This is not exactly a story that would be easy to screw up....don’t know how they did it.
Haven’t they heard to use 2 sources? My editor would kill me if I used one anonymous source......
I’m sure you don’t want to disclose who you write for, but it may be an interesting scoop to expose the coordinated effort by some media organizations to smear Palin with these stories. Another one was debunked tonight, the story of her defunding a home for unwed mothers (funding actually went up under Palin).. If you have the freedom to explore these, the evidence is there that the WaPo didn’t even take two seconds to research because finance reports from the IRS are available on the web in a two second google search.
