Sarah Palin's Enforcer: Meet Rebecca Mansour
The Daily Beast ^ | 1/19/2011 | Howard Kurtz

Posted on 01/20/2011 7:36:36 AM PST by ironman

The right’s favorite lightning rod doesn’t bother defending herself against critics. That job falls to Rebecca Mansour, an ex-Hollywood screenwriter with sharp teeth.

A Lebanese American who grew up in Michigan, Mansour, who is in her mid-thirties, is a former Hollywood screenwriter who felt so strongly about Palin—whom she’d never met—that she founded the website Conservatives4Palin. Originally hired to help with Palin’s famous Facebook page, Mansour says on her Twitter feed that she is speaking only for herself. But she whacks Palin’s detractors with such thumb-in-the-eye passion as to make her boss seem downright diplomatic.

There are the “puppy-kickers” and “porn producers” at Politico. The “liar” at the Associated Press who said Palin provided no press access on her visit to Haiti except for Fox News. The “semi-literate buffoons at MSNBC.” The “mouth-breathing loon” Aaron Sorkin. The Maureen Dowd column that chided Palin for shooting a caribou on her TLC show that was “so stupid I thought it came from The Onion.”

Real Indpendents or left wing Democrats who registered as Independents?

Ha—cute! “Legacy Media” might suffice as well.

I appreciate knowing there is someone who feels passionate about her beliefs enough to be calling out the liars and the frauds.

What part of the article is slop?

LOL. I picked up a “dude” hitch hiking to Los Angeles. I said “Where you going, Los Angeles.” He looked at me with a blank state. After a few moments I said: “LA?” He relaxed back in his seat and said: “Yeah”.

There is a very clear delineation of media these days.

Old Media and New Media.

That is the best way to describe the media in this political age.

Terms like lame stream media, enemeida etc may be fine for talk shows etc, but will only distract if used to describe the two poles.

Yes, except old and new media refer more to traditional and electronic (digital interactive) media formats, rather than traditional and newer media organizations.
