She beat the media out and they're livid that she gave them the slip.
They just can't believe that she got away with that.
They can't believe she gave 'em the slip.
They can't believe that she would even try to give 'em the slip. - Rush.

If you're not laughing along with Sarah Palin's playing Gotcha! with the media, you're not paying attention.
Sarah Barracuda is playing the press for suckers, and they hate it. But they can't they leave the story alone. Result: weeks of excited headline coverage, free publicity galore, right up her alley. The media mob are cutting their noses to spite their faces.
I don't know if we have the sleaziest and most corrupt media in American history -- maybe in human history? -- but they all deserve a Pulitzer for Aggravated Mendacity. (That means "lying," if any of them are trying to read this). But it's not just their Central Party Line propaganda, day in and day out. It's also their personal wickedness, their abject ignorance, bottomless vulgarity and corruption, their lynch mob mentality -- even aimed at one-year old baby Trig Palin -- their idiotic mass conformity, and now, thanks to Governor Palin, they look like the idiots they really are. The sheer malignity of the Left and its Organs of Propaganda is being exposed every single day.
One of the most disgraceful villains at the WaPo, Dana Milbank, started a twitter campaign a couple of months ago to drive Sarah Palin out of the media -- for at least a week. Mr. Milbanks is a JourNOlist, you see. His job is not to tell the truth. Nope. It's to run coverups for the Demagogues and to destroy as many Republicans as possible. Milbank is a PC Commissars of Censorship and Propaganda. Trying to blacklist Sarah Palin is an act of flagrant censorship. That's what the Left tries to do to anybody who dares to speak up against them.
Well, last week Sarah Palin scored 263,000,000 Google hits. In the last four weeks the score is 959,000,000, almost a billion. Free publicity. No Gotcha's!
All the editors are screaming at their newsies, and those dogged news hounds are screaming back. You betcha.
Poor David Brooks is all upset. She's not playing fair!
What Bernie Madoff did to do-gooder charities, Sarah is doing to the press mob. She keeps drawing them in, lusting after fabulous Gotcha! headlines, and then flipping them the bird. This has been going on for months. It drives them to the brink of sanity. Palin is turning the tables on the press, and they don't like it. Manipulating people is their job.
Here's a brilliant piece of PR: Sarah's non-campaign bus tour. The mediots are running ragged trying to follow Palin's giant campaign-type bus, she's making headlines every day, but she will not announce her presidential run. (Not yet... maybe never...).
So the panting wolf pack goes chasing after the bus wherever it goes, the Palin non-campaign isn't telling them anything, and every now and then Sarah and her family disappear from the bus without telling the sweating jourNOlists, who can't stop running because they don't know when she's going to make the Big Announcement. (Maybe tomorrow? Maybe never?)
All kinds of complaints in the media. This isn't fair! Sarah's bus is a danger to traffic! They should slow down. They should give the press a daily itinerary.
But Palin doesn't need to please the media. She has her Facebook, she has Twitter, she has her own websites, YouTube movies, that big new movie coming out, most of all she's got the movie star good looks and that smile. Feminazis all around the country are having nightmares. What if we get President Sarah Palin? They will never live it down.
Normal campaigns have PR people to kiss the press's ample buttocks in return for half-decent coverage. The Palin answer is that this is not a campaign at all... who needs a PR guy or gal? She just happens to be driving that big bus to primary states.
Shazzam! Sarah shows up in New Hampshire, just in time to take the wind out of Mitt Romney's campaign. (She makes a nice apology the next day, but the damage is done. Oopsey! Didn't mean to do that, Governor Romney. Just happened to be steamrollering through New Hampshire with dozens of TV satellite vans on my tail!) On she goes.
Then there's the well-timed 24,000 email web dump, courtesy of the State of Alaska and some moronic state FOIA demand from the media.
Lefties around the world were salivating, sure they would finally get a chance to dig really nasty dirt about this brilliant woman -- who they're sure is a drooling idiot. I mean, she called her baby Trig! And she didn't abort him! How moronic is that?
The Left fell for Sarah's sucker play. The New York Times called for volunteers to go through Sarah Palin's emails as Governor of Alaska. The WaPo cried for help. Even the UK Guardian (a big power in the Leftist Party Line cabal) is desperately looking for data crunchers. The LA Times is wetting its collective pants.
