CNN

Leave her alone. You know the whole United States is not like the East or West Coast inner Cities.

Many like to hear her.

How can she be dumb (Bush) and dumber (Obama) then what we have been dealing with?

The United States is Center but all we get on the News is from the Left and from the Right.

Who cares? Both are sometimes correct. Both are wrong many times.

Moderates swing back and forth punishing the last idiot.

Drill, Drill Drill is stupid to the people that Mock her but in the center it means jobs.

People where she is from probably do not care Polar Bears if they had to come eye to eye with one.

She is cashing in to pay legal bills brought on to her.

Alex Tocquville would expect nothing less.

Let her go do her thing with people that want to hear it.

Good for you Sarah. The progressive media has clearly proven their journalistic ineptness..

She's scared of anyone who disagrees with her and knows the media will uncover any falsehoods she spews, of which there are usually dozens. Stupid people hate things like dictionaries, encyclopedias, and facts. But then so do Republicans.

What's Princess Palin so scared of?

She is such a wimp. She only goes places she knows she will be well received, by people who don't look hard at who she really is. She allows no press. She is a quitter and a wimp and she really embarasses me. She is clearly out for the money and does not care about anything but what is good for Sarah. She would be a disaster as anytype of leader, just like she quit in Alaska

Ah, Sarah Palin - the gift that keeps right on giving!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah's finally getting smart–she knows she can't trust the elite liberal mainstream media. Their favorite trick is to quote her verbatim to make her sound like a fool.

Let me see what she will say! Hmmm. Like "I went to four colleges to get my degree". "Run for a public office and once you have suckered the voters to elect you, QUIT! Run for president and if you lose, write a gossip book". It doesn't matter if you make mockery of yourself and others as long as you make MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Palin hates the press and cannot withstand media scrutiny are the reasons why she and her operatives barred the media from covering her book signing promotion tour to the Missouri Ozark's College. This is not the strategy that a potential political aspirant would use to build broad based public support for a future campaign for higher national office. In today's world of politics, you do not get a second chance to make a first impression. This is especially true in the world of national politics.

Palin is very charming, but so old school. The crowd who believes that overpricing medical care, medications and shelter and insurance for cars, homes, etc is the way to control the country. Well it is the way to bankrupt the country, as we can see. Those old ways are no longer sustainable for any country, the bubble has burst! !! We must put back money in to society, to much has gone out. Just so that the rich can out do one another in who has the most billions!! The future of our country demands that we give back to the masses so that we may flourish or we will destroy the very fafbric that we love, demacracy at it's best, is charitable. Inflation has destroyed America!! We need to freeze prices for necessities. The middle class must catch up, and be able to store up. The greedy, need to take a back seat!!

What's to hide? What could you possibly be afraid of? You have given us way to much to make us even wonder what innane gibberish you could spew out to a 'selected' audience.

wait a minute ... I thought obama was the one who was supposed to be the socialist. isn't the first step in socialism to "control the media"

?????

i guess I should expect that sort of hypocrisy from republicans

You know why people hide things? Because they're ashamed of 'em. That's why Palin only speaks to closed-door audiences, because she knows if the material she's spewing were allowed to go public, somebody would fact-check it and she'd be proven a liar.

Now I'm sure we'll hear from the conservatives, who will obliviously (and hilariously) spout about the evils of the "main stream media" while simultaneously reminding us that FOX's ratings are much higher than everybody else's (which would mean FOX is the MOST main-stream media, to anybody but an illogical conservative).

CNN is sure doing its part to help Sarah Palin become successful. CNN is FOX News #2.
Your prejudice against President Obama is evident and being talked about in many circles.
No wonder your ratings are dropping.

Just in case she makes a boo-boo. Twit!

Please, to anyone with a brain that decides to attend this or any other 'prohibited to press' Palin's speeches, take a camera with you. Cellphone cameras included. Record it and then show it to the world. We need to know not what she says in those speeches, but what is the reaction to them.

How in good conscience can a institution supposedly of higher learning possibly believe the Palin is a viable speaker? Oh wait, I now see it's NOT an institution of higher learning ... it's just a Christian College in Missouri!

Good for you Palin. You don't need the media. They are afraid of you because unlike Dem women, you're actually attractive and conservative. They can't handle that.

Obama, the mistake of 08.

wow, so she wants freedom of speech, but no media is allowed.
I hope the protestors show up in droves... LOL

Glad to hear the media weren't invited, there's zero chance that what takes place will have any resemblance to what would have been reported. Journalism is extinct, and she knows it. Places like this are for entertainment purposes only.

No reporters allowed while Palin is taking an English class.

