Summary: "Last night on The Young Turks we broke the story of reaction to Sarah Palin's new show inside Discovery. We have an inside source at Discovery Communications and we've been leaked information on Sarah Palin's show for The Learning Channel". You can read the http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cenk-uygur/discovery-insider-sarah-p_b_537178.html|read the HuffPo story here> or http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x8148536|join the DU discussion thread> on the topic.

PS---Check out (and subscribe to) our new channel, . As the name suggests, it's all great interviews with members of Congress, Media Matters reps, notable media figures, authors, journalists, reporters, conservatives (yes, conservatives) and much more.

1. "The Deadliest Wretch"?

Catching crabs in Alaska?

3. Sarah Palin and The Learning Channel - Two things I would never expect to see together.

Yeah, here is a winner for you. I would love to hear the sales pitch on how her followers are big fans of The Learning channel. :)

On a related note, I always find it to be so pathetic how Beck and Limbaugh have to continuously tell their audience just how smart they are. Not sure how many people here listen to them, but it seems like mission for both of them to keep coaching their audience into believing that they are really smart. No lie. It seemed like a big part of the show for Beck for a solid week. I can't think of any left-leaning talk show that has to keep telling their audience how smart they are. So sad. The saddest part is that they probably increase their number of supporters because for a vast majority of their audience, this may be the first time in their lives that somebody actually told them that they are smart.

17. She could be a good fit for TLC

People are Learning... Learning what a dimwit she is

[Lerkfish]

20. FWIW, the learning channel also carried things like Jon and Kate plus eight

so, its not like they've shied away from train wrecks in the past.

[ThatsMyBarack]

24. Not to mention....

23 different flavors of the Duggars and other mass-breeding shows!

[Vermontgrown]

4. This is something.

I can't believe any network would even consider hiring someone so fucking dumb. Must be these guys think with their dicks. I can see no good reason to have someone that stupid on a channel called the learning channel unless they think she just might possibly learn something from it. But, that can't possibly happen.

5. She is a ridiculous caricture of herself

Bill Chrystal's invention of a female, easily controled, Dubbya, meatpuppet.

[florida08]

6. What's weird

is her anti-environmental stance. Discovery is usually pro environment. She voted against a clean water initiative in Alaska

8. Check out Cenk's last paragraph in the HuffPo story on this.

11. here is the paragraph:

snip>
Many people would argue that Palin did great ecological damage to Alaska and would like to do more by drilling all over it. So, getting her to host a show about the natural beauty of Alaska is a bit like getting Jeffrey Dahmer to host a cooking show for the Food Network. Yes, there's a big name attached, but is that the name you really want associated with your brand?



Jeffrey Dahmer cooking show!!!! :rofl:

[florida08]

12. ROFL

that's our Cenk..

what's next George Bush's ranch..lololol

thanks for sharing that

[whatsthebuzz]

23. The sad part is

It's the truth!

[happygoluckytoyou]

14. IN A RELATED STORY alaska declares clean water to be highly overrated

[vaberella]

7. I'm with Cenk on this...hahaha..too funny. Thanks Tom. n/t

[bulloney]

10. It seems when you talk to people outside of the bubble of her sheep and media...

there isn't too much respect out there for Palin. The consensus is she's a buffoon. But the MSM keep pumping her up daily and making it look like she's this fountain of wisdom and she has this huge percentage of the U.S. population eating out of her hand.

I would love to see her get the GOP nomination for president and go face-to-face in debates with Obama. Watching Palin trying to answer questions with her winking and 'you betchas' will be like witnessing an oncoming train wreck. I haven't seen where she's any more knowledgable on the issues today than when she debated Biden in 2008.

19. How incredibly disappointing that Discovery Channel would jump on the Sarah Palin band wagon.

The woman is controversial (to many), divisive, irritating, and ignorant.

[Ian David]

22. Bwahahaha!

Here is who will advertise on Caribou Barbie's show:

Prostate supplements
Survival seeds
Invention patenting scams
Buy Gold
Sell Gold
Coins minted from the corpses from 9/11
Oww! my ears won't stop ringing! Sell me a placebo!

[mirrera]

25. Great INTRO for a TYT video!!! Finally...

I always hated the silence at the start of TYT clips. It always made me check my speaker volume and then I would get blasted when Cenk came on. This is a much better format!

[Ian David]

26. This thread just went viral on Twitter :) n/t

[lame54]

27. She can still sell it to Comedy Central

[fascisthunter]

28. Oxymoron of the Year... "The Learning Channel" with Sarah Palin?

Talk about shooting oneself in the foot. Now ya know who owns TLC... thanks for discrediting yourself.

[erpowers]

30. $200,000 Per Episode

What were they thinking paying her $200,000 per episode? Why on earth would they pay her that much money? That was just stupid. Seriously, there have been people with fairly high rated shows that did not get paid that much money.

[oedura]

31. The "Learning" Channel has been...

...a toilet ever since the reality TV craze hit. Nothing but shit programming. It's hardly a surprise that a turd the size Palin should plop into the bowl.
