Palin Praised Many New Fox News Peers in ‘Going Rogue’

By Mary Kate Cary, Thomas Jefferson Street blog

As Sarah Palin joins the Fox team, I remembered finding this paragraph buried in the acknowledgements of Going Rogue:

To some media professionals whom I admire because you don't let anyone tell you to sit down and shut up, please keep making the idiots' heads spin. Thanks for not taking our Freedom of the Press for granted, you bold and patriotic, fair and balanced media folks. Keep calling it like you see it: Amanda, Andrew, Ann, Bill(s), Bob, Cal, Dennis, Dick, Eddie, Fred, Glenn, Greta, Hugh, Joey, John, Jonah, Larry, Laura, Lou, Mark, Mary, Michael, Michelle, R.A.M., Rich, Rush, S.E., Sean, Tammy, Walter ... and there are more. I join you in standing up for what is right. Remember that as your voice is heard and your spine is stiffened, the spines of others are stiffened, too.

I wonder who the "idiots" are: liberal pundits on other networks? Politicians? Or does she mean the viewers?
