Indian Media Discovers the Terrors of Reporting on Sarah Palin

Jim Newell — The Palins are in India, right now! Sarah Palin will be giving the keynote address at the India Today Conclave, a fancy conference whose past keynoters include Al Gore, Benazir Bhutto, and Pervez Musharraf. .... Until the Conclave, though, she and Todd have some time to kill, and they're already furious at the Indian media for covering them. ....

******QUOTE: "It's been less than 3 hours since she's landed, but Palin is out shopping in Delhi's DLF Emporio Mall. This is an interesting departure from Dilli Haat, a place which houses local handicrafts which Michelle Obama visited during her visit. In contrast, this is a snazzy up market air-conditioned mall which houses some of the boutique outlet stores (Louis Vuitton...etc..)" UNQUOTE*******

It added, "We are told that nothing in this mall costs less than Rs.25,000 ($500)." ....

*****QUOTE: "It appears that our coverage from yesterday has been a source of great consternation in the Palin camp - which was not the intended result of our reportage. Since last evening there has been a virtual blackout of all information about her movements.

IRTV would want Ms. Palin to enjoy India to its fullest and would like her to know that we wish her well. And since we have established that someone from their team is actually viewing this blog, as no other media outlet is covering Ms.Palin (they are, it appears, not interested), we are confident that this message will get passed on to her." :UNQUOTE******

1. kick for the snark

2. Ouch!

LOVE it!

ANOTHER kick for the snark!

3. Palin is operating under the mistaken belief that anyone truly

gives a crap what she does. Especially in India, I doubt anyone cares a bit about a half-term Governor from Alaska who lost a big election and will never hold another political office.

She's just the comedy act for the India Today Conclave, a stand-up comedian who doesn't know people are laughing at her. Great entertainment.

4. Way does a half-term quitter get so much airtime?

Why?

[lbrtbell]

5. Especially in another country

WTF???

[emulatorloo]

7. Nobody is covering her, just that blog.

[malaise]

6. No one in India gives a flying fuck about Palin's visit

Tomorrow India play the West Indies in a crucial World Cup cricket match.
Nothing is going on in India outside of the cricket world cup.

9. +1000 nt

8. IRTV viewers should consider themselves blessed

to be spared any further exposure to this execrable harpy. :puke:

Just my take on it.
