How ‘bout—NO frickin’ source? Some reporter probably got a fairy tale from Daily Kos or MoveOn and ran with it.

Will post a linked article when it comes out. Mathews says it seems the feeding frenzy is down to a minnow. An old DWI and a pregnant daughter. The Alaska Independent party Story was false and is now admitted to by the Times.

They are claiming "trouble with the source"

Trouble with the source? Or, trouble with the sauce? They report, you decide...

AIP was a group that the left claimed Palin was a member of. It supports a vote by Alaskans to choose its status ala Puerto Rico.

It was the story about Governor Palin supposedly being a member of a different party in the 90’s, not the Republican party. The New York Times didn’t VET their sources good enough...

Maybe I’m confused, but if the news hounds have trouble with the source, don’t they hold off on a story until they can confirm their information?

Sounds like the Times was eager to go with the story and hope it’s true. They are trying to bleed Sarah and give her the death of a thousand cuts. Can’t believe all this stuff that is being reported.

“Apologies” REALLY suck when the damage is already done. Typical NY Slimes Commie tactic. They knew what they were doing. They also knew is was bovine scatology from the start.

Just because it was fake doesn’t mean it wasn’t accurate.

Trouble with their source or trouble with losing 30,000 subscribers?
