In the current SCOTUS Case, Obama is not out to get whistleblowers (Firedog is wrong)

55. As I noted in the other thread, Gosztola's agenda overwhelms the facts every time. Just see this

and how he behaved in this situation. He so wanted to force a particular narrative, he completely misrepresented himself.

This afternoon, a gentleman identifying himself as Kevin Gosztola, who writes for the left-wing website FireDogLake, left a message on my cell phone. He claimed to be working on a project for First Look Media -- the high-profile investigative journalism start-up that employs, among others, Glenn Greenwald. (First Look's top editor says the Gosztola has nothing to do with the outlet. More on that in a second.) I post Gosztola's missive verbatim:

“So you don’t deny that you encouraged Liz Wahl to resign. We are going to be publishing a story at First Look Media and I know that you’re going to be losing control of the narrative that you’ve managed to create around Liz Wahl’s resignation. We have multiple sources.

“It’s fairly obvious that you have orchestrated this as part of some Foreign Policy Initiative [the think tank where I work] agenda. And this is what we’re going to be putting out there. So your fun little charade, public stunt that you’ve been putting on which the media has completely eaten up here in the United States, is hopefully over

“If you have any comment and if you’d like to respond to me and prove that this is not how it is, you let me know. But otherwise we are ready to go. And, you know, you like to ‘fuck with the Russians’ and we’re going to respond to that and let people know where you’re coming from as you have worked with Liz Wahl to expose what you call a propaganda network.”

You need to see the full portion of that article that concerns Gosztola's behavior and listen to the call, there is an audio link there.

These are the kinds of people FDL has writing for them. Folks who are determined to create narratives that are not there and will ignore facts and push their agenda in spite of the evidence to help themselves do it.
