A Nov. 13 NewsBusters post by Noel Sheppard begins: “MSNBC’s David Shuster was duped Monday by someone erroneously claiming to be the McCain campaign adviser who leaked derogatory information to the press about Sarah Palin.” Sheppard concludes: “The folks at NBC and General Electric must be so proud.”
But NewsBusters’ P.J. Gladnick spent a Nov. 10 post issuing a detailed response to “Martin Eisenstadt,” the hoaxster who claimed he was the one who leaked the Palin info in that MSNBC interview. Only later did Gladnick update the post to report the hoax nature of it.
Sheppard does not mention Gladnick’s post.
