Washington, Nov 19 Sarah Palin has criticised the media and dubbed it "lamestream" for distorting the "facts" written in her book, "Going Rogue: An American Life".

Palin said on a radio show that "some on the left, that lamestream media, they're contradicting what I wrote in the book, " reports the Politico.

When the host asked the former Alaska Governor if she had actually said lamestream media, Palin said: "Yeah, lamestream...They are contradicting those facts that I laid out regarding what Reagan had to say.

"Anyways, it's been nonsense to hear some of the criticism of that principle there, and that is what history shows us is what Ronald Reagan did was put American back on the right path.... We need to emulate that."

She added: "We need to repeat that instead of going back to the 1930s and think that some growth of government, New Deal spending is going to get us out of a recession," she said. "It is, of course, going to cause greater problems."

However, Palin refrained from naming any person who was distorting her view of Reagan's policies. While kicking off her book tour at a bookstore later she asked people to "read truth" in her book. (ANI)
