Governor Palin at RightOnline Conference: Matt Drudge and the Rise of the Citizen Journalist

Governor Palin at RightOnline Conference: Matt Drudge and the Rise of the Citizen Journalist


Governor Palin said the following on Friday night during her keynote address to the RightOnline 2012 conference:

The new media rose up precisely because the old media failed to tell the truth.  That very first new media breakthrough was about 15 years ago when this lowly little store clerk in a lowly little apartment equipped with his computer and a modem broke one of the biggest stories of the decade.  His name was Matt Drudge and the rest is history.  And in hindsight, we see that the story he broke was more than just a president having an affair.

To me it was much, much more than that.  It was about a major old media publication that had spiked the story eleven times. And they knew all about it.  Eleven times!  Not just once to check their facts.  Not twice just to double-check.  Eleven times they spiked the story.
