Sarah Palin distrusts the “lame stream media” so much that she had to edit all of their coverage of her giant bus tour before adding their quotes to a video recap of that trip, according to Jon Stewart.

As Stewart pointed out on The Daily Show Monday night, Palin’s recently released video documenting her family vacation/campaign rollout bus tour is spiced with a number of partial soundbites from reporters. But in paring down those quotes, Stewart said Palin changed the original intent of those quotes.

“How propaganda-y was the video?,” Stewart said. “They found a way to use soundbites from lamestream media reporters whilst smoothly editing out any signs of their bewilderment or contempt.”

“I guarantee you theres an editing room floor littered with phrases like, ‘for some reason,’ and, ‘why,'” he added.
