The website Alaska Report has released a story that Todd and Sarah Palin are set to divorce.  If the website is correct it will be another big break for the organization that claims to have also first reported Sarah Palin’s Governor candidacy and her Vice Presidential candidacy.  Alaska Report claims to have confirmed the story with multiple sources in Wasilla and Anchorage.

A few online sources also are reporting that Sarah Palin and husband Todd are getting a divorce.

“A National Enquirer story exposing previous affairs on both sides led to a deterioration of their marriage and the stress from that led to Palin’s resignation as governor of Alaska,” claims one such story on AlaskaReport.com.

Now the Palin camp has moved to debunk the rumor, choosing an unlikely venue to do so: Facebook (Facebook). Palin spokesperson Meg Stapleton posted the following to Palin’s official Facebook page today:

“Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent “story” (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing. The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island).

Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to “quit making things up.” We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it.

With no press release from the Palins, it seems Facebook was felt to be the appropriate place to respond: not formal enough to heap attention on a false story, but with wide enough distribution to shoot it down before it spreads. Palin also took to Facebook after announcing her resignation as the Governor of Alaska: she used the statement to criticize the media’s treatment of her.

Having said all this, if the Alaska Report is correct they will get tremendous credit for being the first to report what could be a huge story.  I for one hope the story turns out to be false.  I may disagree with nearly all of Palin’s views but I would hate for a family with that many children to be split with divorce.