I was afraid the mob would finally crucify Governor Palin. Who doesn't have some dirt in 24,000 emails? Can the NYT or the WaPo can pass that test? Not a chance. If we ever get a chance read their in-house emails, ugly dirt will spill from every page. These are not nice people, our mediots, and they are very abusive -- to each other, to their audiences, and to politicians. They run a reign of terror.
The result? The emails show that Palin ran a competent administration in Alaska, that she conducted tough negotiations with the oil companies, that the corrupt Republican blowhards over there hate Our Sarah as much as the Demagogue apparatchiks. If there are any honest people still slogging through that mountain of emails, they may turn into Palin fans yet. So that non-scandal kept Sarah in the headlines for another couple of weeks. Just like with the non-campaign bus, the media ended up exposing only itself. And the sight ain't purty.
How does that compare to the solid media blackout for one Barack Hussein Obama? The last election was just one big media scam, in cahoots with David Axelrod and George Soros. Obama lied from beginning to end. He lied about Jerry Wright, he lied about Bill Ayers, most of all he lied about himself. The media covered up Hussein's real life, his real Leninoid ideology, and told Americans they would be racists if they didn't vote for a pig in a poke. They turned Hussein into a rock idol. JourNOlism. Only the conservative media dug out relevant facts.
Today we still don't have any facts about Obama's blackout years in college, not to mention those mysterious Social Security numbers, the authorship of Obama's two autobiographies, how much Saudi money got through those open website portals, and what Obama's planted mole Commissars are really doing in the administration without Congressional oversight. This doesn't look like an American administration; it looks like a Chicago mob racket.
Obama has a mobster's control over the media. They know they will get hurt if they don't click their heels and go Hail Hussein! So they do it.
When Obama had Osama killed the media burst out in loud Hosannahs! like some grooving gospel choir. But you know they did it on command. These people salivate all over Obama's trouser crease whenever he rings the bell, like Pavlov's dog. They've actually said so.
So is Sarah Barracuda really Sarah the snake-charmer? She certainly has them hypnotized. For three whole years they've told us how much they hate her, but they can't stop giving her headlines. It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of vipers. Somewhere down in Hades, H.L. Mencken is having fits of the giggles. Mencken was an honest journalist; but we have no Henry Louis Mencken today.
All we have are JourNOlists.
What ever she decides to do "The Wasilla Barracuda" has confirmed for us what we all knew.
The so called mainstream media in this country is toitally degenerate and corrupt.
Very creative and very funny. You forgot the 4wd that dropped a universal and left them stranded, an encounter with a angry moose, and a wild flight in a SuperCub or ( insert aircraft type) on floats with a real character as a pilot with Ariel maneuvers that would rival Frank Tallman's antics in Mad Mad World ( he was he stunt pilot ). There are so many more to add. Yes it could be a very funny movie.
Ping for after coffee.
Remember she promised her long time friends, radio show hosts, Bob and Mark in Alaska that they would be the first to know.
Let’s watch to see whether she goes home to Wasilla for the 4th of July!
Recall that she loves to spend the Fourth on that beach where she filmed the 4th last year for her series Sarah Palin’s Alaska!
“Today we still don’t have any facts about Obama’s blackout years in college, not to mention those mysterious Social Security numbers, the authorship of Obama’s two autobiographies, how much Saudi money got through those open website portals, and what Obama’s planted mole Commissars are really doing in the administration without Congressional oversight. This doesn’t look like an American administration; it looks like a Chicago mob racket.”
Great article, and this paragraph in particular is terrific.
There’s a closed Chrysler dealership not too far from me, where we had happily purchased a van a few years ago. I feel sad every time I drive by that huge empty lot. So much completely un-American stuff has gone on under 0.
Election year 2012 should feature the American people rising up against this bunch of hooligans!
Palin ‘12!!!
But that would be racist, you see.
Hilarious! Great Idea!
In the meantime before "the movie" comes out, who do we know here on Free Republic that is capable of doing Youtube videos and/or graphics, making posters and cartoons, including T-shirts and the like depicting these ideas?
IMO, we need to get talented FReepers involved in this effort immediately!
