COURIC: And when it comes to establishing your world view, I was curious, what newspapers and magazines did you regularly read before you were tapped for this to stay informed and to understand the world?
PALIN: Ive read most of them again with a great appreciation for the press, for the media
COURIC: But what ones specifically? Im curious.
PALIN: Um, all of them, any of them that have been in front of me over all these years.
COURIC: Can you name any of them?
PALIN: I have a vast variety of sources where we get our news.

(4,835 posts)But she had to double down saying that the media was mean at her.
Anyone that might have felt sorry for her would have given that up after that.

(15,084 posts)"I read People magazine in my dentist's waiting room." That would have at least provided a chuckle.
Or, how about - "I read the Wasilla Times every morning before I make Todd his toast."
"I love the Sunday New York Times.".......................wait. maybe not.

(4,835 posts)Since the local paper is apparently 'the frontiersman'. She should have just admitted that she gets all of her news from Fox News, and bragged that she doesn't actually know how to read.

(34,661 posts)always pull in a shit load of cash every time they make some type of headline. Hey,they keep 96 cents on every dollar that comes into this so called Sara Pac. What a scam. And the suckers keep cutting checks to this bunch of GRIFTERS. Palins=Grifters,Heaths=Grifters,enough said,why do we give these TAKERS space in our media anyway. Oh.that's right,we have a British Tabloid Press. They just make shit up on blogs and within 2 minutes Reuters reports it as news.

(15,084 posts)I had a huge crazy week and I so needed that laugh. The kind of laugh where my daughters used to ask if I was laughing or crying. And Sparklemoose. Also. And tax reform.

(5,122 posts)Imagine if, someone like Sparklemoose, as VP and under the umbrella of job creation, had the opportunity that Fanny and Freddy have, in terms of everyday Americans!
Where would we be now?
- thanks for the reminder. Great video.
i couldn't get through the real part, but soon discovered that the SNL skit script had been written by sparklemoose.
i laughed and laughed. thanks for posting that.

(67,782 posts)For Freddie
(79 posts)This event happened at the time the media was all over violence towards women and sports figures doing the beat down. This was a staged event by right wing handlers to try to provoke" The War on Palin Women. It did not go well. They were given marching orders
to create this brawl.The whole thing screams Right Wing False Flag Girl Beat Down.To usurp the msm narrative on "the war on women".
Like..."See we Right Wing Gurls get beat up too, this is not about our
operatives advancing a false "war on wimmens." To steal votes.
Follow the money. Start with Karl. :0}

(2,096 posts)I think the Palin's are just no-class, rude, self-absorbed assholes, and Sparklemoose is their queen.
Welcome to DU.
For Freddie
(79 posts)That too. Of course.
I feel the Palins are a media confection.
Perfect no class redneck idiots.
I think also they are a tool.
I started seeing this every time Sarah's face appeared on T.V.
and I would get nauseous like I do with some Japanese video games.
The image itself is nauseating. The voice Oy Vey.
Then I watched my Repugnican brother drool over her. Really?
And I watched his group of friends follow.
She was a targeted media confection.
The no class, rude, self absorbed assholianism is just a mirror
image to those guys and they love it.
Sarah puts the tractor beam on them.
She was their answer to Feminism.
We can't understand it or feel it. We just get disgusted or pissed off
or both. The more the RW can suck our energy in disgust or anger
by their absurd and what appears to be impotent actions the more
it keys up their base. And that means $$$.They have to APPEAR to have a base beyond the corporate take over and money.
It is a very low key kind of behavior modification that only works
on no class, rude , self absorbed asshole idiots.
Trick is to get all of us to feel it is hopeless to resist.
They have the $$$ and the power.
When Romney lost they were devestated because they were
TOLD he is winning.
I believe nothing coming out of them, including rigged poles.
The really frustrating thing I found is in my forensic research
I was unable to unearth when they got Sarah and Todd on what
ever crime they hold over them. Bottom line they are doing
the dance. And their choreographer has crimes on them.
Now that she lives part time in Az.
Let's all hope its RICO.
Thank You for the Welcome. I am a bit intimidate writing here.
But being brave. I am an activist researcher for 47 years.

(13,776 posts)The more I reread it, the more I nod in agreement.
But even though it's very true and very serious, I hope you will take it as a compliment that I loved your dry, quiet humor in "...I would get nauseous like I do with some Japanese video games." I don't even know what that means, but it's hilariously specific and I love it.
Welcome to DU! I'm really looking forward to reading more from you!

(9,426 posts)Please read her book "Boys will be boys" about prostitution in Alaska, with Taaahd as the pimp. Too many FACTS to be dismissed. Also, too log on to Immoral Minority, a treasure trove of Palin related shinola.

(4,940 posts)I live here. We'll eventually take care of that pack of KKKclan Palin, if a moose doesn't get 'em first.
They are so seriously a joke here in this state any more; I wonder that folks in the Lower 48 even follow this crap.
Trailer trash is way too good for the likes of the Palins.

