Before The Left Wing Conspiracy Gets Blamed-REMEMBER-McCain Was The Leaker Re: Palin's Pregnancy

Remember, the only reason we know about Bristol Palin's pregnancy is because John McCain leaked it to Reuters
John Aravosis (DC) · 9/02/2008

I'm watching McCain surrogate Gary Bauer, a religious leader who had a fall from grace a few years ago, lecture MSNBC about how dare they cover the Bristol Palin unwed pregnancy story. McCain supporter Bill Bennett tried this tactic on CNN's Wolf Blitzer yesterday too. Someone needs to remind the McCain campaign, when they whine to journalists about how terrible it is that the media is reporting on the pregnancy, that none of us knew about Bristol Palin's unwed pregnancy until yesterday morning when John McCain's campaign leaked the story to Reuters.

Radar: "The Enquirer has seemingly been on the pregnancy case all weekend, going so far as to ID (Levi) Johnston and get comment from his parents. Rather than let the tabloid break the story, however, McCain's campaign decided to force Palin into releasing the details."

So much for the campaign's insinuation carried by most major media orgs that they had made the announcement to put to rest vicious Internet rumors. The story was about to be broken by national press carried in every grocery store checkout line. Indeed, NPR said today Reuters actually broke the story before McCain campaign forced the Palins to release a statement.
