As expected, Sarah Palin did not appreciate the cover portrait that Vanity Fair devoted to her in its current issue. She was seemingly upset expressing her view this afternoon in an interview at Sean Hannity radio show more or less accusing journalists.
Here we quote the text of her words to lose nothing of its flavor and to accurately portrait her attitude.
Palin speaks of anonymous coverage seemingly referencing Vanity Fair
“I hear there is some pretty ugly stuff right now,” Palin said of her recent coverage in an interview on Sean Hannity’s radio show.
“Those who are impotent and limp and gutless and they go on their anonymous - sources that are anonymous - and impotent, limp and gutless reporters take anonymous sources and cite them as being factual references,” Palin said. “It just slays me because it is just absolutely clear what the state of yellow journalism is today that they would take these anonymous sources as fact.”
Canadian blogger Richard Hétu suggests that whether the sources are anonimous or no may need to be taken with a grain of salt, " However, I can not help but wonder if there is not a grain of truth in anecdote narrated by journalist Michael Joseph Gross , that John McCain 's advisers panicked at the beginning of the 2008 campaign when they realized that the Governor of Alaska knew nothing about Margaret Thatcher," Hétu writes in cyberpress.ca.
The blogger also writes that Thatcher has counted Sarah Palin among her heroins on her Facebook page in June. The Iron Lady has even expressed a desire to meet Palin during a visit to London.
