Palin: Media sought to seek, destroy

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin believes the media deliberately tried to bring her down during her vice presidential run.


As part of an interview with filmmaker John Ziegler for his new film, Palin said she believes the media made a decision that "we're going to seek and we're going to destroy this candidacy of Sarah Palin's because of what it is that she represents".


"Obviously something big took place in the media," she added. It is "very frightening, I think, what the media was able to get away with, this go around."


Palin suggested that unbalanced media coverage posed a threat to democracy.

"This is for the sake of our democracy that there is fairness in this other branch of government, if you will, called the media," she said. "It is foreign to me the way some in the mainstream media are thinking."

"There have been lies told, there have been reputations trashed, there have been children that have been harmed," she continued.

Looking back on her interview with ABC News' Charles Gibson, in which Palin seemed unsure of how to define the Bush doctrine, the Alaska governor said she was disrespected in a way that another candidate would not have been.
