brad, try some objectivity here!

wlv said:

I’m a bit confused by your comment, especially since the highest ranking U.S. politician on the list is a Democrat (Bob Etheridge, at number three). Vice President Biden’s gaffe also made the list.

If you become a regular reader of the Mr. Media Training Blog – and I hope you do – you’ll notice rather quickly that I don’t hesitate to take shots at both sides when warranted. I’ve written tough articles about President Obama (regarding the mosque controversy and his golf game during the B.P. crisis), and have praised Republicans (such as last week’s high rating of Marco Rubio’s communications skills).

So when Palin uses her “teleprompter” it’s okay.
When Obana uses his teleprompter, it’s not okay.
Got it.

Personally, I don’t care if any politician uses a teleprompter. If Palin wants to use a teleprompter for her next press conference, go nuts. But no politician should be writing on their palms.

Brad, may I suggest another “media disaster”? After waiting WEEKS to even bother to respond to the oil crisis, the Obama administration has Rahm Emanuel holding a press conference to publicly criticize Tony Hayward for going on a vacation with his son during the spill. Of course, President Obama can’t be at the presser because … HE’S ON THE GOLF COURSE!

I really don’t get this irrational criticism of Sarah Palin. Some of you are really stretching to attempt to demean her intelligence. She’s far more experienced of an executive than Barack Obama was, and if you look at it objectively, she’s every bit as articulate and intelligent as he is. More importantly to me, she has about 1000% more business acumen than Obama does.

But I still can’t get over this glossing over of Obama’s mispronunciation of “corps”. This guy is the Commander in Chief!!! And he is obviously phonetically following his teleprompter.

No, Redleaf. You don’t get it. I have no problem with anyone using a teleprompter of any type … Obama’s or Palin’s. Who cares if she uses her palm? You’re addressing style instead of substance.

I just wonder why Palin would make this top 10 list exclusively because she uses her palm (instead of another type of teleprompter), when our CIC uses the same “crutch”, and MISPRONOUNCES A WORD THAT IS BASIC TO HIS FUNCTION AS CIC. If you want to address the intelligence of potential POTUS contenders, how could Obama’s lexicon gaffe not make this list?

I never understood the appeal of Palin, other than she hates what you hate and she drives liberals batty.
If a liberal presidential candidate had a family like Palin’s, we’d never heard the end of it from Conservatives.

Brad’s comment: I’m a bit confused by your comment, especially since the highest ranking U.S. politician on the list is a Democrat (Bob Etheridge, at number three). Vice President Biden’s gaffe also made the list.

Brad, you’re using anecdotes to try to make a broad point. Barack Obama’s assault on the pronunciation of a word that is core to his function as Commander in Chief is noteworthy. And he was reading from his teleprompter when he mispronounced the word … multiple times.

My point is that you’re making a partisan leap by linking Palin’s fitness for POTUS to her admittedly crude teleprompter, while apparently ignoring a clearly intellectual and substantial gaffe by Obama. He apparently gets a pass from you because of the type of teleprompter he uses?

Brad, you have to admit, there is a clear media bias toward Obama and against Palin. I see it breaking down finally – after 2 + years. It’s taking longer than I thought it would. Palin is a favorite target, and people are straining at the proverbial gnat to find reasons to criticize her. She’s held to a different standard. I spent 25 years in the media … believe me, the bias is culturally inculcated. I’m just sayin’ …

Fact: Sometimes the writers at Mediaite get ahead of themselves and don’t put in the research to write a good article on the subject at hand and so that they really missed the mark on the item they put out there! I see as it is just plain insane in the membrane or like not fully reading the instructions before planting the item. Sometimes when planting the bulbs that you plant you might first read how to place the bulbs in the soil and which direction you plant them right side up, so sometimes instead of the wrong side up or you waste your time and nothing grows from the soil but weeds! That’s the fact as I see it! Plus all you lefties are always out of touch on all postings you write! That’s also the fact for Arthur (Not a Political Comic) and that is fuck clarification for you!

Pablo says:

redleaf, I’m no fan of Sarah Palin. I kind of like her rather pragmatic and practical approach to certain business matters, and I really respect her independence, and her apathy toward her critics. To me, Barack Obama was the least-qualified candidate for POTUS I have ever seen. Sarah Palin is not far behind Obama. I’m a Romney fan myself. Yes, he’s not perfect. But I prefer his proven business track record to anyone else’s. I just think this fixation on Sarah Palin is downright unhealthy. The media has shown a clear double standard toward both people … favoring Obama, and denigrating Palin. I left the industry in July 2009. I could tell you stories of colleagues who were willing to go to great lengths to protect Obama’s chances to be elected.

If the teleprompter is so commonplace and everyone knows that all politicians use it, then why have numerous trembling paeans been written by weepy Democrats extolling the never before seen oratorical skills of B Obama? Point of fact, Bush was better without a teleprompter in general. It was when he misread or mispronounced a word on the teleprompter that Lefties laughed like hyenas. Obama’s vaunted skills conversely, became less heroic when he foolishly ventured off script or attempts to deal with tough questions asked of him. Youtube is replete with comical examples.

