Well let's all hope that TMZ is NOT the ones who end up with that Palin brawl tape.

Somebody sent me this link to a Buzzfeed story from back in July.

Check this part out:  

TMZ’s real engine — what defines its mission, what legitimizes it and sets it apart — is a unique and controversial mix of scandal mongering and investigative journalism. But it’s also that mode that some have claimed is responsible for acquiring a video of Justin Bieber telling a racist joke and, over the course of four years, not publishing it. 

BuzzFeed spoke to nearly two dozen former TMZ employees, and it’s clear that Bieber’s tape was not the only near-priceless piece of dirt in the proverbial TMZ vault. (TMZ did not respond to multiple requests for comment.) According to these ex-employees, the sealed testimonies from the Michael Jackson molestation trial hide there as does footage of various celebrities — Bieber, Lohan, Travolta — behaving badly. The vault isn’t a secret at TMZ — even the lowest on the staff ladder have heard whispers of its existence. As to what goes up on the site and what stays vaulted, that’s a finer, more esoteric calculus — and one in which celebrities and their publicists have come to live in fear. As one source explained, “There’s no doubt: [Harvey] Levin absolutely changed the way celebrities function today.”

Getting access to the brawl footage could bring TMZ significant hits on its website, or it could give them control over one the of the most famous names in politics.

I would not suggest that Palin is anywhere near the caliber of celebrity that are mentioned concerning those other videos but if TMZ is in the habit of collecting scandalous materials for safe keeping then this would certainly qualify.

And they HAVE been known to cover for Palin in the past.

That makes me hope that in a bidding war the National Enquirer, Gawker, or E entertainment has deeper pockets on their side.

    TMZ is very stupid or very smart.
    They think Palin getting a speeding ticket is a TMZ $ maker but that brawl footage is not worth releasing?
    I kinda like that the Palins will have to pay big - they sure know blackmail - but I think GOP may end up footing the bill. But, the deal could be that Sarah has to call TMZ every time she shits, farts, waxes, etc, then that is fun! She degrades more and more into Real Housewives land.

    TMZ is owned by Rupert Murdoch, Palin's employer. Another reason the tape would be vaulted.

      Rupert Murdoch does NOT own TMZ. They broadcast the TMZ show, but the site is owned by Harvey Levin, a disgusting pig of a man who stab his own mother for a buck. That's not why the tape won't be released by them.

      And anyway, Murdoch HATES Sarah. He wouldn't protect her, especially not if there was money to be had.

    It makes sense that Harvey would cover for the kardashians. Kris Jenner gives them tips about other celebrities but the Palins have nothing to offer other than $$$$. If the Palins think they can trust him, though, the joke will be on them.

      There is NO way the Palins can begin to offer (to TMZ or any other outlet) as much as the Jenners/Kardashians are able to do!

      The later have far more money and know far more celebrities than do the Palins. Plus, the Jenners/Kardashians are gorgeous and classy people where the Palins are nothing more than 'white trash' from a very small town in a very small populated state known as Alaska!

      The Kardashians might have lot of money but class? No they don't have class. They are all famous because their prize heifer, Kim, got pissed on and fucked on tape and the mother marketed the tape rather than try to shut it down. She pimped out her daughter's sex tape to begin to build their undeserved fortune. That's equally as classless as Palin marching her knocked up daughter onto the national stage and carting around her special needs kid to win fans. The Kardashians are a mess, even those two girls she had with Bruce Jenner, it was recently discovered that Kendall, the then 16-year old can't even read! It's all about the pimp and the glamour yet the poor kid is illiterate!

    You Want the Palin Brawl? Here it is.

    ...Most of the details of the drunken rumpus are known at this point, and take but a few minutes of googling and following links, but I did talk to my own source who had a couple things to add to the growing body of first person accounts. Sarah and Todd Palin were invited to a birthday party for Mark and Matt McKenna, twin brothers who own McKenna’s Paving, a successful business in Anchorage. The party was held at an address in the South Anchorage community of Oceanview. I lived in Oceanview once upon a time. It’s nice. There are tree-lined streets, and lilac bushes, and lots of little cul-de-sacs where kids ride bikes in circles and play hopscotch. Nothing much happens there, and that’s why people like it. When people throw parties, they are usually subdued back yard affairs. I never saw the police once in the five years I lived there. And if I lived there still, I might be sitting on some sweet cell phone video right now which I could share with you. Wouldn’t that have been something… But, alas.

    The Palins arrived at the party, but not just Sarah and Todd who were the only actual invitees from the clan – the whole fan-damnily and some other tagalong friends from Wasilla turned up in a stretch Hummer limo. Because, of course they did. The party was an adult and relaxed event, with most guests at least in their 30s. Reports have come in that Track got into a fight with an ex-boyfriend of Willow’s. But according to my source, the initial fight started when Track and his buddy were aggressively pursuing… how shall I put this… “romantic relations” with some female guests. They were allegedly explicit and crude in their depictions of what they’d like to do with and to the ladies, expressing a desire to “bend them over on the lawn,” according to my source. Apparently the lawn was large enough to include places one could be “bent over.”