It amazes me how much attention the Comrade News Network gives to Sarah Palin. It's hilarious how scared the left is that she's going to run for president. I've got news for you, guys - the more you cover her, the stronger and larger her base gets. The more attention you give her the more likely she is to run. And if she runs, your socialist darling in the White House is done.

It certainly looks like the Palin group (Cheney, Bush, Limbaugh, and others) along with a lot of members of the GOP do not like the press unless they control what is said and when. I wonder what would happen to free speech in America if any of those three ever came to a position of authority!

Oh Great, she gets to spew her hate behind closed doors with like-minded numb heads.

7 Article's about Palin on the CNN P.T.
I guess that explains why you are no longer America's choice for what is going on in the country.
1 Article on terorrist coming to America. MMMM Interesting, Agenda?

Love the quick poll on your fron page "Have you "unfriended" anyone in your social network"......good poll (waaaaa). If you click on the world section you will find the poll "Do you agree with holding the Terrorist trial in NY"...why dont you ask that on the front page?

If this person has true aspirations to hold public office again (even for a short time until a better money offer comes along) how can she expect to be taken seriously when she functions as a public figure who only operates behind closed doors? Someone has to explain to her that she can't have it both ways. If she is afraid of criticism and other viewpoints other than her own narrow ones, she does not belong in public life and perhaps should confine herself to appearing in cheesecake photos for running magazines for money.

I find it very interesting that Sarah is around the media only when she thinks it is advantageous to her. If she is going to bash the President, then they are off limits. Sarah, you are so superificial even Levi can see through you.

What is Palin afraid of by not allowing the media in to hear her speak? Oh, that's right. They are all liberal and biased against her because they ask questions when they find something she said isn't correct. They do something sneaky like checking facts.

Same old same old. Just like during the campaign, they always try to hide her speeches because she does not know what she is talking about.

Funny – College of the Ozarks – guess she falls short of Harvard or Yale.

Thats because the dimwit cannot string two complete sentences together and she's afraid the evil media will notice. Always the victim, she continues to pretend like Katie Couric was bellligerent and condescending instead of recognizing that she herself was the most ill-prepared bozo on the airwaves......poor, poor Sarah.

Sarah Palin has multiple personality disorder of the mouth.
She's disgusting. Does she ever tell the truth? Geez.

Does this air head thinks she can become President of the U.S. or have any major impact on the national scene without dealing with the press. She need to stop running, learn how to string a few sentences together, grap a geography book, revisit American history and historical international affairs, and face the music instead of acting like she has a single brain cell in her head.

What a hypocrite! Sarah (family values) Palin was apparently pregnant when she got married. She now rails about her christian values and how young people should practice abstinance rather than use birth control. It would seem she has first hand knowledge that abstinance doesn't work because it apparently didn't work in her life.

Does not matter, the mainstream media will just make up more stuff.

Especially not Newsweek.

I love all the sexiest, insulting comments by the democratic party of tolerance.

Let's one know just where they stand on issues of equality for women.

Palin is less of a human, let alone a woman, in a male dominated field to the Democrats simply because she chooses to be a Republican.

This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone. She can't speak! Why would she want anyone to listen to what she has to say when they might report that she, for most intelligent people that is, made no sense!

haha...CNN...why arent you covering all the "handpicked," townhalls for Obama and theliberal dems? When Palin decides that she doesn't want the misinformation media present...it creates a news article? Wow...liberals truly are afraid of the threat Palin poses.

Wow, someone invited her for a convocation???? What, Miss California was not available? Ahhh here comes the righties "all of you are afraid of her" nonsense. Well, yes, we might be. They have places called Mental Institutions for people like Sarah. I personally would like to see a competitive 2012 election race, so for the sake of your party Rethugs, choose Huck or Mitt please, otherwise it will be a blowout .............again. At least one of those two has half a chance of keeping it close.

Can someone please tell me why Sarah Palin is supposed to be interesting? Why would the media want to cover her speech? Its not as if she's articulate or even has something to say that means something outside right wing nut circles.

The immaturity of the media is a large part of why this country is in a death spiral. we have the choice of accepting what the media is saying blindly or taking it as entertainment only. Either way the American people have no means left to be well informed and that's a scary place to be. What ever happened with just reporting the facts? It went the way of the loyality of the American people for the future generations. The immaturity of the media is nothing more than a reflection of who we, their customers have become. We're done.

THANK GOD! Finally! Something where Palin talks and the media doesn't have to cover her foolish and arrogant comments. What a breath of fresh air!!! Yay!

