Palin's Internet Interview
Ace of Spades HQ — Palin's Internet Interview With John Ziegler of HowObamaGotElected.com. I don't like this interview. I was trying to figure out why. I think I know. Even though it's interesting to know about Palin's reaction to her mistreatment by the media, I think we are now getting well oversaturated on such personal stuff. It's too much the Heroine's Tale, which is nice and all, but we're ultimately looking for a leader, not someone with a tale of hardship. The media screwed her -- this is obvious. Maybe she should just move past such questions -- not letting them off the hook, but also not dwelling on them -- and make her interviewers focus on substantive, political questions. I, of course, ...

Sarah Palin Does Her Own Post-Mortem
Politics Daily — Filed under: 2008 President, Sarah PalinThis is the most comprehensive interview I've seen. Lessons she's learned? Obviously the media double standard. Democratic families are the only ones off limits. But the big one is about political consultants and her own political instincts. She should follow her gut on most things and I think she's learned that one now. She basically, and without naming names, said the Katie Couric interview was a stupid move, and going back for more was incomprehensible. Also, that from this and exeriences she is not afraid of interviews at all. Expect to ...

RIGHTWINGSPARKLE — Because we haven't had any for awhile here. John Ziegler writes about his experiences meeting with Sarah Palin: One of the things you quickly learn when you visit the Palins is that the legend that has been created around who they are and how they live is no myth. It appears to be absolutely real and everything about them seems 100% sincere. From the stuffed hunting trophies on the wall, to the Track’s military photo by the TV set, to Piper’s crayon school projects on the kitchen cabinets, everything is exactly as you imagine it might be. What was particularly ...

Palin to Couric: You're Not the Center of the Universe
News — Palin to Couric: You're Not the Center of the Universe Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) blasted the media for perpetuating "gossip and lies" about her during her vice presidential campaign, taking aim at CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric in particular for having asked which newspapers she reads. "Katie, you're not the center of everybody's universe," Palin responded in an interview with a conservative documentarian to Couric's asking why no media organization had followed up on Couric's question to Palin this fall on which news sources Palin follows. "Maybe that's why they didn't think to ask that question–because there are so many others to be asked," Palin added. Palin also said ...

Palin Says Media Would Have Treated Her Differently If She Were Democratic Running Mate
CNSNews.com Headlines — (CNSNews.com) In an interview with documentary filmmaker John Ziegler, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin said the media would have loved her if she were running as vice president on the Democratic ticket. I think they would have loved me as a candidate, and I ve already lived through that more on a local level, Palin said. There have been times where here in Alaska, I ve taken on my own Republican Party when there has been corruption. The mainstream media here in Alaska, they ve loved me through those episodes. And then though the minute that I have done something that is back to the conservative roots that s when the mainstream media here in Alaska, they turn on you. So there s ...

Bonus Quote of the Day
Taegan Goddard's Political Wire — "I knew it didn't go well the first day and then we gave her a couple of other segments after that. And my question to the campaign was, after it didn't go well the first day, why were we going to go back for more? Because of however it works in that upper echelon of power brokering in the media and with spokespersons, it was told to me that, yeah, we are going to go back for more. And going back for more was not a wise decision either." ...

NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — Documentarian John Ziegler has posted at Andrew Breitbart's new website Big Hollywood a fabulous video of an interview he did Monday with Gov. Sarah Palin (embedded right).

In his article about his meeting with Palin, Ziegler offered his own castigation of the press's abysmal performance during the 2008 presidential campaign: I also know, with moral certitude, that the media assassination of her, ...

Palin: Caroline Kennedy Gets Free Pass From Media
The Huffington Post | Full News Feed — Several people have directed me today to the raw video of an interview of Sarah Palin, conducted by John Ziegler, last seen losing his mind at Nate Silver over a weird poll he conducted with myriad foundational logic deficiencies. It's a wide ranging discussion, primarily focuses on the way Palin feels she was treated by the media, which is all she ever talks about anymore. One of the more trenchant moments (in fact, the only trenchant moment) comes late in the interview, when Palin is invited to make a comparison between herself and Caroline Kennedy. Basically, Palin seems to think that "class bias" is enabling favorable coverage of the New York Senate ...

No More Mister Nice Blog — LIKE FROST/NIXON, BUT WITH A SOCK PUPPET IN PLACE OF FROST I think Sarah Palin has finally found her voice -- her bitter, resentful, put-upon voice. We heard that voice in her Republican convention speech, and in some of her campaign appearances, but she struggled in interviews, and never really came close to finding that truly aggrieved, persecuted note. But now -- freed from the rigors of actually having to try to communicate with non-Dittoheads -- Palin has given a lengthy interview to John Ziegler, the right-wing propagandist pollster and filmmaker responsible for the forthcoming Media Malpractice ...

AK-Gov: First Serious Opponent for Palin Signs On
Daily Kos — The seemingly invulnerable Sarah Pipeline has her first challenger at the plate: Democrat Bob Poe, the former Alaska State Commissioner of Administration and former CEO of Anchorage Economic Development Corporation, said Wednesday he will announce tomorrow that he intends to seek the Democratic nomination for governor of Alaska. Poe is viewed as a serious, viable candidate by state Democrats, though there are some other candidates that could derail Poe's bid to unseat Palin. Poe lacks statewide name recognition unlike a candidate such as Ethan Berkowitz, the Democrat who came close to defeating Rep. Don Young (R-Alaska) this past November. ...

Palin's Back
DownWithTyranny! — Yesterday on KCRW's Left, Right and Center Arianna Huffington was exasperated during a discussion of the intricacies of Obama's soon-to-be trillion dollar stimulus package. Although the majority of the country favors it and trusts him to do the right thing, Arianna feels there should be an informed national discussion. She's right. And what's preventing it? She says it's the mass media's obsession with cheap celebrity news, particularly the unending silliness around Alaska's and Illinois' fifth rate governors and Palin's tawdry brood of miscreants. Palin, of course is drumming up as much publicity as she can, as it is now a ...

Media Attacks on Sarah Palin-Her View-A Video
No Holds Barred--Political Opinions — Was the Media obsessed with destroying Sarah Palin? Were they afraid of Her? Why was the "All Out Assault" on Sarah, more-so than McCain? Simple--Sarah was/is a breath of fresh air to so many, her downhome attitude could and would be embraced by many, many from every walk of life, and not limited to "Any" Political Party. Being a "Blue Collar" woman, coming from a blue collar family and married to-yes-a blue collar man, she has had to deal with several problems that your typical citizen has had to deal with, this alone would appeal to many (Kinda Like "One Of Us"). This was the reason for the "All Out" war waged by numerous members of the Media, to dis-credit ...
