In the September issue of Townhall Magazine, where this article originally appeared, S.E. Cupp explains why the Left still doesn’t understand Sarah Palin’s connection to real Americans.
The mainstream, or “lamestream” as she would say, media was so quick to dismiss Sarah Palin’s latest venture, you could almost smell the paranoia.
Bruce Handy at Vanity Fair wrote a scathing review titled “I watched Sarah Palin’s channel so you don’t have to.”
Stephen Colbert chided, “It’s exactly what she’s always done only, mmm, nothing else.”
And her Twitter deriders quickly generated mock names for potential shows on the network, including “Two and Half Moose,” (you know, because she’s from Alaska) and “The Big Bang Theory Is False,” (you know, because she’s Christian). A blogger named @PoliticalLine tweeted, “’I am so excited for the Sarah Palin internet channel.’ –No one with a life.” Ooh, burn.
But the Left has dismissed Palin ever since she emerged. Maureen Dowd famously nicknamed her “Caribou Barbie” just after she burst onto the scene in 2008 as John McCain’s running mate (try to overlook the glaring irony that progressive, feminist Dowd was mocking Palin’s rural roots and good looks by giving her a demeaning and sexist moniker).
And despite her massive fan base, more than 4 million likes on Facebook, and 1 million Twitter followers, it’s as if the Left thinks they can get rid of her simply by willing it to be so.
Just two weeks before she announced the Sarah Palin Channel, an MSNBC story called “Palin’s Big Flame-Out” declared her politically dead.
As unserious, irrelevant, and stupid as the liberal media insists Sarah Palin is, they sure do spend a disproportionate amount of time paying attention to her every move. And all the overcompensating can’t totally mask the fear that Palin’s new online network might actually be something.
It’s not all that impossible to imagine that an engaging and provocative political voice with an active media platform and vocal fan base would find success in creating her own media outlet. Just like Arianna Huffington, the late Andrew Breitbart, and Glenn Beck have proven, there is a real market for alternative media.
