The story of Trig Palin's birth doesn't make sense to you. Fine. I get that. Plane travel after a woman's water breaks isn't exactly normal. But I can't condone the way you have written about Trig's birth. Your hiding behind the "I'm just asking questions" defense is no more convincing than when Glenn Beck does it. Asking a question is healthy; asking a question over and over and over again, phrasing that question over-dramatically, and insinuating a conspiracy allows you to introduce an impossible to confirm rumor into the discourse. Maybe that isn't your intent, but it is the effect of your writings on Palin's fifth child.
You have never written definitively that Trig isn't Palin's son, but your tone betrays what you wish to be true. If Trig were not Palin's child, your pursuit of this story would be vindicated. All your critics would be silenced – or at least muffled. That incentive makes you a terrible judge of probabilities.
That would be true if I were not simply asking for easily available empirical evidence that must exist if Palin is telling the truth.