(53,661 posts)They were getting the nation's ear, so the circus began on all networks at the same time.
The more voices from all quarters, the more weight it takes up in the national mind or consciousness. It had no reasons given, just appeals to the gut. All of those who follow media events fell for it as it was unavoidable. It stoked fear, outrage and pride in different groups. By the end of the week of media saturation, no one remembered what Reid and Sanders said. It was totally forgotten.
Then the media went onto the next RF101 brainwashing session. It's like the ketchup gate, umbrella gate, tan suit gate, so many others. In each case, the messages and victories of the Obama administration or Democrats were washed away and forgotten.
American media is now an obvious subsidiary of Koch industires but it had been more subtle in the past with just the Reagan era Libertarian messages embedded in 'financial' reporting, the Neo-Con propaganda for wars, and the now the full-throated assault on the remaining Commons and civil rights. This has been building for a ong time.
We may laugh at the manufactured outrage on the radio, television, the internet and newspapers. But they are intent on manufacturing consent and not by voting, but by testing the waters with media stories to see how gullible people are, how well thei propaganda has worked on the voters. All of it coordinated to create the reality to discredit any progressive success.
I feel that Twitter and other venues are also used to make people not reflect well, just talk and think in soundbites and not use the nuances in their thinking to tolerate other points of view, to work within democracy.
Thanks for your post.

(79 posts)I understand where you are all coming from. You are not entirely wrong. I do not look at politics as politics. I look at it from an
Organized Crime perspective.
This is my background. And if one forensically looks at the Palin family it is easy to see they are dancing so fast it seems they have Little Joey Gallo on their ass. EVERYTHING they do is staged and directed. It is BAD ART. But tailored to their consumers.I have great compassion for their handlers.
YES, they ARE home grown idiots. They are perfect for that role.
But I learned decades ago where ever there is BIG MONEY everything is pretty much run on the organized crime model.
Their case history is a set up for this. They are tools.
I don't know if they believe in what they are doing or not.
The Tell was saddling old John McCain with them.The Right Wing was in trouble.They had to play to what was left of their base. Which
is Fundies Old Folks and idiots. They needed the cover to steal the vote. Or at least make it APPEAR like they are real contenders.This is all about $$$.
When Cheney stole the election and Gore stood down, and they created the "war" everyone was handed a script on Blue Meth.
This turned the narrative back, to use the surplus to fund two terms of Hell. To finally "establish" the Ray Gun agenda or at least make it
stick long enough to try to get back on top. To push it as far right as they could. NO 2 term president could turn it around in 2 terms.
So when and IF there was a way to join more mature cultures in
caring for their citizens, and creating a more lasting mature stability,
they still cleaned up and stole as much as they could.
Because of my past work and my age I am VERY cynical about everything political. We are not so much a democracy as we are
a Capitalist Economy in a Globalist Market. And Capitalism KILLS.
Unfettered it KILLS. Pushing to the hard right and enlisting the idiots
as their media squad and creating chaos is just another tool.
But even with this it is turning. They have the idiots, the older folks,
the Fundies (more tools).The generation that was the core of their base IS dying. I see it in my own family. For every right wing idiot there are 6 voting against him.For every Korean War era Tea Partier,for everyRayGun baby (like my brother), for every Fundie ( like my brother in law), their kids vote against them. And the show gets more surreal as this happens. Now they resort to voter suppression openly. They are afraid of women, people of color,the gay community and latino community. THEY are becoming a minority. They know it and fight like aging badgers.
The elections are getting more and more surreal. And we have the Vatican 5 on the Supreme Court. We are
only at the beginning of starting to begin change that is needed.
And they have $$$ lots of it. They are getting hysterical, at least their base is. So.... if this is too cynical or convoluted I apologize.
I believe NOTHING I see on TV or on line. I believe in Forensic Criminology,Forensic Psychiatry, and Forensic Research. And I vote straight Democrat as do my kids and grand kids. As Jimmy Morrison said, "They've got the guns We have the numbers."
They can monkey wrench the numbers. They can blow bullshit all over and distract. I learned long ago. KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE,HOLD ON. Gotta get ready to hang out with me grandson.
PEACE

(19,372 posts)As in not funny that you and your progeny sets her up as some sort of moral compass for young women in America? Yes, on that I'd agree that it's not funny.
As to the idea of your clan engaging in a drunken brawl at a house party, I find that simultaneously sad and funny.

(7,473 posts)(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
Ge gone, Sarah

(9,426 posts)$carah now has her followers (family members) writing disgusting posts on the Facebook page of the CNN reporter who had the audacity to laugh at Bristle's drunken rants. Mentioning Martin Beshear, insinuating the reporter should lose her job. On Immoral Minority blog there is a lovely photo of Bristles standing over a puddle of her own wee wee!!

(9,966 posts)That's great! It definitely belongs in my proposed drinking game of "Sarah Palin Names". My personal one is Snooki Snowbank. The rules are that names *must* pertain strictly to Sarah and Alaska and cannot be generic. Other examples would be Caribou Barbie, which has been mentioned in this thread, Quittypants, The Witch of Wasilla, etc. You may proceed.
