... Wherein An MSNBC Reporter Makes A Fool Of Herself
This one is hard to believe. Hot Air has the video, and it's frankly astonishing. Go have a look, I'll wait ...
(Jeopardy theme plays in background)
So a reporter on the increasingly laughable MSNBC mistakes an anti-Bush parody website for serious commentary. What's the problem? Hmmm...
- First, she clearly imagined that WhiteHouse.org was the actual White House site. Or rather her producer was, and she was insufficiently informed to catch the mistake.
- Second, she was apparently informed that it wasn't the real WhiteHouse.gov website, but couldn't muster a full retraction. Why? It's likely that she still thought that what she said was the truth.
- Third, imagine a Fox News reporter, Carl Cameron perhaps, quoting an Iowahawk parody. Maybe one, lampooning Sen. Ted Kennedy as if it were a recently uncovered letter from Sen. Kennedy's personal papers.
MSNBC has got some 'splainin' to do about this one.
