Watching Faux news just to hear their spin - GUESS whose fault the McChyrstal debacle is?

[jillan]

Hahaha - I'll chime in later.


Edit to add - WE HAVE A WINNER! Rolling Stone should NEVER have printed this article!
Then of course they discussed in detail what was in it. Assholes!

[polichick]

1. President Obama's of course - for daring to exist! nt

[jillan]

2. Nope - he is the secondary problem.

[polichick]

3. Oh dear - it must be the devil himself then! nt

[LaurenG]

4. Rolling Stone? nt

[jillan]

6. Yep!!! They should never have printed this article.

And after they said that - they discussed what was in the article and how weak Obama is.

Hypocrisy at it's best.

[LaurenG]

10. They are so pathetic.

hypocrisy is right.

11. Ahhh...too funny. n/t

[BrklynLiberal]

13. Their stupidity and political shallowness is outdone only by their unrelenting

negativity about anything Democratic and the desperation of their reasoning in those attacks.


Following that logic, wouldn't that mean that the ACORN problem was entirely due to those nitwits who made that film and then sold it and themselves all over the RW networks.

5. Bill Clinton obviously.

:sarcasm:

9. Rahm Emmanuel, my guess though.n/t

15. No, no--he's OUR boogeyman, not Faux's.

16. From The Rachel Maddow Show, June 21, 2010

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIPS)
STARR: We all understand that “Rolling Stone” is not a typical publication that the U.S. military deals with.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You‘ve got to wonder what “Rolling Stone” did to win over the general‘s confidence because its reporter is certainly not somebody with the track record.

NEIL CAVUTO, FOX NEWS: I look at General McChrystal doing an interview with “Rolling Stone” magazine and somehow, people are expressing surprise it would boomerang. Hello, “Rolling Stone.”
(END VIDEO CLIPS)

RACHEL MADDOW: I -- first of all, I just dropped my microphone, which has nothing to do with this. But second of all, I‘ve got to tell you about watching the coverage today of this Michael Hastings/General McChrystal story. That “Rolling Stone” is not the problem here. The issue is not “Rolling Stone.” The issue is not Michael Hastings.

I have been the beneficiary of this criticism before where the news outlet itself gets faulted for what the interview subject said to that news outlet. Think about this: are we really supposed to believe that if General McChrystal and his staff had said these same things to some other reporter that they said to Michael Hastings that that other reporter wouldn‘t have published those remarks for political reasons? Seriously?

Well, Michael Hastings and “Rolling Stone” got with this piece that has turned the war upside down is a scoop and it is jealous or it is a really craven cynicism about what journalism is for that‘s driving criticism of “Rolling Stone” for getting this scoop.

17. Telling Trade Secrets? Admitting the MSM spikes or kills stories

they do not want the Public to hear???

Could it be that McCrystal and TEAM AMERICA knew exactly
what they were doing. They wanted a news organization
who would print the story???
