Palin to O’Reilly: Coulda Answered “Bush Doctrine” Question With “More Context,” Katie Couric’s “What Do You Read” Question was “Gotcha” and “Annoying”
On last night’s (11/19/09) O’Reilly Factor, it was the moment we’ve all been waiting for, folks – Sarah Palin was on The Factor to tell us all about how the “gotcha,” “lamestream” media engaged in tactics and asked trip-'em-up questions (you know, like, “What do you read?”) that were “annoying” or asked her questions that “she probably could have answered” with the proper Cliff notes, uh, “a bit more context.” To hear her tell it, she would have done brilliantly if it weren't for the "badgering" questions. There was one person, however, that she absolutely, totally, (almost) completely absolved of responsibility for her dismal failure in the election and her downright moronic responses in the interviews: Sarah Palin. Stay tuned, folks . . . there's a Part II to come! With video.

Palin Says “We Weren’t Fair To The Electorate” Not Focusing More On Rev. Wright And Bill Ayers
It felt like 2008 all over again last night (11/18/09) as Sean Hannity went out of his way to bring up Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers during his hour-long interview with Sarah Palin about her new book. Why would Hannity waste time on this non-issue, if not for a sheer desire to hate monger against President Obama? In response, Palin had the nerve to pretend that talking more about Wright and Ayers was not negative campaigning, just being “fair to the electorate.” With video.
Continue reading >>Hannity and Palin Blame Rahm Emanuel And The Obama Administration For Her Resignation
Thank goodness Fox News is fair and balanced. If they weren’t, Sean Hannity would have wasted time asking Sarah Palin during their hour-long interview last night (11/18/09) about the many inaccuracies in her new book, the response of the McCain campaign to the allegations she made against them and pressed her on why she really quit her job as Governor of Alaska in the middle of her term. Instead, Hannity left all those bothersome details to the so-called liberal media and seemed determined to compensate for every single piece of negative publicity poor, persecuted Palin ever suffered. So during his interview, Hannity not only dismissed all 15 ethics probes filed against her during her two and a half years as governor, he suggested Rahm Emanuel and the Obama administration were to blame for her troubles and her resignation. Palin wholeheartedly agreed. With video.

More Fake Video From Fox News: Old Palin Campaign Footage Used To Show "Huge Crowds" At Her Book Tour
Hot on the heels of Hannity caught using 9/12 protest video as video of the crowd at Michele Bachmann's (much smaller) health care rally, comes Greg Jarrett using 2008 campaign footage while claiming that Sarah Palin is getting "huge crowds" at her book tour appearances. As Think Progress noted, the McCain/Palin posters were a bit of a giveaway. Video after the jump.
11/19/09 UPDATE: Fox News apologized today.

"Death Panels" Live On At Fox News
Is Sarah Palin writing Foxnews.com's headlines? The top headline on the "fair and balanced" website right now reads, "'Death Panels' Survive.' End-of-life planning, likened by some in GOP to 'pulling plug on granny,' makes it into House Dems' health bill. The actual article the headline links to, from AP, is much more measured and balanced. So it's clear that Fox News wrote that headline with the express purpose of being inflammatory and partisan. Screen grab after the jump. (H/T Steve K)
