Exclusive: Sarah Palin Blasts ?Lying Scum Media? for Falsely Accusing Her of Saying Kamala Harris ?Prostituted? Herself

“For instance, I’m all about all of our freedoms, including the Second Amendment, and I would not, for instance, say, ‘yeah, mandatory gun confiscation’ — which is what the Democrats are rooting for and polling for — I would never have gone there in order to get that good coverage.”“I would have gotten a lot better coverage had I compromised my convictions, had I decided that I was just going to go with the flow in order to get that uni-party liberal coverage that would have been so much better,” Palin added.Watch the latest video at foxnews.comWhile Fox News’ headline for the interview accurately quoted Palin’s comments (“Sarah Palin on media double standard: ‘I wouldn’t have prostituted myself … to garner better press’”), other sites ran headlines that falsely claimed that Palin was accusing Harris of having “prostituted” herself.The Daily Beast’s headline, for example, stated: “Sarah Palin to Tucker Carlson: I Never Would Have ‘Prostituted’ Myself Like Kamala Harris.”The headline at Political Flare stated: “Sarah Palin Claims Kamala Harris ‘Prostituted’ Herself For The VP Nominee Position.”The false headlines caused Palin’s name to trend on Twitter Thursday and accumulated angry replies accusing her of making a sexist attack against Harris, which in turn inspired a Raw Story article with the headline: “‘Very Christian’ Sarah Palin slammed for sexist jab at Kamala Harris.”“My comment was obviously referring to fact that conservatives are too often tempted to change their positions and throw fellow Republicans under the bus in order to get better media coverage. I refuse to prostitute my principles in order to garner better press,” Palin said in an exclusive statement to Breitbart News.She added, “This is why we appreciate outlets like Breitbart allowing the record to be set straight because those in media with integrity understand the sanctity of a free press.”Palin also took to her Instagram account to slam the “Lying scum media” for their misleading headlines, one of which she highlighted in a side-by-side photo next to the accurate Fox News headline:Lying scum media… bless your hearts… you MADE MY POINT with your lies about my interview with Tucker Carlson last night.
