Matthew Continetti talked about the media reaction to Sarah Palin and his book, The Persecution of Sarah Palin: How the Elite Media Tried to Bring Down a Rising Star (Sentinel; November 12, 2009). In his book he contends that Sarah Palin was excessively attacked by the media. He argues that her personal life was unfairly targeted and that her words were 'spun' to distort her message. Video clips of 2008 presidential campaign events were shown in the background. He responded to telephone calls and electronic communications.
