Ulin, David L. (September 15, 2011). "Book Review: Sarah Palin via Joe McGinniss: cocaine, infidelity and anonymity". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved September 15, 2011. "There's a not-so-subtle agenda underpinning Joe McGinniss' The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin, although it's never made explicit until late in the book. "The time has come to strike the tent," McGinniss begins the closing chapter. "[N]o matter how much my book sales might benefit from a Palin presidential campaign in 2012, I sincerely hope that the whole extravaganza, which has been unblushingly underwritten by a mainstream media willing to gamble the nation's future in exchange for the cheap thrill of watching a clown in high heels on a flying trapeze, is nearing the end of its run.""..."I have no doubt that McGinniss' view of Palin is accurate: that she is narcissistic, undisciplined and unqualified for public life. Still, I want more than innuendo to make the point."
