Why isn't the MSM all over the Sarah Palin Baby Rumor?

Question

I mean, they would jump on a Rep in a heartbeat if there were even the slightest truth to the rumor. MSNBC, CNN, FOX, ABC, CBS, NBC, would be all over it. Not to mention how many Doctors, Nurses, Hospital Staff, Security, other Patients and Reporters would have to have been hushed up to cover it up. You need to drop the hype and go back to your Soap Opera Digests and National Enquirer,

Answer 1

Yes, have some sense.  Let's start choosing our leaders based on their political qualifications not lies and innuendo.

Answer 2

This rumor shows complete an utter panic in those indivduals that can not come up with anything worthy of an intelligent dialogue.

Answer 3

Because it's not true, and there's no evidence other than hearsay to suggest otherwise.

The folks who take the Daily Kos as their main source of news need to reevaluate their priorities.  Moveon.org didn't even pick that one up.

Reputable news outlets didn't cover the story because they would actually get sued for libel and slander.  People don't sue the Daily Kos for the same reason the don't sue the Enquirer.  It doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.

Answer 4

the same reason they didn't jump on Obama and Larry Sinclair rumor. There both False.  She had he own child. she's 44. she had a prenatal genetic test done. Her daughter looks like a normal teenage girl. so what she has a gut? most teenage girls do. I've seen teenagers pregnant and one's with a gut. The girl has a gut. She's NOT FAT, She's not pregnant.  

Answer 5

Yeah but......what about the rumor she's related to Elvis?

oh wait.........that one was started by me.

sorry.

well still............it COULD be true................

actually, I am with you on this.............so much BS on here, without a shred of proof to back any of it up..........

ya can't take any of it seriously.............

But she did back Pat Buchanan for President.......and that speaks volumes about her lousy judgement..........so, no, I am sorry........

let Alaska keep their Hockey mom............

we need a serious politician in the white house.

Answer 6

Because it is a lie. I think it is horrible that so many liberals are spreading this lie around. Talk about attacking a poor teenage girl who did nothing wrong.

Answer 7

Because there is a hurricane going right now, can't you see

Answer 8

Its the Labor Day weekend.  I have already emailed the story to my favorite handsome commentary, Keith Olbermann

Olbermann will get to the bottom of Sarah Palin hiding the truth about her daughter's baby.

P.S.  I think Mccain wouldnt have picked her if he knew about the dirty secret she is trying to hide.

Answer 9

But they WANT it to be true.

They NEED it to be true.

Answer 10

I missed something...is she knocked up again?  I thought she was like 20 weeks post partum?

Answer 11

yeah ,olberman. Mr  credibility- does the dnc own msnbc?  

Answer 12

uummm.....i know why.......maybe.....just maybe....IT'S NOT TRUE!!!

Answer 13

this is because they finally figured out that they were all liable for slander.  

Answer 14

EXACTLY!

Answer 15

They remember Dan Rather and how well that worked out for him!

Answer 16

Even the dailykos who STARTED this BS has admitted that it's BS

The liberals have to make up something else now

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/31/...

Libs can do their best to try to discredit her, but she has taken down some VERY powerful people and if there was ANY real dirt on her, THEY would have found it...If the big dogs with connections couldn't come up with anything, the desperate, pathetic, uneducated, liberal mutts won't find anything either.

Answer 17

Even the lib bible Daily Kos dropped the smears now.

Answer 18

McCain wanted a woman and an ultra-conservative redneck. He knew also about the investigations against her. He could take that risk because he knew that the rednecks didn't care.

Answer 19

You got it.

There is nothing to this rumor. If you do a google image search for Palin, you'll see lots of pix of Palin and her entire family.

Answer 20

As was reported by ABC news....McCain's staff DID NOT fully vet Palin before he made that decision. Stop assuming McCain took all the necessary precautions...he didn't.

As for MSM not picking up this story....it's very flimsy on hard evidence. Remember Dan Rather's last report on flimsy evidence?

Answer 21

I would imagine that Mrs. Palin was thoroughly checked out before Mr. McCain asked her to be his Vice President.

You are right,  people need to drop the hype.

Answer 22

God knows they start a dirt digging campaign...Obama will be the real victim...get a clue

Answer 23

They fear that it comes out that O Bamba , Charlie Rangel and Jesse Jackson had a threesome in Hawaii.
