If Sarah Palin will not silence her magpie mouth....
it's time to hold whichever media outlet who gives her air-time from now on.
I think it is time to take her out.........Out of our media!!!!

WHY DOES MEDIA CONTINUE TO GIVE HER AIR-TIME???

2. Because people watch and talk about and generate good ratings.
Your post perfectly illustrates this example.

3. My remote is my solution - I switch channels every time her ugly face comes on
And as often as I feel like it I send emails to the appropriate programs expressing my regret that I am missing so much of their time on the air due to their excessive use of Palin's ugly ass face and whining, grating voice polluting their shows.

On the bright side, I am much less obsessed with politics because I am watching so much less of the political coverage.

4. Our Media?
And which media is that? Surely not the ones that control the radio and teevee. Those are private corporations that use Mooselini to boost their ratings. They build her up and knock her down...and she manipulated them. They both profit.

Let her flap her trap...the more she does the more she makes a fool of herself and reduces what remote chances she has of ever being considered a serious candidate. She's a celebrity politician...famous for being famous and not much else. To a small number, she's a serious candidate...to the majority of this country she's a walking freak show. Either way people will continue to pay attention until she ultimately flames out. The way she's going, that day is coming sooner rather than later. The clock is quickly ticking on her 15 minutes.

5. Palin does nothing but hurt her own cause by talking.
I say let her talk as much as she wants, and it will take less time for her to talk her way into complete irrelevance. Like ripping off a band-aid, it will hurt a little more at first, but will be over with much quicker.

6. I've Got News For You, Sarah "You Can't Shut Me Up" Failin..............
................your critics don't WANT to shut you up. Because every time you open your mouth, you give yet another gift to the Democratic Party. I'm telling you, this woman is the greatest thing that the Republican Party has ever done for Democrats. She's a golden goose, and every time she opens her mouth, she lays yet another golden egg. Why would we EVER want to stop THAT?

8. The same reason they keep pushing a story for days
Because it provides sensationalism or controversy.

In her case Controversy reigns sensationally. She has a loud mouth and shouts over anyone who disagrees.

12. The more she talks, the higher her unfavorable ratings in the polls.
Let her keep it up. I don't have to listen to her, I can just turn change the channel.

14. Palin will become infamous in political history
Unfortunately there is and will be no way to change that now or later, it is waay too late.

Even if she was to clam up and never utter another word for the MSM to pounce upon, or type out another tweet or post online.

She has become like an ugly and unhideable tattoo that someone regrettably got while they were drunk.
