25. The Media’s Made-Up Catfight Between Hillary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren

Yup RT @nationaljournal: The media's made-up catfight between @HillaryClinton and @SenWarren http://bit.ly/1m9FJo6


On Sunday, Edward Klein wrote what was supposed to be an explosive story in The New York Post setting up the "blood feud" between the Obamas and the Clintons in 2016 . . . In his Post story, Klein reports that Obama "quietly promised" to fully support Warren if she decided to run for president, and instructed Valerie Jarrett to "conduct a full-court press to convince Warren to throw her hat into the ring."

On Monday, the Wall Street Journal alley-ooped Klein's thesis with its own story positing that Clinton is trying to distance herself from the Obamas "in tone and substance." The evidence? A less cheery tone about the economy, and this money quote:

This type of sourcing is completely irrelevant and guaranteed not to produce any real news, just pot shots (it's not Whalen's fault; if you give a mouse a cookie, etc.) But the narrative that Klein et al are crafting is basically Dems In Disarray, 2.0—a narrative that relies on reports from both conservative and liberal voices that are short on facts and long on speculation.

Media Matters has called Klein a "smear peddler" and a "conspiracy theorist," and points out that even conservative pundits like Brian Kilmeade, Rush Limbaugh and James Taranto have called Klein's sourcing into question.
