You may have heard the controversy concerning Palin and her lack of knowledge concerning world news, events, continents, and so forth.

Now, a former McCain aide, Martin Eisenstadt, claims on his blog that he is responsible for leaking many of those statements to the media:

So yes, to be clear, last week I was the one who leaked those things to a producer at Fox News who works with Cameron. Carl and his producers are good guys, and I don’t want them to have to worry about protecting their sources (and going through the wringer ala Judith Miller or Matt Cooper) on something like this.

source

apparently because he feels that there is a responsibility of those in charge to 'inform the people'.

look...I never liked Palin, but I don't blame her for McCain's loss, mainly because it was the McCain camp who put her in that position in the first place. In light of the what's becoming clear about the McCains campaign team, and the performance of McCain himself on the national stage, it's more than unfair to make Palin the scapegoat for what went wrong with the McCain campaign, as it seems that his entire campaign was very mismanaged and disorganized from the very beginning. Palin was only a symptom of that. IMO, if this guy is upset with Palin's 'ruining everything for John McCain', the people who should bear the brunt of the blame should be not only McCain himself, but this guy also, and whoever else thought that it was a good idea to have her a John McCain's running mate.

Let me clear up some of the curmudgeoness spread by SOS37

Actually it happens all the time as long as the Anonymous person is not anonymous to the reporter as a source.


You see, as a reporter I may have a very credible source who wishes to remain silent. In that case, news companies would most defintely run the story.