Where is the real news on CNN. You are turning in to tabloid news. Where is the news about the falsified job info in the stimulus reporting...that's news. Where is the info on China questioning proposed US healthcare debt if passes (yes it does matter when they practically own us). Where is the news of Hoffman "unconceding". Where is your investigative reporting on fraud and waste in the goverment (both parties). It obviously doesnt get on the front page, I am sure it is buried somewhere in here. I just can't find it. Why is SEIU president Andrew Stern so cozy with the president. Where is the news on Afganistan, or Iraq (oh thats right, Obama prez now). Wake up people.

No press? She obviously cannot handle the heat in the kitchen and this is only a beginning. her complaints about a Newsweek cover are absurd in the face of the fact that she would be a Wasilla housewife still if she were not a pretty as the cover. All amateur politicians react this way when hit with the full force of public criticism. Toughen up or go home.

I'd hide too if I were Palin.

WHY is this NEWS CNN???? GROW UP FFS!!! "Andrews said the agreement is not unusual for the school..."
"This isn't the first time this has happened," she explained

Your obsession is becoming scary. PNN Palin News Network

Sarah Palin is going to be the next Ronald reagan for sure....just by the way the media is picking at her about everything....it so reminds me of the Reagan years...yet Sarah is an optomistic person like Reagan, she is conserative like Reagan, she believes in the American way of life, like Reagan, She is a fighter, like Reagan and she really gets under the skin of liberals....just like Reagan......The only people who think Sarah is a problem to be solved are the liberals.....us conseratives think she is the answer to our prayers.......Go Sarah....2012...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This was per the agreement that the College of the Ozarks had when had when we booked governor Palin for the convocation
--
She forgot that Palin is no longer governor but is former governor..

What is it that Palin has to hide? Why can't she face the media? Is she that afraid that she will mess up and she doesn't want it exposed in the media? Is she that insecure? She can't face the media NOW then God forbid she should ever get in the WH and ban the Press from every meeting, she would desolve the Press Core or probably would make Limbaugh, Beck, Hannity or Hoffman her Press Secrectary.......couldn't you just see her administration (made up of FOX News celebrties.....who is advising this woman? Doesn't she know that by Banning the media from every speech she gives is only going to make her more or a target with the media...........she is so lame it is pathetic...........

This is silly and simple. She is probably trying to get on her feet in front of a crowd without the expert speech writers and the fashion designers . She must have the perky Katie and the Everyday Joes and the indept questions of the CNN top interviewers to continue to look the top professional she has become in the light of the media's' attention. Sarah need to hurry and do a town hall with the media and take some hard questions and not with the stations' top but open it it to the second level. Without them she will will only fizzle. She can't bite the hand that feeds this frenzy and the base,

Hate to break it to you CNN but absolutely nobody with the exception of her "screw loose" fan club really gives a hoot.

They shouldn't be allowed, they are inappropriately hostile, and sexist.

Go Sarah.

More Palinmania from CNN!

Its super to see Sarah Palin rip huge chunks of flesh off of the Republican party to satisfy her owl lust for power and celebrity. She will be feasting for quite some time, but the main course will be served up at the 2012 election.

At least they won't have to look at the cheap stiff wig she's wearing these days.

It is time to stop covering this whiner.

Sarah is in love with the press, as long as it's Fox, Rush & Glenn.

All others will just slant it to reporting her actual words, Not what she MEANT by what she said.........

Oh Johnny, look what you have set loose on America.........

This woman is a big joke and just love all this attention because she is calling the shots. She is a attention grabbing self center person.

She is being primed for something BIG in the future, people !

Otherwise, why is this non-entity of a person in the news so much ?

With all the criticism coming out now, I'll bet she claims "family emergency" and QUITS the book tour.

Quitters never win, and she's the Iquitarod Queen.

This way the media can't document all the Lies, False statements and Hate. This women is a JOKE, PERIOD!!!

To address the common response by conservatives whenever a Palin issue comes up. Liberals are not afraid of Palin... CNN covers Palin because every news source has a funnies section. Comedy sells.

I love Sarah !!

Wonder if there will be any journalism grads in the audience? Or iReporters? Hmmm...that's a dilemma. Are they "media" or are they "graduates"?

Does everyone have to sign a non-disclosure agreement before hearing the gnostic wisdom she will no doubt share?

What if attendees post blogs about the speech? Does that make them "media"? Technically, they're reporting. What about tweets? Or just texting?

Or maybe the university has taken a page from the People's Republic of China and jammed mobile devices and blocked the internet on campus.

It's disappointing that a US university is still in the weeds when it comes to dealing the new realities of communication.

