Palin Blasts Big Media's Addiction To 'Anonymous Sources'

Story here.

Heh.  She sounds a lot like me, and even uses a term from Seinfeld.  I am in loooooove!

“The ‘reporters’ who continue to cite ‘unnamed GOP-insiders’ as hard news sources are deemed impotent by the American public as we rise up and say, ‘The state of journalism today stinks. Let’s clean it up and expect some accountability’,” Palin wrote in an email to The Daily Caller.

Palin also mocked Politico’s use of anonymous sources, saying, “I suppose I could play their immature, unprofessional, waste-of-time game, too, by claiming these reporters and politicos are homophobe, child molesting, tax evading, anti-dentite, puppy-kicking, chain smoking porn producers…really, they are… I’ve seen it myself…but I’ll only give you the information off-the-record, on deep, deep background; attribute these ‘facts’ to an ‘anonymous source’ and I’ll give you more.”

Yeah.  Why do Big Media reporters get to use "anonymous sources" which they could have just made up, whereas blogging citizens are told to have proof if they want to be taken seriously?

Why the backwards double standard?  Why shouldn't the Big Media show us proof, and not just tell us all sorts of unverifiable hearsay or even lies?

Hey, guys... some guy, speaking on condition of anonymity, told me that Obama was actually born in Kenya, raised by albino orangutans and that he's currently a gay pedophile.  I guess that it must be true, then.  Just 'cause some guy I won't identify told me.  Or so I say.  What're you going to believe?  Suppose I was in the Big Media instead of being a lowly nobody blogger?  Would you believe me then?  Why?  Because I'm in the Big Media?  That's not logical!

 Oh, and Sarah used the term "anti-dentite".  See?  She's regular folk like us.... she watches Seinfeld too!
