Liberal Bias?

The Associated Press has put 11 reporters to the job of "fact checking" Sarah Palin's new book Going Rogue: An American Life. This FoxNews story points out that the same Associated Press put no reporters to work fact checking many other political books.

The organization did not review for accuracy recent books by the late Sen. Ted Kennedy, then - Sen. Joe Biden, either book by Barack Obama released before he was president or autobiographies by Bill or Hillary Clinton. The AP did more traditional news stories on those books.

The attraction to Palin doesn't appear to be partisan, since AP didn't fact-check recent political tomes by Republicans Rudy Giuliani or Newt Gingrich.

Given the moderate political stances of Giuliani and Gingrich could it be because Palin is the only true conservative on the list? You can probably guess what my opinion is.
