Reality Show Star Sarah Palin Attacks ‘Quasi-Conservative’ Fox News For Calling Her Candidacy A Reality Show

Watch as Sarah Palin becomes visibly angry with her Fox News colleagues for calling her potential presidential run a “reality show.”

Star of reality shows “Amazing America” and “Sarah Palin’s Alaska,” Sarah Palin delivered what many believe to be her worst speech ever this past weekend at the Iowa Freedom Summit. Her teleprompter reportedly stopped working and she had to wing it, but even “a lot of” conservatives voiced disbelief and disappointment over just how far their former savior had fallen.

Even Fox News host Bill O’Reilly quipped about a potential 2016 race to the White House were it to include GOP candidates Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, and Chris Christie. “Wow, talk about a reality show,” he said Monday.

So of course, Palin, ego hurt and future threatened, did what any conservative would do. She went on Fox News to try to fix the damage.

Remember of course that the former Alaska Republican governor and former mayor of Wasilla is still a Fox News contributor, so it’s a bit shocking that she would attack her own network. But that’s what she did Tuesday night on “Hannity.”

Announcing that the race to the White House between Democrats and Republicans “is war,” Palin attacked Fox News for “looking at this as some kind of reality show, a joke.”

“Knowing what the media is going to do, it’s going to take more than a village to beat Hillary [Clinton],” Palin told a deferential Sean Hannity. “There needs to be unity, understanding that conservatives have that strike against us right off the bat — that being the media.”

“Even there on Fox, kind of a quasi- or assumed conservative outlet,” Palin argued, “we have all day listening to the tease with Bill O’Reilly’s, he’s talking about the guests on his show tonight, or the commentary on his show, and that would be, ‘Oh, all these GOP contenders thinking about running like Donald Trump, Sarah Palin,’ and he names them off – he says, ‘Oh, what a reality show that would be, yuck-yuck.’”

The segment is a bit long but the first minute is important to see just how closed-mouth and angry Palin starts out. Jump ahead to the 4:30 mark if you must. Watch:
