Sarah Palin got to take another jab at the “lamestream media” on Tuesday after The Washington Post issued an embarrassing correction on a false report that the former Fox News commentator is joining Al Jazeera.
The Washington Post’s attention-grabbing mea culpa followed reporter Suzi Parker’s claim that Palin signed a deal to be a host and commentator for the Qatari-based network.
Parker had called the faux-scoop “a cautionary tale about what can happen with politics and celebrity meet.”
The story became a cautionary tale of another sort, however, when it emerged that the “news” came from The Daily Currant, a satirical website.
“The blogger cited a report on the Daily Currant Web site as the basis for that information without realizing that the piece was satirical,” The Washington Post said in its correction.
Sarah Palin – a longtime media critic who popularized the term “lamestream media” – didn’t wait long before smacking the newspaper for its mistake on Twitter: “Hey @washingtonpost, I'm having coffee with Elvis this week. He works at the Mocha Moose in Wasilla. #suziparkerscoops #idiotmedia”...

Yep, I think I saw him when I was in there for a sandwich a while back. Hard to tell with the big shades, though...
Nice try at throwing it back on me.
Worked pretty good, since "whore" was your term, not mine.
That's strictly hypothetical ~ they gave all their money to the Algore anyway.
The story today was so notorious that anyone's attempt at subtle nuance must necessarily be overlooked ~ so I'm sticking to the lede.
Shouldn’t you be working on those entry-level graphics, cher?
Are you short a chromosome?
Shouldn't you be staying off Palin threads like you were asked, if I'm remembering correctly?
I expected better of you.
I expect nasty smears from hg, but you?
No, not short a chromosome, but well versed in logic, even in your bizarro world.
Tell you what, we'll go out to her next rally, and you go out, and we'll see who she waves to ~ I bet I get all the waves ~
I don't think you like Sarah very much at all.
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
It’s actually still a WashPostParker story ~ Sarah didn’t do anything ~ the Posties continued to lie.
Nice try, little buddy.
I’ve been a Palin fan way before most here knew of her. Still am.
I think you want it to drift though ~ right?
I try, I really do..
How about you try to stay off threads with me on 'em?
And focus on your virgin graphic operation?
Tell you what, I let MANY Palin-fawning threads pass me by.
I sure do. Hold my tongue. Walk away. True story.
Do YOU make any similar efforts towards civility?
No? You just flame away and to hell with it all?
Well, when you exercise some restraint, Bucky-boy, then you may advise me to do the same.
I think you want it to drift though ~ right?
I was referring to your post #8, which referenced hg’s post #3.
While hg did not call her a whore, he certainly stated as a possibility that Palin could go work for Al Jazeera if the $$ were big enough, implying that she’s greedy enough to go work for the enemy.
You concurred.
If that’s not what you meant, then clarify your post. That’s all.
Well done!
You improve with each effort.
Keep it up until the library closes.
So obvious how badly she has taken up residence in their heads. Bwahaha
