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

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?”
