Sarah Palin told Chris Wallace on FOX News Sunday “we have the tape that proves it” of the “corrupt bastards” in the media conspiring against Joe Miller.
"Just last night it was revealed that the rally that I had for Joe Miller on Thursday, it was revealed and we have the tape to prove it, that the CBS reporters, the affiliate in Alaska, conspired to make up stories about Joe Miller."
"I am saying that we have on tape the CBS reporters in the affiliate up there in Alaska saying, “Let’s find a child molester in the crowd as a supporter of Joe Miller. Let’s blast that. Let’s concoct a Rand Paul moment there. Let’s find any kind of chaos so we can tweet, “Ooh, there’s chaos. Joe Miller got punched.”
Blog author's comments - Employees at a CBS affiliate in Anchorage left an accidental voicemail for an aide to GOP Senate candidate Joe Miller. The recording was the result of a cell phone not being hung up after a call was placed to Randy DeSoto, Joe Miller campaign spokesperson, Thursday afternoon to discuss Joe Miller's appearance on that evening's newscast.
Moments after this Fox News report, KTVA General Manager Jerry Bever put out an official statement: "While the recording is real, the allegations are untrue,"
"The perception that this garbled, out of context recording may leave is unfortunate, but to allege that our staff was discussing or planning to create or fabricate stories regarding candidate Miller is absurd. The complete conversation was about what others might be able to do to cause disruption within the Miller campaign, not what KTVA could do."
"Have we had internal discussions about the level of professionalism we need to bring to our conversations, internally and externally? Of course we have, this is a lesson to learn from."
Mr. Bever - what your staff has to learn is when they are planning an attempt to come up with an untrue story to sway an election, they should know how to use their phones so they do not leave evidence of their plan.
Republican Joe Miller is facing off against Democratic nominee Scott McAdams, and write-in candidate incumbent Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski, who has already lost in the primary to Miller. Murkowski will not go away.
