Sarah Palin Africa Story Leaker is a Hoax –But, HOAX Quickly Discovered

Yesterday’s story from an obscure blog, Martin Eisenstadt’s Blog, claimed the author the source of the “Sarah Palin doesn’t know Africa is a continent” news leak.

“Eisenstadt the source for Sarah Palin Africa leak…and Proud of it”

By now you’ve all heard the Fox News report last week that “unnamed” former McCain advisers

leaked that sarah palin was confused about whether africa was a continent, and which countries were in nafta. i was perfectly happy staying answerable to the radar as an anonymous source for fox news? carl cameron, but now that palin has accused her accusers of being “unprofessional?jerks?cowards? taking things out of context, and then tried to spread something on national news” and begun to cast doubt on the fox message report, maybe she’s instantly to a certain extent. into those of us on the mccain campaign who thought that she acted like a rogue diva and lost john the electing, maybe we do have a responsibility to come out in public. but sarah? careful what you ask due to the fact that: some of us may have more to gala.

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.

The story turns out to be as believable as the original leaks were.

That is, they were a hoax.

Some reported on the Eisenstadt revelation; some didn’t.

The hoax was caught fairly quickly and alerts issued. MSNBC broadcast the hoax as fact before they caught it. Anyone who watched MSNBC’s election coverage couldn’t tell any difference in the network’s accuracy–either before or after the hoax broadcast.

As

But we say, whether you wrote or broadcast it or not: it was discovered quickly, so no harm, no foul.

Allah Pundit summed it up pretty well, Video: MSNBC falls for Palin/Eisenstadt hoax

Specifically, this hoax. I’d love to throw stones at them
