SIMI VALLEY, Calif. — Sarah Palin offered an extended tribute to Ronald Reagan in Santa Barbara Friday night, praising him specifically for not being bothered by criticism. Then, in an interview the CBN's David Brody following the speech, she said that if she ran for president she'd follow the same course of ignoring the naysayers.

But she couldn't help but get in a jab at the press in the same interview, telling Brody that “much of the mainstream media is already becoming irrelevant."

Continue Reading Such shots have, of course, become staples of Palin's repertoire. They illustrate that, despite her claims, criticism plainly does get to her.

Yes, see we in the media just blame you Sarah for being implicit in murder in Tucson, we accused you of getting your hair done in Haiti on a relief mission when it was just your daughter putting a clip back in your hair......etc. but if you say that we in the media are irrelevant then those are divisive and mean words and you are thin skinned......ok!

[TexGuy]

“Yeah Sarah, Quit being such a meany!”

[Cicero]

But she couldn't help but get in a jab at the press in the same interview, telling Brody that “much of the mainstream media is already becoming irrelevant."

Couldn't help? Actually, Jonathan, she did it on purpose.

And, as you know, it's true.

[ScaniaBoy]

So now we have MSM, LSM, and thin skinned media - TSM - and of course the Governor is on top of them all.

[FourPeas]

Only in the newspeak that is our current reality could telling the truth be considered a jab.

[kbennkc]

She is so much like Reagan, I forgot to laugh.

[freekitty]

Please get some grownups. I am so sick of hearing these children.

I’m going to buy a pacifier and mail it to Politico.

We should do a spoof commerical for Johnathan of a new product...

"Panty-Ease, takes the bind right out of them"

Oh man their's are gonna be in a bind for about the next 10 years :-)....

Sarah, girl, keep it up!!! It is not the media (Politico) getting to you woman!!! It is you, my lady, getting to them. “Politico” has had its fifteen minutes of fame and has morphed into a shill and spin rag for American Hater, POTUS, Barack Hussein Obama. Keep up the attack, Sarah, “Politico” can’t stand it!!!

[Lazlo in PA]

What a whining loser Martin is. Apparently the criticism gets to him as well or he would not obsess about it. Remember Martin is the hack that was spreading rumors that Palin was ducking scheduled interviews with Hannity, Levin and Rush. The rumors were fabricated lies.

[MulberryDraw]

Choose your battles Sarah. First, take on the ones you can win. (I bet she already knows this. LOL)

[Vendome]

Can’t believe I just read that from someone who is well...irrelevant.

[RichInOC]

I think she’s actually working off Truman’s playbook on this one.

[dalereed]

Why should anyone do anything but condemn that left wing bunch of freaks?

[onyx]

Journ0lists, the lamestream and all others conveniently overlook the fact that GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN’S DEGREE IS IN JOURNALISM, so she knows precisely what they’re up to and it isn’t news reporting or good journalism.

[Carl LaFong]

Yeah, Sarah.You’d damn well better follow this ‘Journolist’s’ advice and don’t fight your media raping:
Just lay back and enjoy it.

[al baby]

[Interesting Times]

Politico’s views on Palin are akin to a Martin Luther King retrospective produced by the Klan.

[abclily]

Since she has a degree in journalism, the Governor knows how the MSM operate. She has their number and knows how to hurt their little feelings. Poor babies!
