Media frenzy over Palin e-mail release was unusual even for her

The 13,000 Sarah Palin e-mails released Friday provided little new insight about her time as Alaska’s governor. But the frantic effort to obtain the messages, dissect them and post them online served as a watershed moment for the news media, whose zealous approach will no doubt be replicated on future stories.

The spectacle on Friday was unusual even for Palin, who is known for her ability to inspire a media frenzy.

I wonder when these people are going to pour through Anthony Penis’s twitters...

ABC had a story about her e-mails tonight and they all made her look great! LOL If they were hoping for dirt, I think they will be mightily disappointed.

I think you got that backwards.

Just had the misfortune of watching the ABC newscast. They had a piece on the emails, spinning it negatively of course. The “best” thing they came up with was about Sarah vs. Moochelle on heathly eating etc. Sarah brought cookies to a high school, yada, yada yada.

Apparently Sarah asked in an email about low carb/no sugar foods for her kids at one point.
O the humanity!

Somebody by the name of Rosen, admits there was a *bit of an overkill* -—ROTFL.

YA THINK?

TOO BAD THEY CAME UP EMPTY, HUH?

Not really given the highly anticipated release of the upcoming movie and her successful bus tour. The MSMers were trying to slow any momentum she may have going into a possible announcement.

This event clearly illustrates the media’s psychotic obsession with her.

I don’t know why this is such a shock. Her lawyers went through every e-mail and approved the ones that were released. Why would liberals think there was any smoking gun. Sarah is laughing her butt off on this nonsense.

I’ve read his stuff from time to time.

Maybe ABC should be checking out the latest videos of Michelle my Belle pigging out on garbage..Michelle is the BIGGEST hypocrite when it comes to healthy eating..

Did Moochelle steal the idea of healthy eating from Sarah - hoping some of the luster would rub off on herself?!!

She has nothing of her own to make herself look important.

After this email fiasco, I think all of the morons in the state run “media” should turn themselves in to “rehab” with The Weiner. They are all sickos.

[Bigtigermike]

That’s not true....her lawyer requested that nothing be retracted. The only ones retracted were ones that involved client-lawyer business privileges

Another Al Capone’s vault.

The hard left who hates the entire history of America because America's cultural basis has always been the Judeo/Christian world view.

The hard left sees Palin as 'one of those people'.

One of what people?

One of those people whose world view holds back the far left's utopia of utter darkness which hates the God of the Bible.

The lib media are made to look like fools and so they are all now writing it as if they are innocent ombudsman. It was not them you see, it was the other media hacks that were overzealous.

Too funny.

Future stories on whom? If the MSM applied 1/10th the scrutiny that they've given Palin to that commie in the WH he'd still be filling out bogus voter registration forms in Chicago. What a crock!
