Palin "speaks through Fox," says she'll "clean up journalism," won't "waste time with biased Couric"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Domenico Montanaro writes: Sarah Palin is vowing -- in a FOX interview that will air later today -- to "clean up" journalism, and says she will not speak to CBS's Katie Couric again, calling her "biased" and won't "waste my time."

Couric conducted the interview in 2008 in which Palin tried to defend her foreign policy credentials. Of Russian President Vladimir Putin, she said, "It's very important, when you consider even national security issues with Russia, as Putin rears his head and comes into the airspace of the United States of America, where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border."

Palin said of journalism:

"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree. I studied journalism, who, what, where, when, and why of reporting. I will speak to reporters who still understand that cornerstone of our democracy, that expectation that the public has for truth to be reported. And then we get to decide our own opinion based on the facts reported to us."

1. That woman is actually certifiable.

[katty]

2. yeah, sister sarah sure is 'cleaning up'$$$ on her big mouth

[marmar]

3. I hereby vow not to post or participate in a Sarah Palin thread.....

...... Somebody slap me if I do. ..... This thread not included, of course.

[somone]

4. She'll divide journalists into pro-American and anti-American

and process them accordingly through her Department of Law

[NeoConsSuck]

5. I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism

How ironic that she said this on FOX!

:rofl:

[Iris]

17. It's like an answer to the question portion of a beauty pageant! Watch out Miss South Carolina!

[RamboLiberal]

6. That woman is an idiot

[livetohike]

7. Ooooh, Super Sarah, she can do it all!

Megalomaniac.

[Denninmi]

8. Wow, it really is '1984' isn't it?

So, "cleaning up journalism" means that a woman who bounced from third/fourth tier college to third/fourth tier college, finally managed somehow to get a B.A., and then worked for a very short time as a SPORTS reporter in one of America's smallest media markets is going to talk to completely biased, un-objective opinion/entertainment "stars" who will only reinforce her view and ask her nothing tougher than "So, how was salmon fishing this year?"

[Amerigo Vespucci]

14. The article also linked to one of her clips as a sportscaster:

It's like watching sports on the evening news but 1,000 times more annoying. She also looks really, really wired. And she's got big hair that would make the members of Night Ranger blush.

:rofl:

[fascisthunter]

9. she'll clean up the media like any Nazi would have

by censoring them.... she truly is a sociopath.

[HipChick]

11. That's how she rolls..

[DCKit]

10. It's a shame she can't be tried and convicted of torturing the English language. n/t

[Pathwalker]

12. Wait a minute. Isn't her degree in SPORTS journalism?

A bachelor's degree, at that? I don't think she can clean up her own house, much less anything else.

[PlanetBev]

13. Loose, meet cannon

Boy, wouldn't the Gop like her to disappear. Not a chance...she ain't goin' away, no how, no way. God, they must hate McCain for this.

[gratuitous]

15. Ooh, teh biases!

"So, what newspapers do you read?" Talk about the lowest, most under-handed, sneaky, "gotcha" question imaginable! She'd rather answer yes or no to whether she's stopped beating her wife, that's how horrible that mean old Katie Couric is. Sarah will certainly show her! Oh yes, she will.

[mfcorey1]

16. Old Sarah has learned from her peers on FOX news, that if you say ridiculous things, it will

be echoed in the news everyday and you can make a lot of money. She has learned well from Beck, Hannity, and O'Reilly. It is all about the money for backwoods bumpkin who lucked up, with the help of John McCain, on a good thing. She will milk it for all it is worth.

[flvegan]

18. "...clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism."

Whu...?

:rofl:

[lsewpershad]

19. Must be dumder than her...I guess

Read it over and over and still could not make any sense of her BS.

[Desertrose]

20. Just waiting for her ego to pop her head like an overfilled balloon.

Why does anyone waste time on her?

[Strelnikov_]

21. "the state that is so sorry today of journalism. And I have a communications degree"

My brain hurts.

[senseandsensibility]

28. Mine too.

Make it stop. The communication it burns.:rofl:

[K8-EEE]

22. Palin has really helped Katie's career

Now she's thought of like this badass journo just because Palin crashed and burned so badly when being asked normal questions, LOL, that was the best interview decision Katie ever made for sure!

[spanone]

23. 'nbc nightly news' gave her 5 minutes of free promo for her new book

she will be einstein by 2012 if the media has it's way

[one_voice]

24. MMMM....word salad....

"I want to help clean up the state that is so sorry today of journalism."

WTF?!? she is all kinds of stooopid.

[Glimmer of Hope]

25. She has a communications degree? Omfg..

She gives me a headache.

[Rex]

26. What a fucking tool. I doubt she has ever had one original thought.

Palin is the female version of George W Bush.

[elana i am]

27. yeah, journalism could be cleaned up considerably if she went the fuck away.

[Canuckistanian]

29. It's like rain on your wedding day n/t

[iwillalwayswonderwhy]

30. Well, yeah

She's certainly a black fly in my chardonnay.

[Arkana]

31. Yeah, how dare Katie ask you what magazines you read, Sarah.

What a terrible, loaded question.

You fucking idiot. Die in a fire.

[Skittles]

32. vowing on FOX to clean up journalism?

OMG :rofl:
