ABC Carries Water For Professional Liar Ari Fleischer

9:42 am EST October 27th, 2010 | Media | 2 Comments

If we learned even one lesson from the Bush administration it is this: If Ari Fleischer is saying something, it probably isn’t true. Fleischer, best known as the Bushie front man on the Iraq War long con, got ABC to just regurgitate his attack on President Obama and his policies towards Israel.

Nevermind that as the current state of things shows us, Bush’s “I’m not talking to him” policy didn’t get us or Israel much of anything. The ABC report, by Jonathan Karl, is just Fleischer’s charge, not paired with any supportive or detracting information because that might have required some research or something.

They say there’s a liberal bias to the media, but articles like this show that that allegation is as hollow now as it was 40 years ago.

Jake Tapper: Snarky Loser

10:53 am EST February 6th, 2009 | Media | 107 Comments

All of a sudden a Democrat is in the White House, and Jake Tapper decides to ask tough questions. He wasn’t so interested before.

I should point out that I’m okay with the Obama administration being asked tough questions – they’re grownups and that’s why we voted them in – but it is kind of jarring when the same band of jackals who were castrated for the last 8 years suddenly decide to do something resembling their jobs.
