That might be what the Obama campaign emails are telling you, but it's not true.

CNN's Beck falsely asserted that Novak "said it was an insider on the Clinton campaign"
On the November 19 edition of CNN Headline News' Glenn Beck, discussing Robert D. Novak's November 17 nationally syndicated column, in which he wrote that "gents of Sen. Hillary Clinton are spreading the word in Democratic circles that she has scandalous information about her principal opponent for the party's presidential nomination, Sen. Barack Obama , but has decided not to use it," host Glenn Beck asserted that Novak "said" his source "was an insider on the Clinton campaign." In fact, as Media Matters for America documented, during the November 19 edition of Fox News' Fox & Friends, Novak acknowledged that his purported "source" was not involved in the Clinton campaign, referring to that "source" as "a well-known Democrat, but neutral so far" who was "told by an agent of the Clinton campaign" about the "scandalous information." Novak said he "then checked with another source who is neutral and said he had heard the same thing from Clinton -- Clinton people."

As Media Matters further noted, Sam Stein, political reporter for The Huffington Post, wrote of Novak's Fox & Friends appearance, "So Novak was not privy to the dirt itself, nor did he talk to Clinton's people. Rather, he heard it from someone who had heard it from someone else. Another secondary source, Novak went on to say, claimed to have heard the same thing." During the discussion with Beck, Democratic strategist Peter Fenn stated: "Here's the situation. Bob Novak, who's a friend of mine, I like him a lot, but you know, he doesn't have that -- his sources are usually the Karl Rove sources, the insider Republican sources." But contrary to the unsourced claim in Novak's column and his earlier statements, Beck responded with the false assertion: "He said it was an insider on the Clinton campaign." Fenn then responded, "That's what he says."
