AP Turns Heads for Devoting 11 Reporters to Palin Book 'Fact Check'

Sarah Palin is no normal politician, and at the Associated Press, apparently "Going Rogue" is no normal book.
When the former Republican vice presidential candidate and former Alaska governor wrote her autobiography, the AP found a copy before its release date and assigned 11 people to fact check all 432 pages.
The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses and taxpayer-funded bailouts, using statements widely reported elsewhere. But it also speculated into Palin's motives for writing "Going Rogue: An American Life," stating as fact that the book "has all the characteristics of a pre-campaign manifesto."

Obama lost thousands. MILLIONS.
FIFY.

Anything like this happen with Obama's books? No? Gore's? No? Any other liberals? No? Gee, imagine that...

Well, CNN did fact-check that SNL skit that was a little critical of 0bama.... :whatever:

The AP claims Palin misstated her record with regard to travel expenses
They lied. Sarah's claim was that she mostly stayed in cheaper hotels/motels while governor. The AP points to one case where she and her kids stayed at an expensive place in NYC. That does not make her a liar, in fact it backs up her claim. Most of their other claims were just as specious.

They are afraid of her pure and simple

Exactly. A promising thought is that if she indeed decides to run...she will not have handlers that tell her what to say, what to wear...etc. She will be calling the shots...and that will only work in her favor. Sarah is great when she gets to be who she is.

Did they mention which hotel? Staying in NYC is expensive. My favorite hotel is a little less fancy than a Days Inn, but clean and in a safe area of midtown. Cost: $300/night. Smart travelers can pay that for the Waldorf and Hilton if they shop the sale dates :)

The AP probably devoted 11 reporters to praising Gore's and Obama's books.

To think that just a while ago the O administration had a snit about Fox fact checking them.

More crowds for Sarah in Indiana ! No fans of the AP here either :-)
