Palin places MSM on notice

July 5, 2009
By 1 comment

Sarah Palin announced she will step down as governor of Alaska and the media and blogosphere went wild. There’s rampant speculation about why she did it and what her plans are. She’s taking hits from the right and the left. To be honest, I don’t know what to make of it.

Sooner or later we’ll know Palin’s plans for the future. In the mean time, her attorneys have placed the main stream media on notice, letting them know Sarah isn’t about to let them smear her without consequences.

Ratcheting up her offensive against the news media, Gov. Sarah Palin’s attorney threatened Saturday to sue mainstream news organizations if they publish “defamatory” stories relating to whether Palin is under federal investigation.

In an extraordinary four-page letter, Alaska-based attorney Thomas Van Flein warns of severe consequences should speculation that until now has largely been confined to blogs about whether Palin embezzled funds in the construction of a Wasilla, Alaska, sports arena find its way into print.

“This is to provide notice to Ms. Moore, and those who re-publish the defamation, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and The Washington Post, that the Palins will not allow them to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law,” Van Flein warned, citing Alaska liberal blogger Shannyn Moore.
