Step 2: Right-Wing Pressures White House Reporters To Take Up Its AttackAfter the story was cooked up by right-wing hate radio, it was peddled to members of the White House press corps, at least one of whom took the bait. On his radio show on Friday, right-wing talker Mark Levin discussed Lauria’s claims against Obama, and then called on his listeners to pressure the White House press corps — specifically ABC’s Jake Tapper — to report the story:
LEVIN: Somebody needs to pursue what’s going on in the White House behind the scenes! And stop playing games and making nice! American citizens — whatever walk of life they’re in — should not be threatened by the White House! Should not be told we’re going to drag you through the mud with the White House press corps! So confident is the White House that they have the White House press corps wrapped around their little finger! Maybe Jake Tapper will take a look at this. Ask that doofus — Gibbs.
Jake Tapper is now official the go to guy for the wingnutosphere. I can only imagine how proud that makes him.
GOP is grooming Jake Tapper to be used just like Cheney did with Tim Russert.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it will bother Jake. It never bothered Tim.
ThinkProgress corrected their story, which was not true; you should too.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing ThinkProgress corrected was their headline, not the content. Try again.
