WTF? Symbiotic?
actually theres some truth to it. The media loved her, pre-vice presidential pick, but turned on her since, not because of the troopergate, but because she’s such a threat to obama
Yeah ... symbiotic as a cancer tumor...
“Palin had become so suspicious of the media that she rejected hundreds of requests by even friendly reporters to interview her,” Ronald Kessler wrote on Newsmax.com earlier this month. “Her press aides say that before considering interviews, she insists that they comb through reporters’ work, even if they write for a friendly, conservative publication.”
WHAT A GREAT ADVICE!!!! GOP LISTEN UP!!! Don’t listen to those who say, make friends with the media. Its the worst advice ever. Always comb thru he reporters work before doing any interviews. Its called researching your enemies before you enter the battle
>>>The heated tenor that Palin employed to lash out at the press and others who she said were “hell-bent on tearing down our nation,” was the exclamation point on a dramatic turnaround in her relationship with the media, which had once been something close to symbiotic.<<<
~~~WTF? Symbiotic?~~~~
Actually, the guy has a good point. I speak as someone who was in the Alaska print media for many years. Before her selection as vice-president, Palin had a good relationship with the media. She was open and honest, and had the ability to speak well off the cuff. Of course, Alaska is really the world’s largest small village, and everyone knows everyone - the annual meeting of the newspaper reporters and editors in the state took place in a small auditorium. This also means that the meanspirited SOBs occupying key positions in lower 48 cities and states, normally protected by a large population and anonymity, get ratted out quickly around here.
When she was selected for vice-president, though, the allegience of the Alaska media for the Democrats and leftist causes trumped “local girl does good.” In fact, it looked like the media and local Democrat hacks used the nomination to make a name for themselves smearing Sarah with phony stories and imaginary ethics complaints.
The only good thing about Sarah’s rise to fame is that now we know where a good number of the local media outlets and personnel stand when it comes to judgment and ideology.
A good speech, too. I watched Sarah in her early years in Wasilla, and I knew she was destined for great things. She’s just creating a new trail for her ascent.
That one jumped out at me too. When exactly did Palin have a "symbiotic" relationship with the media?
Within days of her VP nomination, these people were hinting that Trig was really her granddaughter, openly suggesting (idiotically) that Palin had caused Trig's Downs Syndrome by flying while pregnant, and scouring the back alleys of Alaska looking for any more rumors they could find about her.
The media HATED this woman from day one for her political views, for her many children, and most of all for her public rejection of the abortion option. They have done nothing but attack her and facilitate other attacks on her.
"Symbiotic"? My ass.