Clearly it does not make your list because to the Left Obama is self evidently a genius which is an article of faith accepted uncritically and as such these things arent important, whereas when its someone from the GOP misspeaking its conclusive proof of defects in their intelligence.

No, you moron; I didn’t lie. You changed your anchor text destination. I don’t have to prove this; it’s right in the comments for people to click on and see that what I wrote was accurate.

I still think that when the President’s critics have to resort to his stammering a little bit in a speech (after 8 years of Bush butchering the language) is just comic and desperate.

Damn, plebe, find something of substance to hit Obama on. I’ll give you an example something substantial that Beck and I agree on. If you actually follow the link as I have been yours, you should know that a judge has backed Obama on this assassination order. Hopefully the ACLU will take it to the SCOTUS.

I’ve never understood people being so upset with Tony Hayward. It was obvious from the first he didn’t like being out front. He would rather work behind the scene. He appears to prefer technical discussions rather than many of the onslaught of media questions that require a far different response than technical.
I got the feeling the unspoken intent of his answer was to say, “We can’t know all these things yet. we’re hurrying as quickly as we can to find answers. After all, we want our lives back too.” He just isn’t gifted as a PR person.

Hmmm; I didn’t expect you to admit it. That’s understandable; you’re not on my list of sophisticated reactionaries. Oh, right, that a null list. In fact, sophisticated reactionary is a contradiction in terms.

Does Glenn Beck really give you a chubby? Cause I didn’t know you were gay, not that there’s anything wrong with that. You just don’t seem confident enough to come out this way. Really, you should tell him: glennbeck@foxnews.com. I’m sure he’d get one reading about you, but I really don’t give a damn about you or your confusion.

Nice going, Tumbleweed. You just insulted our base.

I think what ROCKSTEADY is trying to say is that young people (22 year olds included) are the future and the force for change. It’s the over 35 crowd we don’t like.

Have I named myself after him? No, dear mental patient, that was you. You suck at this.

Seriously though, and with all due respect, your whole Glenn Beck obsession is coming off as a little fruity. I mean, why do you have his email address?

The ten worst media disasters were:
1. New York Times
2. MSNBC
3. NBC
4. CBS
5. CNN
6. ABC
7. Washington Post / Newsweek
8. Time
9. USA Today
10. Los Angeles Times

Honorable mention:
The Guardian
BBC
al Jazeera

How about Mediaite refusing the cover the secret Fed bailout — to the tune of $16 BILLION DOLLARS — made to MSNBC’s parent company. That cover-up must make any short list of media disasters for the year?

Have I? Does the word Review mean anything to you?

Just as Tommy expects more from liberal commentators and personalities in the Media, I, too expect more from people here who I generally agree with.

King, you don’t apparently understand the danger this hole is to Americans. If you honestly I’m “obsessed” about Beck, then you don’t understand Beck well. My “obsession,” your misused word, is focus on the most alarming media personality of my lifetime. My “obsession” is matched by nearly a dozen other people with blogs devoted to debunking Beck.

It’s not “obsession,” real royal pain in the ass, it’s focus, like sunlight through a magnifying glass. I aim to shine an intense light on Beck to expose him. Luckily, Beck ignorantly addresses lots of subjects, so the focus is as broad as the variety of subjects Beck misunderstands.

To answer your queer question, I e-mailed Beck when I started The Glenn Beck Review to let him know that I’m out here putting a boot up his ass, and it’s not a tough address to remember.

Royal Pain in the Ass, maybe you should contact others alarmed at Beck’s stupification of his minions, and tell them how “fruity” they come off. While I’m on it, let me assure you that your comments will be mocked when it seems appropriate. In other words, I detect a little projection on your part in the fruit department. Buck up chump; you have a new critic (just what the right loves: liberals at each other’s throats). Good job their Royal!

Damn, I need a proof-readerr. Make that, Good job there Royal!

“And while we’re at it, Joe Biden could fill a Top 10 list all by himself.”

That’s why Biden was picked. He is the President’s assassination insurance. O bama learned this strategy from Bush and Bush. No one wanted their VP’s to be in charge (although in the latter’s case, it came pretty close to that in the first term.

didn’t see Madelline Albright telling the Jews to all go home to Poland and Germany. Or was that LAST year?

Thats because it was Helen Thomas, former White House correspondent, not Madeline Albright former Secy of State.

Biden’s comment didn’t overshadow the bill passage and signing. Thanks for providing no evidence!

10. Sarah Palin Scribbles on Her Hand
Oh FOR GAWD SAKES
she can scribble whatever she wants on her hand

Seems like a bit of stretching to get her on the list.

I thought Barry Soetero’s dragging along two teleprompters for a talk to a bunch of fourth-graders was so ridiculous it should have made the top TEN, easily above Palin writing something on her hands. Mr. Palmer left out a couple more Obama booboos—using a teleprompter instead of writing on one’s hand lends The Won an element of grandiosity, or even silly overkill, whereas Sarah looking at her hand, no big deal. Palmer isn’t as ‘objective’ as he tries to appear or Obama would have made an appearance.
