You are joking, correct? The linked You Tube video includes an interview of Bess. However, it also includes interviews of several other individuals, clips from local newspaper, etc. for it sources. No where in the clip does it "affirm that the source is Bess." In fact, the video is primarily about the firing of Emmons, not Bess' book being targeted.
What is absurd is this tacit defense of these actions. The facts are facts: Palin asked the librarian on three occasions about banning books and then fired the librarian for not being sufficiently loyal to her.
That, in itself, is terrifying and completely indefensible.