    Hey. You guys wanted this… don’t look at me.

    As Track and his companion were wooing the ladies with honeyed words, certain individuals took exception to it – namely the husbands of the women in question, whose presence right there with their wives the whole time was no deterrant to our confident and ambitious Casanovas from the Mat-Su.

    Track did not fare well in the ensuing confrontation with the spouse. The irate husband punched Track with the full force of his annoyance, and the young Palin ended up “spread eagle lying on the grass.” You could say someone did end up bent over on the lawn, but not in the way he first envisioned.

    Track’s buddies then got involved in the fracas to defend the honor of their fallen comrade, others followed, and soon Bristol Palin began to punch the host in the face for reasons we do not fully understand. Repeatedly. Then Todd showed up and joined the scrum, ending up with a bloody nose out of the deal. Did I mention that it happened to be his 50th birthday? He probably won’t forget the big 5-Ohhhh.

    Then Sarah shrieked, “Don’t you know who I am?” and other such things making clear the importance of the Palins, and the lack of importance of the non-Palins to whom she was speaking. She then apparently tried to fling herself on top of the giant dog pile into the middle of the melée.

    If there’s one thing the Palin’s have learned from the last six years...

      Not haters for seeing Jeanne and shannyn for who they are-celeb wannabes just like skank. Both used joe mcg for their own sycophantic agendas and then hung him out to dry publicly when he called them out on their duplicity. Shannyn Moore was happy for her three seconds of fame in 2008 when Keith o and a few others interviewed her for their news stories.

      She has said she covers politics and skank isn't in politics-I cry bs. It only takes one diligent reporter to uncover corruption and get it in the national news alas the reporter who covered bridgegate. He was a local guy who stayed n the story.

      Jeanne and shannyn both for their own reasons left the biggest corruption case alone-the palin family. That shows they are only in it for the money and not for the news.

      Before you lovers of these two start up just remember how they treated joe mcg. They were all over him when it brought them a bit of attention because he is a world famous author. When he called them on their duplicity they both publicly aired their grievances. Notice he didn't and definitely could have.

      Just two more celeb wannabes who could uncover the corruption in Alaska but instead have their own flying monkeys they unleash when anyone dares to speak against them.

      Journalists in the lower 48 want to know how corrupt are Alaskan journalist?

      Its the Palin trolls calling ppl "haters" you can always tell. Yes AKM treated JM badly but she also had a hand in some very underhanded things around that/Beerfart.
      Suddenly they "dropped babygate".
      She is going with the "Warrior son spin" and
      left in the limo even tho Amanda Coyne Said how many times? TRIPP WAS THERE!
      Of course the bots want the spin to be in favor of the palins.
      As far as the red bull comment ummm just watch her Col from this year and I ask you wtf is in the red bull?
      "Just two more celeb wannabes who could uncover the corruption in Alaska but instead have their own flying monkeys they unleash when anyone dares to speak against them."
      This is TOTALLY correct as well as akm herself trolling other blogs and if you said anything about her she would EMAIL you, she wanted to censor online and kicked people out of her "special" forum if they didn't toe the line.
      Her write up was entertaining, but followed closely Scott from RCP....

    11. Todd broke a tooth1:55 PM

      A hundred % right about Jeanne and Shannyn. They were part of a great tapestry of AK bloggers including Gryphen, and then when fame came calling and TPTB told them baby gate pursuance might mean no Hollywood lights........well all if a sudden it's a mean girls club who's all "Gryphen? We hate that guy. He's so like, not on our level, like duh!"

      I have not read either since it was proven beyond any doubt how they treated poor Joe McGinness.....Joe who was not out for partisan politics or more fame which he didn't need, but was only out for the truth.

      The way they suddenly acted like anyone pushing baby gate was a tinfoiler was also unconscionable. They both know the truth and they are just like Sarah, burying truth for fame and money.


      Gryphen stuck it out with the TRUTH no matter how unsavory, and this past week every major news media outlet in the country and many abroad have recognized Gryphen. But outside of Alaska, it's "Jeanne who? Shannyn what?"

      And they all earned their respective outcomes. I'm not trying to sound like a Gryphen kissass, but I'm mighty proud that he stuck with the most relevant and explosive Palin lie to date, Trig's birth and parentage........he could have done like Jeanne and deleted any Trig comments, treating readers like Dorothy and tin man as she mans the controls behind the giant curtain. "Pay no attention to the woman behind the curtain.....or the fact that Sarah Palin lied about being pregnant......hey look, a MOOSE! Named BRYAN! Isn't that INTERESTING??!! Ooooh, ahhhhhh. Look at the pretty moosie, that's right.......baby? What baby? I don't know of any baby........."


