Not!


The evidence comes our way, once again, from last of the independents, Mr. Sean Holman:

Today, Republican presidential candidate John McCain named Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. But Canwest News Service is giving readers a skewed view of Ms. Palin. Because the graphic it's using of Senator McCain's vice-presidential pick (under the caption "Vogue Magazine with Alaska Governor Sarah Palin on the cover") is actually a photoshopped fake, created by the blog Kodiak Konfidential.


Of course, the real problem is not the lazy use of single sources by the professional media not verified from the 'Teh':

Instead, it's the fault of those loony-eyed bloggers muckin' about on the toobz who post up unintelligible stuff next to their satire.

Unintellible stuff like the following, direct from the afore-mentioned Kodiak Konfidential:

As I'm sure you've heard by now, Alaska's Governess, Sarah Palin, was photographed recently for an upcoming issue of Vogue.

No, this isn't an advanced copy, just some Photoshoppin'.


Sheesh.

And if you read the comments to KK's post, all the way down to the bottom, the stupider gets even more so.
Interesting that, after poking around a little at KK's site it's clear that he's (?) both an Obama supporter and a Palin booster. While the latter has a whiff of the provincial about it there is also some solid, if populist, stuff behind it as well. Looks like real issues, especially those that actually distinguish the positions of H. Clinton and S. Palin, may be the only way to crack this nut. The latter, of course, will be extremely difficult for many in the ProMedia to do given that they are already trumpeting the two as being political equivalents (or, at the very least, counterweights). Thus, they will need some real help (a.k.a. pushback).
Update: Had the actual forgery up originally, but there is no need. It's pretty much double thumbs-up top of the Teh at the link above.
