Thanks but ........ naah, doesn't work.
The Vanity Fair page gives a timeline tree (that you have to expand 16 times to even read) that doesn't say which info is attributed to who. Then the three links: Daily Kos goes not to Kos but some blog, the links from which go to a blank Kos page; the Daily News link goes to an entertainment page with "we can't find that page" at the top, and Cajun Boy goes to a "members only" blog.
Case not proven. Nice try.
Pogo
Oh, then why was the Kos was saying they needed to stop spreading the rumor for what reason? It is what they said and they kept it up for months upon months.
There are a ton of stories on the Kos doing such, not my fault they tried to revise history and delete it.

Media Matters even covered their slime:
Palin, the press, and her pregnancy
Inky99's post from Friday created some buzz online, but it was the follow-up post on August 30 at Daily Kos (since deleted) by the pseudonymous "ArcXIX" that created the firestorm as the entry raced up the site's recommended list, thanks to so many Daily Kos readers who gave the post an electronic thumbs-up. Much more detailed in terms of photographic and video evidence in support of the claim that Palin faked her pregnancy (i.e. Palin didn't look pregnant in the weeks leading up to Trig's birth), the new diary, "Sarah Palin Is NOT The Mother," was also much nastier:
Now, I've known liars in my life. Their single core problem is not with themselves, but those around them. If they're never called out on their twisting of truths and fabrications, they simply continue to make larger lies.
Sarah, I'm calling you a liar. And not even a good one. Trig Paxson Van Palin is not your son. He is your grandson. The sooner you come forward with this revelation to the public, the better.

There are a ton more article on what they did, I suppose you can choose to disbelieve Media Matters and Huffpo, but they did it, then deleted all the garbage.
I saw some of that in the previous links. What you're quoting is bloggers and message board comments, not a site per se. Some wacko will always come up with some cockamamie theory on something, like say, "the President was born in Kenya" or "the Democratic Party invented the slave trade". Doesn't mean they speak for anybody except some isolated wacko.
As one of your own links notes:
>> But again, Palin falsely accused the press of a) failing to ask questions about the pregnancy rumor and b) disregarding the facts and helping to spreading it. Neither assertion is accurate.
It's obvious the press was well aware of the left-field gossip that burned up the Internet on the last weekend of August. "Campaign officials were deluged with questions from reputable news outlets" about the pregnancy, The Washington Post reported on September 2. And Fortune's Nina Easton later told a panel discussion audience, "I don't know a reporter who did not get that [rumor] emailed to them."
The question, though, is what did reporters do with the story? How did they treat the online rumor? Palin suggests journalists ran wild with it. That's false. As the Post noted in September, "Mainstream outlets have not given such rumors any credence." Indeed, after searching Nexis and Google, I cannot find a single traditional, American news outlet that reported on the pregnancy rumors within the 48 hours after it appeared online. Nothing in The New York Times, The Washington Post, or the Chicago Tribune. Nothing in Newsweek or Time. And Nothing on MSNBC or CBS. Nothing anywhere. The press simply did not touch the story. << (MediaMatters link)
Will grandma want to stay at home or would she rather be the first female President?
