TEN FUCKING AP GOONS are doing the “fact checking.”
Sarah Palin’s new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven’t become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer’s dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.
Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too. She criticizes President Barack Obama for pushing through a bailout package that actually was achieved by his Republican predecessor George W. Bush — a package she seemed to support at the time.
I wonder where they were when Obama came out with his books? Or if they bothered to check out his claims to being born in the US?
I have no problem with authors getting their claims checked out. What I demand, for the sake of credibility and journalistic integrity, is that all authors be subjected to the same rigorous checks.
Failure to do so renders anything they might say, no matter how truthful, as meaningless drivel because once you’ve lost credibility with partisan tactics you deserve no respect.
It makes you wonder why just her book gets “fact checked”? Also, who’s doing the fact checking? How do we know they’re using the correct information or figures? Because the AP says it, we’re suppose to believe it? The left fears Palin more than anybody else in America.
Please, God, Protect Sarah Palin and her entire family. Just like the UK had its Iron Lady thirty years ago, so too the USA needs an IRON EAGLE.
