Palin: 'Corrupt Bastards' At Alaska CBS Affiliate Tried To Create False Controversy About Joe Miller

By Mark Finkelstein | October 31, 2010 | 10:12

A  A

Calling them "corrupt bastards," Sarah Palin has asserted that reporters at a CBS affiliate in Alaska tried to gin up false controversies surrounding the Republican senatorial candidate, Joe Miller.

Palin said she has tape of CBS reporters in Alaska at a Miller rally that Palin organized this past Thursday saying "let's find a child molester in the crowd as a supporter for Joe Miller" and blast that, and seeking to suggest there was some kind of chaos along the lines that occured recently at a Rand Paul rally.

Fellow NewsBuster Tom Blumer has more details here. Video after the jump.

View video of Sarah's shocking allegations.   Presuming she makes the tape public soon, this could shake up the Alaska race--and CBS.

SARAH PALIN: Just last night, it was revealed that at the rally that at the rally I had for Joe Miller on Thursday, it was revealed--and we have the tape that proves it--that the CBS reporters, the affiliate in Alaska--conspired to make up stories about Joe Miller.  We have the tape, Chris, and I can't wait to let it bust out all over the nation to show what it is that we--kind of what I put up with for two years now with the media--what Joe Miller is faced with in dealing with somebody, Lisa Murkowski, who feels so entitled to that seat that she, and some of her people, including some complicit in the media will do anything.  They will stop at nothing to allow Lisa Murkowski to get back.

CHRIS WALLACE: You're saying that local reporters in Alaska conspired with the Murkowski campaign to put out false information about Joe Miller?

PALIN: I am saying--and we have it on tape--that CBS reporters in the affiliate up there in Alaska, on tape are saying let's find a child molester in the crowd as a supporter for Joe Miller, let's blast that. Let's concoct a [Rand] Paul moment there, let's find any kind of chaos so that we can tweet an alert saying "ooh, there's chaos. Joe Miller got punched, or vice [versa]."   That's sick.  Those are corrupt bastards, Chris.

That's what is wrong with the media today. When they have their chosen one, and nine times out of ten, heck, ten times out of ten in the liberal media, it's going to be the liberal as the chosen one. So we have a problem there with what Joe Miller has had to face.

Whoever has this tape needs to make it public, quickly. Joe Miller, however, is the author off his own problems.

Or read the New York times or Time Magazine etc.,.

I remember watching news on tv as a kid and remembering straightforward somewhat unbiased news reporting.  The standards for journalists whether electronic, written or digital media is 1st and always a liberal perspective and don't let objectivity get in the way of a good story.  

They have added a new standard these past 2 years:  

"At all costs protect the king."

Don't let the bastards grind you down."

It's on Andrews site this morning, there's a female and male who are conspiring to do exactly as Palin say's here. I hoe someone decides to get all the Lisa Murkowski's that live in Alaska to go to there repsective poling station and demand there names are added to the hand out that has the list of write in Candidates to foil her write in campaign which would force Murkowski to say that she's this Lisa Murkowsky or this Lisa Murkousky get it ?? It would be the upset of the year in Alaska if someone could get this out to all those Lisa Murkowski's residing in an around Alaska !!!

CBS SUCKS

All CBS is does now is hatchet job reporting. Look at the Steward rally photos and Becks side by side. They stand by the count of 87,000 for Beck and 215,000 for Stewart.

KTVA's response to the accusation is hilarious...they were just in a planning meeting and discussing what they would do if others reported this stuff but not them.

Do all CBS affilliates discuss finding a child molester in other candidates crowds?

I sort of pride myself on being a BS artist so I know BS when I see it. This lame explanation by KTVA is BS. I really don't think you need to be a BS artist to see it.

This was the best Interview ever by Sarah Palin.

Submitted by richard on Sun, 10/31/2010 - 5:07pm.

She was on top of her game, no himhaws or pauses for thought gathering, just straight to the point comments.  This interview seemed pretty much to put to rest Karl Rove's disclaimer that she didn't have the "necessary gravitas" to be considered presidential material.  More actions of this kind will help her walk away with the nomination for 2012.  This women needs to be given all due respect, and that means respect from her fellow Republicans, as well.
