WASHINGTON - Former Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin has slammed “lamestream media” for its coverage of her confrontation with an Alaska school teacher, holding a massive sign reading “Worst Governor Ever,” over the weekend.
Palin claimed that the media is now trying to turn her ‘eyebrow movements into story lines’ by associating her reaction with the lady’s designation.
According to The Politico, in the video, the teacher named Kathleen Gustafson has been shown criticizing Palin’s decision to resign as Governor of Alaska midway through her term.
Palin responded that her new position allows her to “elect candidates who understand the Constitution and would protect our military interests” on the national level.
However, the media allegedly focussed on Palin’s reaction, rolled her eyes, when Gustafson told her that she is a teacher.
“The lamestream media has now decided to use this brief encounter for another one of their spin operations. They claim I - wait for it - ‘appear to roll my eyes’ when the lady tells me she’s a teacher. Yes, it’s come to this: The media is now trying to turn my eyebrow movements into story lines,” she wrote in facebook.
“If they had checked their facts first, they would have known that I come from a family of teachers; my grandparents were teachers. Given that family history, how likely is it that I would ‘roll my eyes’ at someone telling me that they, too, work in that honorable profession? Stay classy, LSM,” she added. (ANI)
