What a great idea, be honest and fulfill the promises you made to the voters who elected her.

She PROMISED to make an announcement in late August or early September.

She PROMISED to make an announcement in late August or early September.

Randy and mazz44, if you check the link P-Marlowe posted it takes you to a short AP story from July which reads:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she'll announce her intentions for the White House in late August or early September.

Note that it's the Associated Press writer who's "reporting" that Palin said that on the Hannity show, but he does not give a direct quote from the transcript of the show. If you do a search on this topic you'll find many more links which TALK ABOUT this "quote" from Palin without providing the original transcript or a link to actual video.

They're all just basically repeating the original AP story, and some of them actually put the phrase in quotes, but again, without providing the original source verification.

My professional background was in broadcast media syndication and I have some experience in this field. AP is a news syndication service, which means that they sell a news-feed to broadcast and print clients who mostly just rip AP's copy off the teletype, change a few words here and there, and regurgitate it to their local markets often with their own byline. I dealt with them all, AP, Reuters, et al. and I know from experience AP is one of the most dishonest and agenda-driven media entities in the world. Trust them at your peril.

Now, I don't know if that's really an accurate quote from Palin or not, but these people have not provided proof, merely hearsay.

That said, if you want to know the truth about this alleged Palin quote you'll need to research the Hannity archives at FOX and ignore the various third-party internet sources and the dishonest ankle-biters in these threads. My advice is it's really not important. The passage of time will sort all these issues out.
