Team Sarah complains to FCC
Alaska Dispatch |
Jan 12, 2009
In a note to members Monday, Team Sarah claims members are "hearing" that the FCC is launching an investigation into the Letterman barb. The group doesn't say which joke members found offensive-Letterman has routinely picked on the governor in recent months. But it could be when he and sidekick Paul Shaffer said they were "aroused" by Palin when she was running for vice president. In the November show, Katie Couric was Letterman's guest. Also on Monday, Team Sarah said that Palin supporter Greta Van Susteren, of Fox News, heard from a source that a CNN producer has emailed a private apology to the governor for associating her with John Edwards and Elliot Spitzer in a recent segment. Here's the note Team Sarah sent its members: Team Sarah is rocking the boat! 1. Letterman. Over 500 Team Sarah members protested to the FCC about Letterman's unsavory comment about Gov. Palin. They are hearing from the FCC that it is launching an investigation! 2. CNN-Gate. Greta Van Susteren just posted this on her website: MORE ON CNN-GATE: (and, yes, I am having some light-hearted fun calling it CNN-GATE...this IS Washington, DC!) Greta: "I just talked to a source who told me that CNN, from its Political Director, through a Wolf Blitzer producer Jill Chappell emailed a PRIVATE apology to the Governor of Alaska for putting her (unfairly trashing her) on the list with Senator John ("my wife is in cancer remission so I figured it was ok to cheat on her"), Governor Elliott (" has anyone seen my other black sock? the dryer again?") and others....and then blasting the unfair trashing around the world!" [Full text at http://gretawire.foxnews.com/2009/01/06/cnn-gate-why-not-a-public-apology-and-why-not-equal-in-exposure-to-the-unfair-trashing/:] We KNOW that Team Sarah put a lot of pressure on CNN for this vile attack on Sarah and helped generate the apology. BRAVO to you all! 3. Last week The Washington Times print edition, http://washingtontimes.com/news/2009/jan/06/inside-blogotics-86170829/ and today, The Weekly Standard blog, http://theweeklystandard.com/Weblogs/TWSFP/TWSFPView.asp#10053, published exposes on the attempted infiltration of Team Sarah!
