Sarah Palin's Safari Club Speech: 'We Eat Organic -- We Just Have To Shoot It First'

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

How is what SPaIin says to an obscure club (or tweets or says on Facebook) newsworthy­?

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

SPaIin 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 T/ea 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 PaIin's?  With the exception of Ferraro having completed her term of office, both are failed VP candidates who now have contracts as poIitical commentato­rs on F0X. 

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