Fox News employee Sarah Palin scolds media for "lying and carrying water for the powers that be"
Does this woman even understand the concept of "irony?"



Sarah Palin is rejecting a report from the U.K.-based Daily Mail that she was "reduced to tears" after seeing a new documentary out on her tenure as governor of Alaska.

According to the British tabloid, sources said Palin got emotional after her husband, Todd Palin, became enraged by the film, which premiered in Iowa last week.

"Obviously we’ve seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake," Palin wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. "The UK Daily Mail reports that I was 'in tears' as Todd 'rages over Hollywood stars ripping' me in the new film 'The Undefeated.' Huh? Really? The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. You’d think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right?"

Directing readers to video of remarks she made in the Hawkeye State, the former governor added, "The emotion clearly displayed was gratitude to the filmmakers who invested their own time and money into highlighting my team’s record in Alaska. Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film." She went on to scold the media and said, "There’s a story there, but you’ll never find it if you continue lying and carrying water for the powers that be."

2. I read somewhere that her
premire only attracted 50 people, maybe that is why she was crying.

3. A stopped clock is right twice a day
She is correct:

Pella, Iowa is a beautiful town.

6. Well, I agree the media is lying and carrying water for the
powers that be, but the biggest pail in the bunch belongs to the lovely Sarah. Without the media she would just blow away in the wind. Jeeeesh.

7. She'd better be nice to the media. They're the only ones following her around.

8. Now, that's rich
Does she have any sense of irony at all?

She doesn't realize that the media does carry the water for the powers that be, and if she did realize it, she'd pin a medal on them for it.

Sarah Sweetie, do you really believe you're some kind of populist? Are you really that stupid?

The maniacal laughter you hear in the background, Sarah Sweetie, is from Dave and Charlie Koch. They're laughing at you, Sarah Sweetie.
