The gentleman in the picture to the right is Dan Mirvish. He did something wonderful for Sarah Palin recently. He turned the tables on the Media making exposing as fools the people who tried to make Sarah Palin look like a fool.
It was pure genius.
Posing as Martin Einstadt, a senior foreign policy advisor for the John McCain campaign, Dan Mirvish and his buddy Eitan Gorlan started a blog and claimed to be the source of the leaks about Sarah Palin.
Specifically, Martin Einstadt claimed to be the leak that sarah Palin did not know that Africa was a continent. The LA Times, FoxNews, MSNBC, The New Republic, the Huffington Post and many other sources jumped on the story without even a phone call to the McCain campaign to see if Marty existed.
MSNBC even had experts in to talk about the bogus revelation. Here it is:
The New York Times has a great write up on the hoax. Read it here.
And Tony Handen of the London Telegraph writes that "Sarah Palin Deserves a Media Apology."
That she does.
But it i frightening how gullible the news media is in this 24/7 news cycle. With all of the resources at their disposal, not one person thought to pick up the phone and check out this story.
It exposes several things about media outlets. But the one that interest me the most is the obvious bias towards Sarah Palin. Even before the Charles Gibson interview, the Media bought into the Democratic Narrative that Sarah Palin was inexperienced and not so bright.
So Gibson went after her with that narrative in mind. Katie Couric did the same thing. They asked questions of Palin and set traps that they never did to Obama, McCain or Biden.
By the way, Dan and Eitan are still at it. They are continuing the hoax. You can read it by clicking here. Wouldn't it be great if they got the mainstream media to bite again.
I would not be surprised.
I would however be surprised if any of the media outlets admitted they were wrong and apologized to Sarah Palin for their unfair treatment.

I am not quite understanding what the big whoop is? What is the rejoicing?
YES, EISENSTADT is a HOAX. YES....BUT,
the original story leaked by senior McCain staffers is NOT A HOAX.
That story HAS NOT CHANGED, merely a fictional person laying claim to the comments has been unveiled.
All the comments about Palin as a DIVA, and a dumb one at that, still stand.
People that Palin worked with called the press and tattled. They SAY she doesn´t know that Africa is continent, they SAY she can´t identify the countries in Nafta, they SAY the money spent on the clothes is nowhere near what was reported, it was MORE and she DID have alot to do with the clothes, they say Palin jumped the gun on the negative campaigning without clearing it with her handlers, with her BOSSES. None of this story is a HOAX.The people she worked with can´t stand her.
NOW CUT TO the RNC convention in Miami. Well, I´ll be darned, MORE ANONYMOUS attacks on Sarah by REPUBLICANS that can´t stand her.
An how do you know all tat about Sarah Palin?
Oh wait, because it was reported by the same media that was so easily hoaxed as to the source of the original stories.
The same media that NEVER checked the source of the story.
The Media was outed and Cannot be trusted when it comes to Sarah Palin.
They so wanted to bring an attractive, Independent, strong, Conservative woman down, they abandoned their objectivity and professionalism.
The Media was so in love with Obama (proven bu Independent research) that they had to take Palin down or they couldn't annoint the Chosen one.
It was sickening.
The media does owe Palin an apology.
How do I know all that? CAN YOU READ?
Are YOU DEAF? Funny how you hear what you want to. YES, ONLY EISENSTADT WAS A HOAX.
Doesn´t effect the original leak, BY REPUBLICANS. I think the story originally ran on FOX, not OBAMA FRIENDLY PEOPLE, I HEAR!
Are you following the RNC convention?
I believe THE REPUBLICANS THERE said ANONYMOUSLY (because REPUBLICANS DON´T USE THEIR NAMES when they hiss like snakes at eachother) that Mrs. Palin assumptions about party leadership are making things AWKWARD.
You know, why don´t you read the newspaper. I can´t do your reading AND WORD COMPREHENSION for you.
HMMMMMMMMMM. TWO BLOG GENIUSES...I AM GETTING THE FEELING THAT EVERYBODY IS A REAL GENIUS on THIS blog!!! UH huh..........
And how do YOU know only Einstadt was a hoax?
Do you know who the "Republian Sources" are?
Please name them. Because if you don't know (and you don't) than it could be another Einstdadt.
You aren't getting the bigger point (no real surprise). This shows how the Media goes with a story without checking it out. One outlet feeds on another assuming someone, somewhere did the work.
So yes I do read anmd hear, I don't trust that the Media did due diligence on their anonymous sources.
Understand yet?
The bottom line is that Palin's ineptness in her interviews with Katie Couric and Charles Gibson made the accusations, whether true or not, completely believable. She has shown herself to be a hopelessly stupid uninformed moron....and she is.
Many believe the "Diva" and "Whackjob" comments were made by Mark Salter because he called Arianna Huffington those same two things.
