Sarah Palin Demonstrates Unconventional Political Style, But Can It Bring Success?

Tuesday, February 15, 2011


Liz Sidoti, writer of this article, obviously has a crush on Sarah Palin and is desperate for her to become a candidate for the presidency­.

Back in the day (I'm an old, old person), the media covered people or turned to people like Sarah Palin for comments who had expertise in the issues that made it into the news that day.  

How is what Sarah Palin tweets or says on Facebook newsworthy­?

The equivalent from past legitimate journalist­ic practices would be their, the media's, covering Phyllis Schlafly's press releases and discussing them daily.

Sarah Palin has no position in federal or state government­.  By all common measures, someone who lost a national election and then quit her public office mid-term is a has-been.  She's not announced an intention to run for further public office, nor is she connected in any tangible way with the Tea Party -- They invited her to speak at their first national convention (600 attendees and members) and she denied any connection to that group, other than receiving money to speak to them and liking what it stands for.  

If Geraldine Ferraro's daily ramblings aren't getting the same media coverage, why are Palin's?  With the exception of Ferraro having completed her term of office, both are failed VP candidates who now have contracts as political commentato­rs on Fox. 

The media continues to fail the American people's interests.
