ABC News' Sheila Marikar reports:
Sarah Palin isn't relying on the media to tell the story of her "One Nation" tour.
Today, she posted a statement on SarahPAC.com alluding to the media's focus on her unconventional interpretation of Paul Revere's midnight ride. She also posted her own clip reel of highlights from her visits to the Northeast's historic sites.
"Even though the media too often sadly chose soundbites over substance, they did get lots of substance during our 'One Nation' tour from the nearly two dozen opportunities I got to speak candidly with them and talk about policy, politics, history and everything in between," she wrote. "Not surprising, some members of the media missed a lot of this due to their relentless and futile search for scuttlebutt. So, we assembled this video to capture the amazing Americana spirit of the places and people we visited."
Palin emphasized that "we'll keep moving forward ... and we'll keep reporting on it ourselves."

I love it. She’s just pounding the media in the head with a crowbar.
Fascinating. The link above goes to an article titled "Sarah Palin's Account of Paul Reveres Midnight Ride Gets Shot Down By Historians".
But historians in other articles have actually confirmed that Gov. Palin's account is factual.
Byline is "By SHEILA MARIKAR" - it looks like we have yet another MSM member with PDS....
She needs to sue them mercilessly. Yes the bar is high for public figures vs. the media but as the Nat. Enquirer can attest, the media can and does lose. She has airtight cases against every MSM media outlet for the crap she and her family have endured since 08. I just hope to God she sues them, wins and sends the message that she won’t keep putting up with it before the 2012 ‘silly season’ gets into full swing.
Since she isn’t being a ‘conventional’ lay down and die Republican, I think it’s possible.
I doubt she will sue them. Court cases are long, tedious, and expensive. Besides, since Sarah is a Christian, she probably lives by this verse:
“Vengeance is MINE, I WILL repay, saith the Lord.”
But it isn’t just for her. It would be for the country as well ... to put the fear of God in them to knock off the (occasionally illegal and always damaging) crap. She only need sue for court costs and a VERY public apology. That would ‘cost’ them far more than a Billion dollar settlement.
Never the less, it’s just a dream I have ;)
(((ping-a-ling)))
That is how Reagan won. He made us feel good about ourselves and our country. This is how you win an election and if she keeps this up, there is no reason why she couldn't sweep the primaries, then the general next year.
She has my total support -- my time, my money, any skills of that I have that she can utilize. She is MY candidate.
ewps! In my post above I talking about the video she made, not the article!
“We are advancing constantly and we’re not interested in holding onto anything except the enemy. We’re going to hold onto him by the nose and we’re going to kick him in the ass. We’re going to kick the hell out of him all the time and we’re going to go through him like crap through a goose!” -General George S. Patton
Go Sarah Go!
Name one other country that has put that idea into it's way of life? We care for the the sick, the huddled masses, the tired and the poor and we treat them as equals, we have the rule of LAW and it treats all men as equals.
I wish we could ping every article.
GonzoII posts with perfect format, but he knows a similar was already pinged.
Actually I don't remember now. But I do check and see if the same article has been posted then generally look to see if a similar article has already been posted, and if the one I'm thinking about posting has a different take then I post it. No intention to overshadow anyone's threads.
Describes her attitude PERFECTLY!
And Sun Tzu too!
[She has my total support ]
Ditto. In poker terms, I’m ‘all in’.
Sorry about that. I get on when I can and it depends how much time I have to check out the posts. When I see one, I try to ping you if I don’s see you pinging. Want me to stop? ;-}
Absolutely not! I love your pings! I miss a lot of Sarah articles!