It must be particularly disappointing to the grads, whose degrees have just been devalued by the stone-age attitude of their alma mater.

So much for that whole anti-elitist "Jane Sixpack" image. Will the students each get a free copy of her book instead of a Diploma?

What would happen if the "Media" were to really leave her along? I think her value as a speaker, etc would do down,

No Media coverage. Does this mean that we'll all be spared from Media speculation about the speech? One can only pray that that will be the case.

This story is just a thinly veiled setup for detractors to criticize her for not having media present, and supporters to rally about how inspiring she is. I'm not falling for it. Sarah Palin is now a professional speaker and self-publicist. A speaker speaking isn't news.

Why does Sarah Palin have her own section on the CNN Politics page, right next to the War in Afghanistan and Health Care Reform? She isn't even remotely important compared to those issues! Why not a prominant section for more relevant figures such as McCain, Huckabee, Romney, or Steele? Heck, why not the PRESIDENT? Last I checked, CNN wasn't supposed to bet E! Politics Edition.

It would almost be worth her being elected president in 2016, just to watch the tragedy unfold from the relative safety of Europe.

Im really start to believe that she likes this attention from the media. And i dont think the Republicans candiates even know how to handle her because they knows she is popular within her own party.

Hmmm. Wonder when this wonder woman will allow the press – and the average American – hear any of her speeches. Oh yeah. Oprah and Walters...I forgot...were those speeches???

no media so no more coverage of this one hit wonder . she is spirraling down down down .. so say good night Gracie . and good night to Palin

No Surprise there !!!!.

Spin City for the clown princess

She is bringing all of these bad comments on herself. I think she has lost it. My question is what the heck is she doing anyway??????????

I also feel that she has to be center of attraction and this is why she is doing this. Why doesn't she just go back to Alaska and try and live a normal life. If she can. Who knows maybe they do not want her back there.

Does she realize what she is doing to her family?? Making them to shame.
And trashing the father of her grandchild. Woman you lost so leave us alone. I know I should not want to be a repulican at this time. GOP stop her some how and since her home.

Hey CNN, Isn't it getting a bit over done with the hype and coverage of the Alaskan Air Head?
You are looking more and more like a hen pecked loser jumping at every word the half baked politician utters.
Your not invited to the event but give her the publicity anyway.

You go girl! I admire you and your fortitude. I can't believe how the press treats you; but then they are the far left press. They much rather admire Ms.Dunn. I can hardly wait to read your book. It is in the mail according to Amazon. Hope you come to California so I can see you.

Good. No more media for this crazy lady. The Newsweek cover isn't sexist...unless the cover of Obama in his shorts was sexist as well. There should be a complete media ban on this woman...who cares about her new fiction book?!?!

All the better for her to spew her radical Fundamentalist nuttiness to her target audience without the scrutiny of the press.

I love the way the headlines for this story make it sound like she's hiding something. Personally, I think she should invite FOX news, and disallow the other media outlets, then compare the coverage of that to the coverage of The White House's decision, last month, to omit FOX News. The travesty here is in the soft bias in media coverage.

I just love this women. As VP nominee for the failed run at the white house, she is the defacto leader of her party. Keep up the good work Palin

Palin continues that she is strong and has absolutely no hesitancy in standing up and talking on that role.

The best thing she ever did was bump of that Dede Scozzafava character in Dede’s bit for a seat in congress. I heard Dede talk recently and she was surprisingly impressive – smart, clear point of view, articulate and she radiated confidence and maturity … I hate her!!!

Dede clearly has the potential to be a national political figure for the Republicans and as a moderate she could have attracted independents to that increasingly shrinking Party. Thank gooooooooodness Republicans are repulsed by unattractive intelligent women and instead embrace empty head, pretty ones.

Palin speaking behind closed doors to a fundamentalist evangelical christian bible camp moronically calling itself the "College of the Ozarks" and she wonders why the country thinks she's just a trailer park hillbilly from Alaska.

This woman is delusional and absolutely clueless...

Palin needs to shut up and CNN needs to stop covering her.

Of course the media isn't allowed. How can she lie without being fact-checked if the media is there?

So bascially this nitwit is doing all she can to censor coverage of her so she is not portrayed in a bad light before she runs for President in 2012. Just remember folks this is what her presidency will look like. She will censor the media if she actually manages to win.

Maybe the national media should follow suit with no more coverage of this mad woman...period...ever...

This is so transparent. The big secret will make more news than if it was Y'all come.

Somebody give Sarah Palin a "be quite pill." She is ranting and raving about how bad she is/have been treated. Sarah, you put yourself out there with the big dogs and not realizing that you are just a small pup.

