“Howard Kurtz”
Well...that’s as far as I got...
Why do you post this slop? Do you have an agenda or just want to flood this site with left wing trash?
Fighting fire with fire ... Way to go, Sarah.
“Fourth estate” indeed. The press does not get to claim to speak for the people anymore, since what they do best is shill for the left.
What they fear? That the people and the reps they are electing will not bother to talk to them anymore- why should they?
In fairness, Mansour is sometimes responding to strong, harsh, or inaccurate criticism of Palin. On the phone, for journalists who manage to reach her, Mansour can be friendly, personable, and funny. Even her online barbs are sometimes laced with humorous overstatement. But her us-against-them mentality seems to provide a window on the worldview of a politician, both loved and loathed, who often acts like she is under siege.
And that is because Palin IS under siege. The lamestream media still seems to think they are the only relevant media source that the public will trust. They are, in fact, a Triassic species that has no clue they have already locked into place their own extinction.
Ex-Hollywood screen writer? If Palin wants to get elected she should ditch her “advisor” and get someone who was never remotely associated with Hollywood.
Then why is she being criticized for making an 8 minute video and going on Hannity to do exactly that? Do these people live in a parallel universe?
The first sentence is ridiculous
the pundits and press have had a gleeful field day attacking Sarah’s defense of herself from their blood libel
Kurtz has jumped the halibut..
I think Mansour is very, very good and a real weapon for Palin. But she should not be managing her press message, speaking out, even on twitter, or interacting with the press directly.
Palin needs a real pro for that. Too bad Mary M. is still with The Serpent Head. I could see augmenting her team with someone like that, Liz Cheney would be great if she could rope her in too. She needs some contacts with the political press who are already experienced with them on the national level.
Believe me, I understand the cause for wariness if not paranoia when dealing with the Washington GOP Establishment, but she can’t chase them all into her opposition camps for the primaries and have no press glad-hander and handler for establishing a better relationship with them, biased as they are.
An announcement to run is really her last chance to reset her relationship with the press, and it needs to be rolled out with a professional team that will work effectively with the MSM. (And yes, the use of ‘Lamestream Media’ probably has to be retired for the Palin camp as well.)
I want to see all this (and the secret service protection that could come with an early announcement), in maybe three or four weeks. Once the current uproar dies down, but before too long.
I like Rebecca Mansour. Follow her on twitter.
I think I'm in love.
Like all the rabid Obamamaniacs have met The Obozo.
For years I’ve said the Republicans need to track down James Carvile’s evil twin and hire him.
Well, whoever it was that impersonated her in her 8-minute video and the interview on Hannity sure did a fine job.
I love this. They will not take the BS.
