While 11 staffers sounds excessive, it's true that the AP's deep reserves allow for reporters with specific areas of expertise -- such as the Alaska pipeline or incidents from the campaign trail -- to address a handful of pages dealing with those specific topics, while not necessarily dropping everything to read the entire book.
Could it be that Fox s just trying to add more spin to a story already spinning quite enough, besides this controversy is something Palin probably loves, this will do nothing but help sell her crap. Just another politician, nothing special here.
