Sarah Palin Blasts Media as "Corrupt bastards club&quot

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin blasted the news this morning media as the "corrupt bastards club" after the Joe Miller campaign released audio that shows reporters conspiring to smear Alaska's Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate.

A press release from the Miller camapaign describes what happened:

In an apparent accidental voice mail message left on the cell phone of Joe Miller’s spokesperson, Randy DeSoto, what is believed to be the news director for CBS Anchorage affiliate KTVA, along with assignment editor Nick McDermott, and other reporters, openly discuss creating, if not fabricating, two stories about Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, Joe Miller. The voice mail message was later authenticated by Mr. McDermott, who sent a text to DeSoto stating “Damn iPhone … I left you a long message. I thought I hung up. Sorry.”

“Frankly, when I first heard this I was shocked,” said DeSoto. “Though a bit garbled at times, there are disturbing comments in this conservation that never should have occurred.”

In the first discussion, the KTVA reporters discuss getting a list of Miller campaign supporters in order to ‘find’ a “child molester.” “You have to find that one person,” says the male reporter, to laughter in the news room. The reporters at KTVA then discuss creating a “Rand Paul” incident at the then upcoming Miller Rally (held on October 28, 2010) and hoping for violence so that they can “send out a tweet” and “Facebook” that “Miller got punched” at the rally.

This morning, Palin took to Twitter to voice her outrage over the incident:

Transcript of conversation (via RedCounty.com):

FEMALE REPORTER: That’s up to you because you're the expert, but that’s what I would do...I’d wait until you see who showed up because that indicates we already know something...

[Laughter]

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: Child molesters...

MALE REPORTER: Oh yeah... can you repeat Joe Miller’s...uh... list of people, campaign workers, which one's the molester?

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE VOICE: We know that out of all the people that will show up tonight, at least one of them will be a registered sex offender.

[Laughter]

MALE REPORTER: You have to find that one person...

[INAUDIBLE]

FEMALE REPORTER: And the one thing we can do is ....we won’t know....we won’t know but if there is any sort of chaos whatsoever we can put out a twitter/facebook alert: saying what the... ‘Hey Joe Miller punched at rally.’

FEMALE REPORTER: Kinda like Rand Paul...I like that.

[Laughter]

FEMALE REPORTER: That’s a good one.

I wish I could say "Unbelieveable" but after what the Alaska media allowed to happen to Sarah, and in most cases probably helpped in large part with, I can not say it is unbelieveable they would go after someone she supports. I just hope there are enough people in Alaska that are sick to death of the liberal bias media tricks and are willing to do what they can to stop the crap. :mad:

But the good thing now is if anything does happen everyone will know why it happened and just who was behind it :wink: :roll:

that isnt a new term.

there was the scandal of alaska republican politicians which is where the term corrupt bastards comes from.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska_political_corruption_probe#Corrupt_Bastards_Club

it is also what republicans jokingly nicknamed themselves.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/01/AR2006090101465.html

its kinda cute that corrupt bastard is 2/3 of an acronym for cbs.

that reporters are aggressively looking to spin on a politician a story that puts said politician in bad light is not shocking to me. they have done and would do it in future to anyone. sarah palin is well-supported and so i cant imagine she would worry about this, and she will likely get alot of fun out of dramatizing the thing. good for her, shows her spunk.

Did you see that Murkowski's father was one of the "original corrupt bastards"?

Palin isn't stupid and I'm sure the term was also to remind voters in Alaska of past CBs :wink:
