It's clinical, I tell you. A piece written for the Daily Caller says that Palin, whatever she says in the primaries, would endorse Romney in the general election. A Fox News headline (now gone) made it seem as if the piece said that Palin would endorse Romney in the primaries. Palin pounces and invites another reporter to listen to her berate the original (innocent) reporter about his alleged sloppiness and liberal bias. Yes, even the Daily Caller is part of liberal lamestream media bias. Mercifully, some on the right have finally had enough. The American Spectator's Quinn Hillyer:
Look, it's one thing for Palin to complain about unfair press. She has a right to do so. It's also understandable that somebody might, at first glance, mis-read an online piece in a way that makes the original source unclear. But, really, somebody with so much experience in the public eye should know A) that reporters often don't write their own headlines; B) that there is a difference between an original news story, on one hand, and a partial reprint of a story on a news aggregator such as Fox Nation; C) that if the text of a story doesn't match the headline, it is only the text, not the headline, that is the reporter's doing; and D) that such a small mis-impression isn't worth getting hot under the collar about. I mean, really, talk about a thin skin! This was absurd.
What was even more absurd is that she and her team deliberately played it up by inviting one reporter over just to hear her berate another reporter.
Have I come to my senses and realized that she is not going to run for president? Not yet.
