NPR, MSNBC, Current TV Fleeing From Anti-Palin Random House Hoax Bio; McGinnis Claims Cover-Up
Big Journalism ^ | Monday September 26, 2011 | Joel Polleck

Joe McGinniss complained to lefty blog Firedoglake yesterday that almost everyone is canceling interviews in which he was to have discussed his book, The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin:

Terry Gross [of NPR's Fresh Air] has declined to have me on her show. As have all other NPR shows. My fifteen seconds as part of a report on All Things Considered is all I get from NPR. I’m told they are scared of losing more federal funding if right wing Congresspeople complain that they are “promoting” my book.

FYI, both Morning Joe and Keith Olbermann had me booked for last week, but canceled when they saw which way the wind was blowing.

Go back to the original McGinniss thread from two weeks ago about his unsubstantiated allegations, and you will find about 10-15 of FR's most notorious PDS'ers lapping it all up and declaring his garbage to be the end of Palin. It was pretty disgusting, and quite frankly, the whole smarmy gang should have been zotted on sight by the mods

Searched and looked, couldn't find one post or poster to substantiate your claim, let alone "10-15".

I believe your post is downright libelous against FR and FReepers.

And I believe that you're one of the PDS'ers who is going to ride the lightning real soon.

Yes, I've been a Professional Democrat Slayer for a long time and lightening is a natural means of transportation for me.

You, however, will remain a libelous troll.

Take it up with the boss...

...this guy was so overboard that even the idiots on the View looked embarrassed by his appearance on their program.

Thanks for sharing... that's interesting - I'm surprised it's possible for a liberal to be so creepy fellow liberals recoil...

Frankly, I don’t think this even matters...

His half-truths and distortions are already out there, accepted as fact by the vast majority of people who only scan the headlines, and facebook news postings.

A sad commentary on today’s society, isn’t it...

Hey Joe McPenis, even the very far left does not want to come out looking like total idiots.

Joe MCPenis and his politics and hatred just lost him millions of dollars.

Can one even begin to imagine how his book would be flying off the shelves if, he had wrote a book 180 degrees out from what was expected and came out with positive lauding Sarah Palin?

Liberal and ashamed in the same sentence is an oxymoron.

Right on, that Guthrie bimbo with no upper lip and lacking a brain cheered him on during a long interview.

There must be a legal/credibility problem and insiders know McGinniss’s book is going to be proved to be lies. Maybe the lawyers for Crown publishing are involved in this. My guess are the Palin’s are getting people McGinnis talked to recount their actuaal experiences with him in signed affidavids.

You might be on to something there. I wonder whatever happened to that basketball player she was reputed to have had a one-night stand with. He's been awfully silent on the matter which I find kind of odd. He must have a lawyer telling him to keep his mouth shut.

a local news reading bimbo reported that “now we have the true facts about Sarah Palin” and proceeded to list a few of these alleged facts.

So call her out on it. Tell the station they're spreading defamatory lies with no basis in fact, and that you will be reporting them to Palin's attorney. Bet it cools them down a little. BTW, a threat to do something legal is, well, perfectly legal. Just sayin...

A truly ironic ratio, indeed. Well noted.

People like Olbermann, Maddow etc would do anything to help McGinnis attack Sarah. I think the lawyers at Crown Publishing want to limit what McGinnis says because they know his book is full of lies and the Palins are getting to the truth.

I don't believe for a second that this has anything to do with the book being beneath Maddow and Olbermann’s supposed standards. Or that it has anything to do with government funding.
