Last week Discovery had its annual sales conference for ad buyers for all of its 13 networks. The presentation showcases all of their new shows across the different networks. That night the presentation was on Sarah Palin's Alaska.
Our source says "the whole thing [was] comical." Apparently the ad buyers were not impressed. This Discovery insider said, "When the promo was over, people (employees and buyers) were rolling their eyes, snickering, and even laughing. People were laughing and it's not even a comedy. No one took it seriously."
This person was concerned that given the lack of interest from ad buyers that Discovery would have to dump the show to "a crappy time slot" to cut its losses. They added, "Bottom line everyone thought it was a new all time low for Discovery. My guess is the show is going to tank big time."

This does not bode well for teabaggers. If she is put in a lousy time spot they will have to search and that means bringing out the dictionary.

Two words that will NEVER be free-associated on a game-show like $20,000 Pyramid: how about 'Palin' and 'Discovery'?
Whatsamatter? You don't believe me?
OK, try this one on for size: "Sarah Palin has a deeply-embedded thirst for the discovery of facts". Nope. Not even close...
What were they thinking?

I would really like for Sarah to get on top of a mountain from her house and show us Russia on camera.

Waaaaait, Sarah Palin is presenting Alaska to us?
"Look at all the untapped natural resources. That pisses me off. It's time to strip mine the mountains and drill for oil! Raindeer pelts for everyone!"

The problem is that the Discovery Channel is quickly losing credibility so it will be more like a turd in the turd bowl.

sounds like they need to just promote it as a comedy and it'll be fine
