Former GOP Vice Presidential candidate, and Republican Gov. of Alaska, Sarah Palin came out swinging. In a video interview with the conservative documentary film maker John Zeigler, Palin lambasted bloggers and the media. At one point she dismissed the controversy over her inability to tell CBS Nightly News Anchor Katie Couric what she read, by stating, “Because Katie you are not the center of everybody’s universe.”
Zeigler has created the website HowObamaGotElected.com in which he argues Obama won by blinding the electorate, and the interview with Palin was conducted for an upcoming documentary called Media Malpractice.
“When did we start accepting as hard news sources bloggers, anonymous bloggers especially. It’s a sad state of affairs in the world of the media today, mainstream media especially; if they are going to rely on anonymous bloggers for their hard news information. Very scary. What is the double standard here? Why people would choose to believe lies, and reporters especially, not just taking one extra step to get to the facts and report the facts but instead continue to spread things that are not true. So I have the same question perhaps you do and others who would participate in this documentary. Is it political or sexism? What is it that drives someone to believe the worst and perpetuate the worst in terms of gossip and lies?”
