Is Conroy objective? Judge for yourself.
Conroy is also the coauthor of the 2009 book,
Sarah from Alaska: The Sudden Rise and Brutal Education of a New Conservative Superstar.
New York Times has a double-bylined piece on the Palin family brawl with an Anchorage dateline because life is short.

September 12, 2014 Let's take a moment to consider how plausible it is that Sarah Palin yelled, "Don't you know who I am?!" at a party among friends in Alaska. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 It'd be like if Liam Gallagher got in a brawl in Manchester, UK & shouted, "Don't you know who I am?!"..uh, yes. Everyone knows who you are. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 From a source close to the Palin family regarding the Thrilla in Wasilla: Yes, they were all there. And yes, they were involved in a brawl. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Track, I'm told, was indeed at the center of the altercation. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Do people really want to hear about this? — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 I trust this source a lot, but there are two sides to every Anchorage dog-pile brawl story, so this is just the Palin side. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 anyway, Palin had a flight out of Houston at 6am Saturday morning after her speech there on Friday night — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Then that night the whole Paline fam piled into the stretch Hummer (I can confirm this was the vehicle) to head to the snowmachiner party. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Am told the stretch hummer was indeed on account of Todd turning the big 5-0. Celebration and all. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 So they get to the party, and according to the Palin side (again, this is their version), Bristol's ex-boyfriend was the instigator. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Don't want to name the guy, but if you do a search of his social media presence, you'll see that he appears to be rather proud of himself. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 so the ex-boyfriend, I'm told, tried to get into the "car" (stretch Humvee) after some "questionable behavior" (I don't have more specifics) — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 A physical fight ensued, with Track and several other guys at the center of it. Sarah Palin at this point went "full Mama Grizzly," I'm told — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Sarah Palin was yelling a lot, reminding the guys that were fighting with Track that her son is a veteran. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Track Palin, I'm told, was left with four cracked ribs (and what I'm assuming is a bruised ego.) — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 One detail here that's important to remember: Sarah Palin was wearing red, white and blue high tops. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 That last Tweet was 100% true. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Am told the car company that they normally use had four camera crews show up and more than a dozen press calls today. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 I asked my source (on a hunch) if Mercede and/or Levi Johnston were present, but alas, neither was. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 I'm prepared to open the floor to questions now. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 One thing to note: lost in the absurdity of all this has been the Bristol stalker situation, which they say is "very, very scary." Not fun. — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
September 12, 2014 Thus concludes tonight's lesson on how relating a story about Palin leads you to be accused both of "working for Pravda" and "a dead-ender." — Scott Conroy (@RealClearScott)
