Palin Emails Demonstrate Constant Anxiety Over Media - The Daily Beast
Obsessed with the way her image is portrayed.
Palin supporters have blamed the media for highlighting her gaffes and deliberately maiming her political reputation, but a series of emails from 2007 and 2008 show that Palin was concerned about the media's portrayal even before she became known in the lower 48. In February 2007, she wrote to staffers that she was trying to keep track of news clippings and televised interviews, but that "I need folks to really help ramp up accurate counter comments to the misinformation that’s being spread out there." Shortly thereafter, she changed her tune and wrote she'd decided "to NOT waste my time and energy" on such matters. But it wasn't long before she flip-flopped again, flaring up over rumors reported in Anchorage Daily News: “Can someone flag the lie in the blog ‘sexy highway talk among governors’ that claims [son] Trig was in the fender bender with me—and he wasn’t in a car seat on my commute. Sheeesh."
