Why Palin shouldn’t run in 2012

But what worries me is that the very same news media, which has essentially assassinated her character since late 2008 (and which she has played to her great advantage for at least the past year) will have a profound economic and political incentive to coax her into running. They would like nothing better than the huge ratings that would come from a Palin run and will be thirsting like vampires just before dawn at the very thought of getting another chance to kill her off.

It is quite possible that with the media playing their siren’s song, her fans chanting “run, Sarah, run!,” her obsequious advisors hoping for campaign jobs, and with the specter of being the first female nominated for president tantalizingly within her grasp, the temptation may just be too great for her or any other human to resist. If she is able to do so, it will forever prove that media’s narrative about her could not be more wrong.

John Ziegler is currently a documentary filmmaker who most recently released a movie on the 2008 election called, “Media Malpractice… How Obama Got Elected and Palin Was Targeted.” He has also been in radio talk show host in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Louisville and Nashville. Ziegler has written two books and has appeared live on numerous national television shows including the Today Show, The View, Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC.
