Sarah Palin didn’t slash funding to teen moms

A WaPo blogger screams that Palin slashed funding for aid to teen mothers. Except that what she slashed was a funding increase. Instead of quadrupling the funding from $1.2 million to $5 million she only tripled it to $3.9 million.

A Salon blogger who fell for it still hasn’t corrected the mistake, and Salon ran it on their front page today.

In other fake Sarah Palin news, the video of Todd Palin having a David Hasselhoff-style meltdown while Bristol videotapes it is fake and so is the picture of Sarah Palin in a stars and stripes bikini holding a BB rifle. Also the source of the “Sarah Palin was a member of the Alaska Independence Party” story has backed off his claim.
