By "lamestream media," did Palin mean Fox News?

April 28, 2010 8:50 am ET by Julie Millican

On last night's Hannity, Fox News contributor Sarah Palin did what she does best-complain about the "lamestream media throughout our country." This time, the media's "lame[ness]" was revealed through their coverage of Arizona's new controversial immigration law. Palin sniffed: "One of the media outlets the other day just-was killing me on this one, Sean, where they had a caption across their screen that said Arizona law will make it illegal to be an illegal immigrant? Some bizarre type of headline like that where it was just this illustration that they just don't get it."

Have a listen:

Hmmm...what "lamestream media" outlet could Palin have been talking about? It couldn't possibly had been....Fox News, could it?

From the April 27 broadcast of Fox & Friends:

fox & friends screen grab

Clearly Fox & Friends didn't get the memo.

      Ah, good to know that Simple Sarah continues with her nonsensical blabbering. Good lord, somebody needs to place her in protective medical custody so that doctors can examine just how a human can survive without having a functional brain.

      OMFG! This is priceless!

      Simple Sarah must really be proud of her little "Lamestream Media" joke... she belches it out every chance she gets. Did she make that up on her own? Doubt it.

      I wonder if BP has consulted her on that oil spill yet? She is, after all, an "energy expert". *SNORT*

      Sooo Sweet! But it is such a shame there are so many stupid people out there that watch Fox. I will hold out hope that their over the top BS will come back to bite them in a HUGE nationally exposed way.

      gravitas: high seriousness in bearing or manner; dignity; of substance.

      Sarah: I love that stuff! I especially like the green kind . . . I put it on all my Mexican food!

      Of course she meant FOX; we know she doesn't read newspapers, and if there's a tv on anywhere around her, any guess who it's tuned to?

      This was a tiny specimen of going rogue. Improvising on a talking point, she got her joan crawford shoe in her piehole.

      Fail!

      So, on top of the list of newspapers she doesn't read, I think we should be compiling a list of television channels too!
