Breitbart decides to quote the fake politician from Alaska concerning a report about the fake campaign of Donald Trump.

So the story is that Buzzfeed's McKay Coppins, finagled his way into Donald Trump's good graces and was able to see the inner workings of Trump's newest fake campaign, this one for Governor of New York.

Apparently Trump took exception to some of what Coppins wrote in the piece published last Thursday.

Things such as this:

But after this morning, Trump can no longer escape the fact that his political “career” — a long con that the blustery billionaire has perpetrated on the country for 25 years by repeatedly pretending to consider various runs for office, only to bail out after generating hundreds of headlines — finally appears to be on the brink of collapse.

The reason: Nobody seems to believe him anymore.

This was evident earlier this morning at the Politics & Eggs forum — a longtime rite of passage for presidential prospects looking to get face time in the Granite State — where Trump triumphantly announced that he had drawn the biggest audience in the history of the event.

It was true: A few hundred Republicans had reshuffled their Tuesday morning schedules to take in the spectacle. But as soon as he opened his mouth, it became clear he was aiming his remarks at the reporters in the back of the room, peppering his speech with deliberate tweetbait like, “I wish I would have run [in 2012] because I would have won” and “[Chris Christie] is one email away from disaster.” His rambling style of public speaking, in which he drifts from one subject to another without a thematic anchor, occasionally landed him in choppy rhetorical waters. “Whether or not you liked Saddam Hussein,” he inexplicably told the crowd at one point, “he used to kill terrorists.”

Standing by the press riser in the back of the cafeteria, I kept looking around to see if Trump’s comments were setting off the sort of frenzy he routinely generated in the political media during the 2012 campaign cycle. Instead, I saw a bored gaggle of blank-faced cameramen and sleepy local reporters begrudgingly there on their editors’ orders. Some chatted idly with one another, ignoring Trump’s speech entirely, while others swiped casually at their iPhones. I became mildly self-conscious when I realized I was the only reporter from a national outlet who had ventured outside the Acela corridor to see the Donald in action. All morning, I got the same question over and over from the local reporters.

“You didn’t come all the way up here for this, did you?”

Oh yeah, THAT'S going to leave a mark.

In response the Right Wing outrage machine kicked into high gear. (Okay, maybe it was only medium gear since this thing is already a week old and I am just now hearing about it. And it was only yesterday that Trump himself spoke to Breitbart about it.)

So looking for Right Wing firebrands to come to "The Donald's" rescue, Breitbart made contact with Palin and asked her to contribute a little venom for the cause. And of course she was happy to do so:

"This nervous geek isn't fit to tie the Donald's wingtips," Palin told Breitbart News after Trump ripped Coppins for lampooning him with what he alleged were out-of-context quotes and boorish behavior at Trump's Florida resort. "Don't ever give him attention again."

This is something Palin knows all too well. In 2008, she was the running mate for a candidate who once boasted that the mainstream media was his "base." But just as soon as John McCain secured the GOP nomination, the mainstream press savagely turned on him. They asked him questions on his "Straight Talk Express" bus about things like viagra and birth control in a seeming effort to make him look old, cranky, and out of touch against the "exciting" Barack Obama, whom the press neither vetted nor criticized as they drooled over his "historical" candidacy.

But even that paled in comparison to how they vilified Palin, the "Caribou Barbie," during and after the campaign. The low point may have occurred when Rep. Gabby Giffords (D-AZ) was shot in 2011: CNN, which by its own account did not have any evidence whatsoever, suggested Palin's political rhetoric may have been a cause of the attempted murder.

Palin has said she does not need to cooperate with outlets and reporters from the "lamestream" press that have a track record of biases and distortions.

So essentially Palin's advice to Trump is to avoid any real reporters and stick to sympathetic conservative propagandists who will cover for his lack of credibility and try to not make him appear to be the clown that every other media outlet knows him to be.

I mean after all, look how well it is working for her.
