Thursday, it was reported that David Kernell, the son of a
Democratic state legislator in Tennessee, is at the center of an
investigation into the hacking of Sarah Palin's e-mail account.
Yesterday, it was reported that the FBI served a
search warrant at Kernell's apartment in Knoxville.
Big news, right? So why is nobody in the major media following
up? Associated Press, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN -- all missing in
action on this story.
UPDATE: Just got off the phone with
Justice Department spokeswoman Laura Sweeney, who was able to
confim that "investigatory activity took place in Knoxville over
the weekend."
In keeping with policy of not commenting on active
investigations, Ms. Sweeney said she "can't be more specific than
that." However, she did say that the Department has had several
media inquiries. "It's a pretty big news story," she said. No
further official Department comment is to be expected unless and
until someone is charged in the case.