      Gryphen IS an American hero. He stayed the course when even seasoned journalists were put off it. And I used to hope one day Trig might be able to thank Gryphen for never losing sight of his welfare. But due to Sarah's willfull neglect, I don't believe that will ever happen now. Trig's chances for a fulfilling life were purposely snuffed out by Sarah, who didn't want to provide a pesky birth certificate to register him for vital therapies which should have started in infancy.

      For championing this defenseless child's cause alone, Jesse Griffin is a hero. For working year after year to educate and inform all of us here in Alaska, he is a true Alaskan and American patriot.

      THAT IS A CRITICAL PART OF ALL THIS. Was Tripp in a vehicle where Palin family and buddies were using drugs? Drinking alcohol? Both or what?

      Was he both in the limo with a driver as the responsible care giver and at another time at the party and in the middle of a violent attack with his mother?

      Why is Tripp's well being not at the forefront of this incident? There are places in this country where the limo would have been thoroughly checked just to insure there were not further child endangerment.

      The whole world will think that all of America is like the Palins or accepts the Palin way with children. The police in America do not protect children and how easy to abuse a child if you can pressure or bribe the law.

      This is a disgrace for our whole country. A disgrace for the way we treat children and the way our authorities are handling these incidents.

      I would suspect though, that once the brawl began that photos were taken. I just can't imagine photos not being taken once the melee broke out! It would have been important footage to sell to some outlet, or to Todd and Sarah, because they would have wanted it (the footage) hidden forever.

  13. Unless TMZ reached an agreement with every person with a video or photos, it is hard to see how holding back the photos or video that they managed to get would help them.

    If other people reach deals with other media outlets, the only result for TMZ would be that another media outlet broke the story (with photo/video proof) first. I doubt if they would want that to happen.

    If any charges are filed, then media would almost certainly ask for the evidence to be released.

    This is not the same as one person with a phone filming a celebrity saying or doing something stupid that no one else heard or was paying attention to.

    TMZ probably knows exactly what will profit them more, holding things back (for future profits) or breaking the story now (for instant big profits on a headline story).

      If Harvey is sitting on a scoop, it is for his benefit. I agree he wouldn't think he has all the video. He knows that no one is ready to give anything up. It has also been mentioned that APD has blocked any evidence from being released.

      It is funny that no one is pushing APD. Sure they can use the old we're 'investigating' routine. No one is demanding answers about Tripp whose well being is in jeopardy. They can say the standby excuses. They need to be hammered.

      In most states, by now Tripp would be interviewed in the right setting and telling his story.

  16. Also, Palin might have thought all these years that she was controlling TMZ, that they wanted all her news, and were grateful to her for graciously giving them exclusives and first crack at Palin-friendly stories.

    She undoubtedly never had a clue that all she is to TMZ is a product. TMZ will use their connection with Palin in whatever way is going to best increase their bottom line.

    Sitting on stories may well create a co-operative fearfulness in celebrities that is good for TMZ. On the other hand, being the first to break a major story (with the proof of the story) will a) be very profitable and b) keep that sense of fear in other celebrities prone to doing stupid things. Win-win for TMZ.

    If TMZ decides that Palin is on her way out, they may decide to cash in now.

      But celebrities, and others--and Palins--become violent and strike cameramen--and partygoers--because they are out of control with rage, not because of bad publicity. People like the Palins can't tolerate the thought of anyone saying anything bad about them, even if it's true.

    I don't usually follow politicians' train wrecks in the media or celebrate their downfalls, as their families & kids always get hoovered up in the mess. But Palin is different. To me she embodies EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing conservatives these days--venal, ignorant, racist, sexist thugs. That she's a woman leveraging this conservative garbage for her own personal gain makes it even worse IMHO. It takes so much away from the truly dedicated, smart, hard-working women trying to make the country a better place, rather than diving on the first $50 bill they see. It didn't take long for many of us to figure out what an egregious fraud she is--well here finally it is--the chickens coming home to roost...may they continue to do so....and I'm very happy about it.

    I'm puzzled by TMZ and tend toward the belief they have the tapes and are sitting on them. They and Radar are the only two "rags" who have completely ignored the brawl while it climbed up and out of the cesspool into the mainstream media. They put out the first Ray Rice tape pretty fast and I have to believe they had a hand in the release of the most damning one. That's they've given Palin a pass on the entire affair tells me a lot. We often hear the adage, it's not what someone does as much as what they don't do. In this case TMZ"s silence portends they know the most and have chosen to protect Palin. The downside for them is if/when there are tapes coming from other sources leaving TMZ's click revenue potential fading fast. I for one can hardly wait to see how much the PAC spends this quarter on consultants and postage.

Did they pave the bridge to nowhere? Did the pace the Hockey Rink? Were the jobs done with no bid contracts? A lot of bodies can be hidden by pavers. At my own grocery store there is a body under the pavement in produce. True story. By the time it was found out, they were not going to the expense of tearing down the store or even part of it.