Along the same lines as those of pepsionice's above, below are the great ideas my brother sent me in a series of emails over the weekend. I'm copying and pasting them just the way he sent them to me:
THIS PALIN DERANGEMENT SYNDROME BY THE LEFT HAS BECOME SO BIZARRE, I PREDICT IT WILL BACKFIRE ON THEM BIG TIME! IT IS REALLY UNBELIEVABLE!!
I THOUGHT OF A GREAT CARTOON TO DEPICT IT ALL:
SOMEONE SHOULD PRODUCE A CARTOON TITLED THE GREAT LAME STREAM MEDIA ALASKAN GOLD RUSH, WITH A PICTURE OF ALL THOSE MEDIA IDIOTS PANNING FOR GOLD IN AN ALASKAN STREAM AND COMING UP WITH NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD IN THEIR PANS. SOMEONE MORE CREATIVE THAN ME COULD REALLY DO A GREAT JOB WITH THIS IDEA, IMO!
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I ALSO HAD ANOTHER IDEA ABOUT IT:
DRAW A SMALL MAP THAT DEPICTS WHERE ALL THE FILED MINING CLAIMS ARE LOCATED ALONG THE STREAM WHERE THE MEDIA IS PANNING FOR GOLD, THEN SHOW THE MEDIA MINING FOR GOLD ON THE PALIN CLAIM, BUT HAVE AN ARROW POINTING TO WHERE REAL GOLD CAN BE FOUND. ( THE OBAMA CLAIM ) LOL!
OH YEAH, ANOTHER THING:
SHOW ALL THOSE LEFT WING NUTS IN THE PUBLIC THAT WERE ASKED BY THE MEDIA TO GO THROUGH PALIN'S EMAILS AS GOLD ASSAYERS RECEIVING NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD BEING SENT BY THE MEDIA UP THEIR ASSAY. LOL!....EXAMPLE: "NOPE, NOTHING BUT FOOLS GOLD HERE".
OK, SHOW A TANNING BED IN ONE OF THEIR PANS. LOL!
SHOW THE ONLY REAL GOLD NUGGET THEY FOUND UP THERE IN THE STREAM AS A VERY TINY NUGGET SITTING IN THE CENTER OF A HEAVILY GUARDED BRINKS TRUCK WITH AN ARROW IDENTIFYING IT AS AN EMAIL WHERE PALIN PRAISED OBAMA IN A SPEECH HE GAVE IN MICHIGAN IN 2007, REFERENCE THE SUGGESTED $1000 OIL REBATE LIKE ALASKA DOES.
Whaddya say we get on these ideas and make them Go Viral!
LOL. We have very talented FReepers and you have pinged several.
I will ping a few more, and they might know of others.
This certainly appears so.
She got very little coverage when Trump was running around but with Trump back on his show and the MSM now following Palin around and getting nothing they (MSM) look like a dog chasing cars.
One of the best pieces I have read in a very long time.
Thanks, onyx!
Jokes are funny, sometimes.
There is nothing funny about a propaganda ministry. The holocaust was fueled by one that people were naive enough to believe was a “news” media.
At first I thought that the Independence day announcement was brilliant, but if she is waiting for the July 26th deadline for lawsuit claims I say August 2nd. Given her knack for teaching the media some history as the day most delegates signed the revised and clean copy.
And wouldn’t it be great if she announced on KWHAL with Bob and Mark with no announcement at all. If she just popped in the studio or called them and said oh by the way...
August 2 works for me! That would be my parent’s 81st wedding anniversary were they alive!
She’s done very SPECIAL things on their birthdays so you might be right!
GO SARAH!!
This article is brilliant. One of the best I’ve read.
Excellent article!
American Thinker is becoming a daily stop for me.
The media is transparent about their desire to upend heaven and earth to dig up dirt on conservatives compared to a Mafia-like intransigence concerning finding out anything at all about Obama’s past. The whole thing is like something out of The Onion. I’m sure even many libs have asked themselves where are all the details of Obama’a past academic records. “Why is the media so uncurious about The Grand Redistributor’s past?” they must ask themselves. Especially with this latest dirty tricks scheme played on Palin and their failure to show the slightest interest in Obama’s past, they are announcing to the world that they have no ethics or morals concerning journalism...if they ever had any.
Sarah Palin is doing a wonderful job in kicking the media.
Yes, she is and this writer, James Lewis, is one of my favorite’s and he really likes Sarah Palin.
