Sarah Palin is doing her best to take the media by store. She is already loved by the media and has had a ton of media coverage since the last presidential election, yet she is taking it farther. She now has a reality TV show! The fact that she has launched this show at this particular time does matter! The timing is perfect. Right now the talk of the next election is growing by leaps and bounds. Who is running? Who stands a chance? What's the rater interest? Who has the best media personality?
All this questions are being asked and Palin supporters are trying to keep her in the spotlight of the media. Now she has this show and her daughter is on Dancing with the Stars, so it is unlikely that people will be forgetting her anytime soon. The article and a clip can be found here on CNN's website.
In my opinion this is just another way politicians are trying to hijack the media and use it to their advantage. I am interested to see if this show helps Palin, or hurts her since opposition will be trying to twist everything said into something negative. And a reality TV show has a lotta quotes that can be taken. I hope she treads carefully with this show.

I think it is ridiculous for a future presidential candidate to have a reality TV show! I think that is just taking things too far! What's Next, Nancy Pelosi on The Real Housewives of D.C.? Where do we draw the line between celebrity and politician?
ReplyDeleteAfter the 2008 Presidential race and Obama becoming the world's biggest celebrity, I am not sure there is a line anymore.
I don't know who Sarah Palin's publicist is, but I bet he/she makes a lot of money.
