Jonathan Karl, Ron Fournier should be hounded out of their jobs for pushing GOP Benghazi email lies

That is the ONLY way the truth is going to get any traction. Targeting the Republicans who arranged for the edited emails doesn't work because they get too much leeway to be abject liars and assholes. Targeting the ideological 'journalists' who catapult the GOPs lies and propaganda unquestioningly is the way to go.

Republicans Altered Benghazi Emails, CBS News Report Claims

"One day after The White House released 100 pages of Benghazi emails, a report has surfaced alleging that Republicans released a set with altered text.

CBS News reported Thursday that leaked versions sent out by the GOP last Friday had visible differences than Wednesday's official batch. Two correspondences that were singled out in the report came from National Security Adviser Ben Rhodes and State Department Spokeswoman Victoria Nuland."

Hound them out of business.

"Jonathan Karl, Ron Fournier should be hounded out of their jobs for pushing GOP Benghazi email lies"

...is a tool. He only moved to the National Journal to try to hide the stain.

The AP has a Ron Fournier problem

and if Fournier isn't a major stockholder in Operation Mockingbird, I'll eat my hat.

And that goes twice for Nedra Pickler, even tho she's not at AP anymore.

Jonathan Karl should go to Faux, where he belongs.

and if I don't care about the AP for any reason, that's probably the biggest - the fact that even AFTER his obvious bias came out, they put him in charge of the DC BUREAU!

So, no, I don't feel any particular sympathy for the AP. Go cry to Ron Fournier, you fake journalists.

The CN is a division of the right wing Intercollegiate Studies Institute. CN proudly lists Karl as an alum. see also this FAIR article documenting Karl's Fox News wannabe style of reporting.

One of Hitler's most memorable "remarks" was: Facebook is for idiots and Twitter is for retards." Social networking hasn't been the same for me since I heard that line.

And Intelligence and Terrorism subcommittees. AND he's on Judiciary with Issa. his father was Jewish, his mom Christian. He converted to Mormonism and went to BYU. Worked for Romney campaign. He has been very outspoken about Benghazi.
