CBS and FNC Embeds To Write Palin Book
Politico.com ^ | December 19, 2008 | MIKE ALLEN

Posted on 12/20/2008 8:15:27 AM PST by curth

EXCLUSIVE — Scott F. Conroy of CBS News, one of our favorite new voices from this cycle, reports: “Shushannah Walshe (who you'll remember as the Fox embed who covered Romney and Palin with me) and I are excited to report that we've been offered a book deal with PublicAffairs, which we accepted [yesterday]. The working title is ‘Sarah From Alaska.’ While we're obviously going to use our experiences on the trail to report a lot of new information on how the Palin campaign was run, the book is also going to be forward-looking. There's a long list of unsuccessful VP nominees who've faded into obscurity, but what we think is so interesting about Palin is that even in defeat, she was able to win the hearts of the GOP base, and love her or hate her, she'll be back on the national scene.”

It’s the new “objective” journalism: the Objective is to cash in on the outcomes of the events you manufacture.

Well, Abe Lincoln’s partisans referred to him as “the Rail-Splitter”...

“Shushannah Walshe”

Sounds like part of a sobriety test...

Or an add interpretation of a bar song.

Oh Shushannah, oh Walshe you cry for me...

Sounds like these budding “authors” might just be spending some or all of their anticipated profit on defending themselves against a defamation lawsuit.

This garbage is going to stop, one way or the other.

Real title will be something like "150,000 Reasons Why Sarah Palin Lost The 2008 Presidential Election for John McCain: The Stolen Rich Clothing Controversy the GOP Didn't Want You To Know About!"

I'm so sure someone from CBS will put the Governor from Alaska in a good light...probably more of the same mudslingling we saw immediately after the election about Sarah!!

I bet the innocent title “Sarah from Alaska”, intended to lure her sympathisants, is betrayed by the content, which no doubt will be the same perverted, sick, libelous hate-campaign directed against her by CBS, Faux and the rest of the whore-media. I won’t buy their crap... unless it’s proof-read and approved by Sarah Palin herself.

report a lot of new information on how the Palin campaign was run

There was no "Palin campaign." It was the McCain hacks who handled her scheduling and sent her around to whip up the crowds because no one wanted to hear what their boss had to grouse about.

Getting this fundamental fact wrong is all I need to know if it will be worth any time and money whatsoever to read.

I didn't know she was at the top of the ticket, not that I would've been against it.

That's classic!

But seriously, these two embeds seemed to be fairly straight forward in their reporting -- especially the gal from Fox.

As I noted in my earlier post, these two reporters were pretty straight forward in their blog posts from the campaign trail.

Here's one from Shushannah Walshe. I loved the fact that she linked to a YouTube video of the song "North to Alaska". Cute touch.

Why on earth would I buy a Gov Plain book, from a couple of MSM hacks, who spent the entire campaign, running a jihad against Gov lain, and doing everything they could to destroy her? Especially since Gov Plain herself is busying writing her own book, which I’ll buy in a heartbeat?

I don’t what’s worse a reporter from CBS or a reporter from FOX. Doesn’t FOX still stick by the nonsense story about her not knowing who is in NAFTA etc?
