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

Obama didn't get as much attention as Palin???? :spin:

Obama certainly didn't get as much scrutiny, nor was he as much of a polarizing figure. He was polarizing, for sure...but not as much as Palin.
 
Provide evidence please.

You must be kidding.

You want evidence that the media fact-checks books? Do you read?

You want evidence that the more reporters you assign to do that, the faster it will happen?
 
Why are you bringing common sense into this? And why does it matter how many fact checkers check her book...if she was honest, they will declare her so, if not, then 11 will just point out the innacuracies faster. Should books not be fact checked?

Yes they should... so how many fact checkers checked Al Gore's Inconvenient Truth book when it came out?

I could care less if they fact check her book. More power to them. I just don't buy this bs about AP picking on her for purely partisan reasons.

Well, when one makes a claim that all books are fact checked, it should be easy to provide evidence that this claim is fact.

Provide evidence that all books are fact checked... and when you cannot don't make outrageous unsubstantiated claims. got it?

No, books should not be fact checked.....


Unless they are Written by Sarah Palin.

I guess no one wants to write a fiction novel anymore these days :( Always gotta check the FACTS!

That's like saying prove that all reporters rely on sources to write their stories. It's one of those obvious things that you'd only question if you have no real argument. Go read thousands of book reviews and tell me if any of them contain challenges to facts.

It is routine to fact check books before reviewing or commenting on them in the media. That goes without saying. Calling this claim "outrageous" is silly. Don't waste our time with this one.

Someone should have fact checked that "Million Little Pieces" book sooner. :lol:

That's not what's being discussed here - stay on topic. The statement was made that all books are fact checked the same way as Palin's book is being fact checked - which is ludicrous. I pointed out the stupidity of such a statement. My argument is: Not all books are fact checked with AP reporters.

Prove it's routine. :doh

Is it on pace to be the best selling nonfiction book in recent history? Palin's is.
 
Every political book release is fact checked. The more people you put on the job, the faster it gets done.

Name on left wing book that has been fact checked like Palin's has. We'll be waiting.
 
Her book as far as facts go is good for toilet paper and that's about it...

She quit.

She lost.

She lies.

She has been a blithering idiot from day one.

She didn't even write this roll of toilet paper.

But she is a fine representative of the current leadership of the Republican party.

I say fact check the hell out of this piece of trash. She deserves nothing more.

She would do a better job than the clowns that are ramrodding the show, now.

Her nimrod wacko base are certainly never ever going to ramrod the show...they are just going to make this dimwit rich....and then she will most likely quit on them too.
 
i find it interesting that you omitted this part of the article:

The attraction to Palin doesn't appear to be partisan, since AP didn't fact-check recent political tomes by Republicans Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich.[/go figure.

Right. So just Palin was singled out and that was just a fluke those other liberals never had their books fact checked.
 
fortunately, we'll never know.

You hope!...:rofl

You do realize the truckloads of **** you Libbos are going to have to eat if she makes it to the Oval Office. Right?

I would love to see her win the WH, if for no other reason than watch you Libbos piss and moan about it.

The only thing that is out-pacing the growth of her base is the shrinkage of PBO's base...:rofl

Tell me apdst...what percentage of the voting public support the losing, quitter ex-gov?

What percentage of the right as a whole support the losing, quitter ex-gov?

I'm telling you she is only out to take your money and Run...She has a history of quitting on her commitments.

But if the Right wing base are so stupid as to fall for that then they deserve what they are paying for.

By the time PBO gets done ****ing up this country as much as he can over the next three years, a monkey could run against him and win.

If I were you, I wouldn't worry about Palin's poll numbers, but instead, would worry about how PBO's poll numbers are sinking like a turd in a punch bowl.
 
Right. So just Palin was singled out and that was just a fluke those other liberals never had their books fact checked.

How many of those liberal books have sold 1.6 million copies? It is the success of the book, and the fact that Palin is one of the most polarizing figures in public today, that singled her out. I find it amazing how some grab at one fact and ignore the other pertinent details. What an odd world they must live in.
