Discovery Channel Insider: Sarah Palin's Show Is "a New All Time Low for Discovery"

Last night on The Young Turks we broke the story of reaction to Sarah Palin's new show inside Discovery. We have an inside source at Discovery Communications and we've been leaked information on Sarah Palin's show for Discovery's TLC network.

Last week Discovery had its annual sales conference for ad buyers for all of its 13 networks. The presentation showcases all of their new shows across the different networks. That night the presentation was on Sarah Palin's Alaska.

Our source says "the whole thing [was] comical." Apparently the ad buyers were not impressed. This Discovery insider said, "When the promo was over, people (employees and buyers) were rolling their eyes, snickering, and even laughing. People were laughing and it's not even a comedy. No one took it seriously."

This person was concerned that given the lack of interest from ad buyers that Discovery would have to dump the show to "a crappy time slot" to cut its losses. They added, "Bottom line everyone thought it was a new all time low for Discovery. My guess is the show is going to tank big time."

Remember Discovery is paying Sarah Palin $250,000 an episode for this series. There are eight episodes, so she will be clearing $2 million for this possible disaster (TLC will be spending between $800,000 to $1.2 million per episode for the whole production). The ratings for her new show on Fox News Channel were already low (she couldn't even hold on to Greta Van Susteren's audience). Imagine how much worse she'll do on TLC where the audience presumably wants to learn something, i.e. the exact opposite of what Sarah Palin is known for. What's next for TLC, George Bush's Ranch?

When are people going to finally realize that just attaching a "big name" to a project doesn't mean it's going to work? The person hosting the show has to have some credibility in the field. I'm not sure Sarah Palin has credibility in any field.

Many people would argue that Palin did great ecological damage to Alaska and would like to do more by drilling all over it. So, getting her to host a show about the natural beauty of Alaska is a bit like getting Jeffrey Dahmer to host a cooking show for the Food Network. Yes, there's a big name attached, but is that the name you really want associated with your brand?

I'd be no more interested in seeing them have a show about Bush's ranch or The current Presidents Chicago.

If I was to attack the messenger instead of the message, I wouldn't watch them either.

But seeing a show on Alaska would be neat. It might even convince me to be a tourist in Alaska, helping out the economy.

But because I don't feel Palin is experienced enough to be President, I guess instead, I better go on vacation, wherever obama tells me to go.

:lol: :lol:

I've watched shows on the real Alaska and it seems to be breathtaking country.

I'm just not for certain we'll see the real Alaska on this show?????

But you won't watch to find out, will you?


Curiosity will cause me to tune in once I'm sure.

I also read most of her book. Are you shocked?

Not really, I have read both of obama's. They didn't impress.

didn't impress many so it seems since Sarah's has out sold obabmas almost 5 to 1, but maybe those that only read part of it need to read and comprehend instead of reading and goose stepping with the Masai

Opinion CA?????

I guess if you want a liberal opinion of Sarah Palin... this one is about the same as the rest... they don't like her, so why would you expect anything but a negative article on her?

If they paid CA $250K a show, the offer would be turned down?
:D :D

If I had a choice of sitting down with Sarah for dinner, or sitting down with a lying cheating crooked weasel, Sarah wins hands down. I wouldn't pay $1 for her company, but I'd have dinner.

You got it right Steve. Those that want to suck up to her views, whatever they are, will write positive material....in spite of the facts.

What facts?

Don't worry the Dems turned over every rock in Alaska to find something on her and when that did not work, they started making crap up. They had more fact finders working over her book than they did Obama's whole campaign and found NOTHING. Look at all the lawsuits the crazies in Alaska filed on her and just how many of them were successful.If there was one thing in her past that could take her down rest assured the Dems would have found it by now. :roll: The Dems will spew crap all day long and they figure if they say it enough it somehow turns into fact in their minds. :roll:

Just wondering Silver how many Dems believed Trig was Bristol's baby and not Sarah's? :? How many Dems believe Sarah just quit as Governor of Alaska for no reason? How many times does she is have to say she is Trig's mother and she stepped down due to all the frivious lawsuits brought against her by THE DEMS that were costing the State millions to investigate only to have them all tossed as there was no merit to any of them?

Face it if there was any facts to back any of these lawsuits and nasty stories up, the Dems would be rejoicing in the streets with the idea of running her out of politics. But there isn't which has left the Dems fearing her even more, especally since they are forced to witness her drawing hugh crowds and raising millions of dollars. You know how much they fear her when they will not even tell the truth about the size of the crowds that gather to hear her speak. Someone on the left should learn that a picture is worth a thousand words and when their words don't match the pictures those thousand words are describing their lack of credibility. :wink:

When people resort to this type of rhetoric then that mindset gave us the socialist agenda of obama.

Too bad they don't deal in the real issues rather than obamas Hoax and Chains
