Sarah Palin's bus tour treats reporters like paparazzi

Sarah Palin and her advisers are refusing to tell members of the media where she is going on her current bus tour - and the former Alaska governor seems to be enjoying the cat and mouse game that's resulted.
"I don't think I owe anything to the mainstream media ... I want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this, and that would include not necessarily telling them beforehand where every stop's going to be," she told fellow Fox News employee Greta Van Susteren in an interview from the bus.
Yet the reemergence of the GOP's larger-than-life 2008 vice presidential candidate - who says she is strongly considering a run for president - is undeniably news. Which is why more than a dozen national news outlets have sent reporters and producers out to try and follow Palin.
Since Palin and her team won't share where the potential candidate is headed, reporters and producers have little choice but to simply stay close to Palin's bus. This has resulted in scenes of the Palin bus tooling down the highway followed by a caravan of 10 or 15 vehicles - including a massive CNN bus - all trying to make sure they don't lose sight of the Palin bus.
It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.

LSM - attention media whores.
Papparazzi - attention media whores.
Don’t really see much of a dif!
This is just brilliant.
How DARE she treat them like this!? LOL
Now what? Do they just pout? LOL
She’s just shown them who’s the boss.
Sarah Palin, showing the pink-tie GOP ruling-class how it’s done.
(Psssst. She's on vacation with her family. Why not just leave her the hell alone? Breaking news - the rookie Hussein spent six hours away from his family while golfing on Memorial Day. Sounds like trouble with the marriage.)
Where Sarah is concerned...the msm is a huge step below paparazzi.
It wasn't too annoying the first 50 times. I'm one of those who believes that Obama was not born in the US, but there is nothing about posting that in every thread discussing a potential Republican candidate that is clever, exposes an issue that all of us don't already know about, or changes anybody's mind. It's just annoying.
You know that there is hysterical laughter coming from the bus. Too bad the back doesn’t have windows...it would be a hoot to see these jackasses behind her trying to keep up.
Puts me in mind of the movie ‘It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, World’
LOL!!
50 is closer, you’re correct.
Wouldn’t it be great for her to call them on it?
lol gmta
Papparazzi do occasionally come up with pictures that people want to see.
Thus is hysterical.The comments from the left about how stupid she is yadda yadda all the while paying attention to her and the media whinning about not getting an itenaray of their summer vacation? What exactly do they need that for? She has made a complete circus of them and still they follow her.Has it not occured to them that if she does announce more than likely she will sneak out without the bus and they will miss the whole thing?
Good policy. If they had advance notice, the msm would alert goon squads to go there and start trouble.
How dare her! Doesn't she know they consider themselves special because they have a four-year degree??
/s

re: “It adds up to a dangerous situation, says CBS News Producer Ryan Corsaro.”
Typical left wing tripe. They are so predictable - twist everything she does or says to fit the media’s “she’s dangerous and stupid” template.
How about Obama’s actions that truly have led to dangerous situations: weakening America’s military, weakening our standing in the world by his constant apologizing on our behalf, failure to enforce DOMA, failure to enforce illegal immigration laws, sue states that attempt to stop his lack of border enforcement and his insane Obamacare.
Yeah, making the media follow her bus in 15 cars sure is a dangerous situtation - don’t the media know how to drive?? I guess if they hit someone it’s Palin’s fault (just like Bush’s fault)??
Even if Barry Soetoro aka Barack Hussein Obama had been birthed in the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House he is NOT a NATURAL BORN CITIZEN.
