What? How could it be her fault? She probably released the rights to the image to Runner's World, which, according to this statement, did NOT release it to Newsweak, which, in turn, got it from the photographer. How could any of this be her fault?
You got me wrong, its certainly not Sarah’s fault but some trolls or Romneybots were going crazy earlier, blaming her for this saying that she should have made sure it wouldn’t be sold or used for other purposes.
She had to give permission when she posed for the pictures. Her people could have insisted that the photos be under her control, or only for use by Runner’s world.
Not that I EXPECT she would have thought to do that, but you asked how it COULD be her fault. I know that when my family posed for pictures for a magazine article, we signed a release but didn’t make sure it was exclusive for the magazine in question.
