Early Read on Media Mention in Gov. Palin’s Speech

By Chris Ariens 

TVNewser has obtained a copy of Gov. Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech. In it, in just a matter of minutes, she will say this about the media:

And I’ve learned quickly, these past few days, that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington elite, then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.

Expect wild applause…

> Update it wasn’t wild applause, but sustained boos from the audience, followed by Gov. Palin saying:

But here’s a little news flash for all those reporters and commentators: I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion — I’m going to Washington to serve the people of this country. Americans expect us to go to Washington for the right reasons, and not just to mingle with the right people.

That got the applause and a standing ovation.