If you would just give correct and accurate facts and not add so much of you into what you are saying, then you may become more comfortable talking with people who are well informed about different issues.

You are not ready for the political stage and should have opted for a more quite life back in Alaska, but you made enemies there as well. Its time for you to accept and acknowledge your own faults before you start accusing others of it. Everyone is not out to destroy you. Only you can do that.

I guess that some colleges don't consider freedom to question opinions. I always thought that College of the Ozarks was a very progressive institution. I hope that the students get the opportunity to question Ms Palin on some of her stances on issues. Of course we will never know will we, but then I am sure that she will truthfully reveal all that was said during the speaking engagement.

It obviously came from one side or the other...you don't just close a speech as a matter of policy...or does the school have something to hide? Not that we even care....Palin will talk about her 'faith and values" and how America is on the wrong path, and only she has the insight to lead us to the light.

*snort* She can't take it. "No press! No questions!"

Then it'll be "whine whine whine! Nobody's paying attention to me!"

I find it stupefying that this woman who goes around tellign us how precious our freedoms are and how they are being eroded by this administration makes it a habit of barring the FREE PRESS from her numerous public appearances. And no one finds that at all odd. Hmm.

She's probably not going to say anything she hasn't said dozens of times before. And even if she did, so what?

She will no doubt say goofy things that are out-of-the-mainstream.

What's next.....no questions for her highness? This broad is unbelievable.

So? This is a privately owned school...the press does not have carte blanche to go wherever and when ever they want....

She is not in politics anymore. Why is CNN still treating her like she is. Please move this to either the Opinion or Entertainment column.

Considering quality of education provided by this college Palin will feel right at home there.

She THRASHES the media – then she USES the media for her own good and benefit – then she THRASHES the media – then she USES the media for her advantage!!!!!

The MEDIA should STOP catering to her because there are sooooo many other INTERESTED FEMALES that actually uses their BRAINS!!! Palin is getting a FREE RIDE!!

Even when she EXCLUDES the media, she's STILL in the MEDIA???? So who do you blame – the MEDIA!!!!

Is media going to be allowed when Obama talks to Jeremiah Wright or Bill Ayers?

Well, sure. After she was demonstrated to have been spreading hateful lies to a pro-life gathering who was all too willing to believe her, she just doesn't want to get caught lying again. She does much better in controlled environments where's she's not held accountable.

Well, if you saw Oprah yesterday and, quite possibly if you see her w/Barbara Walters this eve, you can see why you would not want media around:

What does "uncaught" mean?

Is "foundational" a word? I guess you can push this to work, but ...

These are terms she used during the Oprah interview. There were more, but I couldn't remember all of them!

Talk about a media blitz,the bed wetters will be drooling at the mouth,no media,and a speech from Sarah Palin. Since they will have no one to spread inuendos and lies about they may decide to report the truth.That would be refreshing for a change would it not?

tons of dough in her pocket and free of the Governor's office, she's ready to enjoy herself as she takes down the Pelosi-Reed gang.....

Sarah Palin/Liz Cheney 2012'

Obama is ONE and DONE. Let's start the chant.

that's so she spout her flat earth, creationist drivel and not be called on it

Media is only suppose to cover "news worthy" events, right? So whats the big deal, nothing that has comes from Sara Palins mouth has ever been considered news worthy.

CNN why is this so important does Palin report on a daily basis multiple times. I did not buy her whiny book and I am disgusted with this woman and her ego problems; pure narcissistic. The way she is reported on a person would think she is already on the trail and if that happens I want to see how CNN reports.

She has already told us everything she knows.

Good. One thing I can actually agree with her on. Wish the press would stop covering every move she makes. She doesn't represent anything that helps. Why spend soooooo much time covering her. Has been! She is a perfect candidate for "where are they now".

Well duh. Sarah Palin, professional victim and habitual liar, wouldn't have it any other way.

Someone asked a person who took 6 years and five colleges to get a degree to speak at a convocation? What's she going to say? Don't worry about a real education, you can get by on your looks and a few winks in the right place? Sheesh.

Wow! Another opportunity to slam Levi Johnston and blame everyone else for the problems she caused herself. No wonder the media isn't allowed. And some people actually want her to run for President?!?

We cant stop laughing,thank you Sarah,eat day you bring fresh stupid humor.hahaha

Media – this could be a good trend! Stop reporting on her. Go completely dark and watch her struggle for your attention! At least we the public who can care less about her won't have to constantly hear about her again until something real happens.

Great – keep giving the airhead free advertisement and she will continue to keep you guys out of her hateful speeches.
