ABC News has an
interesting headline for a story on the Palin “Troopergate” probe,
“Critics Praise Lawyer Driving Controversial Palin Probe”. The former
governor of Alaska, Democrat Tony Knowles, says that the
investigation’s leader will “do a good job,” but which probe does
Knowles reference? As it turns out, it’s the Personnel Board, not the
investigation initiated by the Legislature
ABC does a good job in reporting this story, with one minor flaw. The
description of the “much-criticized probe” will confuse some readers
into thinking that Petumenos is running the legislative probe.
The Personnel Board probe, which Palin herself initiated, has not come
under much criticism at all, mostly because it has stayed out of the
news — unlike Hollis French, the Democratic legislator running the
other probe, who promised an unpleasant “October Surprise” for John
McCain before deposing the first witnesses.
