Palin attacks media over 'very scary' reporting - accuses journalists of believing 'gossip and lies'
WASHINGTON - Sarah Palin, still smarting over coverage of her vice presidential run, calls the media's reporting on her family "very scary" and says there may be "a class issue" that explains the more sympathetic treatment of Caroline Kennedy.

The Alaska governor also took a swipe at Katie Couric over the CBS interview in which Palin stumbled badly, saying: "Katie, you're not the center of everyone's universe."

Palin did her venting Monday with John Ziegler, a conservative radio talk show host turned filmmaker, who posted excerpts online to promote the sale of a forthcoming DVD titled "Media Malpractice: How Obama Got Elected." "I think this woman was assassinated by the media," he said yesterday.

By turns aggravated and bemused, Palin complained in the video that her press office is still getting calls about rumors that she is not the mother of her infant son. She called this "quite absurd," saying she is "frustrated that I wasn't believed that Trig was really my son.

3. Wanna bet she has a drawer full of Purple Heart BandAid souvenirs?
Corporate media gave NO heed to the rumors about Palin. They actively PUSHED the lies about Kerry in 2004 and Gore in 2000.

13. Put it to Rest
All she has to do to prove to the nay sayers is to show her medical records and birth certificate of the baby. Prove it or shut up.
