Palin: Media Gives Kennedy Free Pass

Boss uses wrong shot in story about possible run for presidency

(NEWSER) - How good is Tina Fey's impersonation of Sarah Palin? So good it even fooled Palin employer Fox News. Fox posted a photo of Tina Fey posing as Sarah Palin last week while reporting that Palin says she's still "50/50" about running for president, reports Sheya . Maybe Fox meant that Tina Fey is torn about running. Two years ago after Fox goofed by using old Palin campaign footage to represent a book tour , Fox officials sent out a memo to employees declaring that on-screen errors would no longer be tolerated . Guess not. (In other Palin news, she says she "didn't mess up about Paul Revere." ) More»

She hosts Saturday Night Live, returns to form

(NEWSER) - Tina Fey returned to both Saturday Night Live and a familiar character last night. Her Sarah Palin persona made another appearance during a debate skit with other GOP candidates, including The Donald, notes Entertainment Weekly . “It’s just so great to be back on Fox News, a network that both pays me and shows me the questions ahead of time,” Fey said as Palin. “I just hope that tonight the lamestream media won’t twist my words by repeating them verbatim.” PopEater also loves the pregnant Fey's sketch with Maya Rudolph about a "horrifying birth class."

(NEWSER) - Not one to forgive and forget, Sarah Palin took the opportunity yesterday to kick Katie Couric now that she's down—and exiting as CBS News anchor. Couric famously put Palin on the spot in an interview during the presidential campaign when Palin was unable to name a single publication she reads regularly. Asked on Fox News about Couric's departure, Palin quipped: "Yeah I read something about that in a newspaper." She also mocked Couric's comment that the anchor was leaving her job to explore "multi-dimensional" story telling. More»

SNL impersonation may have hurt 30 Rock ratings, Fey writes

(NEWSER) - Tina Fey's new memoir Bossypants deals with stardom, sexism, and, to nobody's surprise, Sarah Palin. ABC breaks out a few nuggets from the new release:

• "Some may argue that exploiting Governor Palin and her family helped bring attention to my low-rated TV show," Fey writes of 30 Rock. "I am proud to say you are wrong," she writes. "My TV show still enjoys very low ratings. In fact, I think the Palin stuff may have hurt the TV show. Let's face it, between Alec Baldwin and me there is a certain 50% of the population who think we are pinko Commie monsters."

... about the 'lamestream' media, anyway

(NEWSER) - Attention, lamestream media: Sarah Palin has had it with you, to the point where she's not even going to whine about you anymore. Seems Bill Maher called her a nasty name ever-so-subtly invoking female genitalia , NOW leaped to her defense, and Palin went on Fox yesterday to tell everyone to shove it, reports CNN . "I'm through whining about a liberal press that holds particularly conservative women to a different standard, because it doesn't do any good to whine about it," Palin told Greta Van Susteren. More»
