Newt Gingrich corrects CBS for citing Washington Post as a serious source

That sounded interesting, but I was instantly reminded why it's no use to even bother anymore. Give them five seconds and they'll cram a full hour of horse doo into your ears.

I'm not exaggerating. They've got their act down.

The headline at NewsBusters says "dismantles" not "corrects" but headlines are usually hyperbole. The video is over there.

Don't watch it. It can only annoy you. Plus you can "dismantle" CBS crew as well as anyone else. Whatever nonsense they deliver their viewers, you have your own torrent of overwhelming responses. But with no real purpose of ever rallying such facts just to counter idiotic CBS nonsense as Newt Gingrich does. We're never having any such discussion. We're never even watching them. They're brought to our attention by other means. And I had to click over to receive the abuse.

I have no idea who these people are. I've successfully ignored them.

Norah O'Donnell and co-host John Dickerson. I think. *poof* the names disappear. They are irrelevant.

Norah repeats the lazy reporting that Trump lies now accumulate to over 10,000. Someone at the Washington Post is counting every little thing they don't like then marking that up as a lie then the rest of intellectually lazy media cites that careless hateful figure as common received wisdom.

Gingrich: They're not a good source.

Woman: Oh, come on.

Then the man, whoever he is, gleefully repeats Mitt Romney saying that he is appalled by Trump's behavior.

Gingrich: Romney is a Trump Hater.

Man: But he's a Republican.

AAAaaarrrrggghhhh *click*

Why did I expect to hear Gingrich "dismantling" CBS crew just because that's what is in the headline, without also a full dose of obnoxious liberal dopes doing the only thing possible for them to do -- sounding like my sister at age twelve? The reason I resolutely avoid them. I blame myself. It couldn't have possibly been anything else. I would like to hear what Newt Gingrich says sensibly and calmly just for the fun of it, but I must have the obnoxious idiots that go with it. I know better. Yet I gave them 5 seconds.

Drop down to comments for the antidote, the refreshing effervescence that clears out the poison. The incredibly vapid poison that doesn't even harm you, it only annoys.

Comments are actually quite funny. These people have media nailed. Recommended. Sample:

* If Trump cured cancer media would say he only did it to cure white people and he stole the idea from a black gay trans woman that is dying because of him.

   ** Text on picture. Trump cures cancer / protestors with signs, "Trump hates doctors," "Curing cancer is racist," "We have the right to die from cancer," "We want our cancer back,"  "Don' ... tak ... awa ... my ... canc. " Democrats are outraged!

   ** Or they'd say that finding the cure for cancer was trending when Obama was president so Obama gets the credit.

* ... or they'd spend a lot of time reporting on the plight of the newly unemployed oncologist and their staffs. Also the necessary downsizing a hospital would take should cancer become cured.

   ** What will those poor employees of the American Cancer Society do for a living now?

* Text on Picture: In the news today, President Trump told CBS News he ate bacon and eggs for breakfast this morning. But our sources inside the White House told us he had ham and eggs.

Every time this lazy lie-number comes up, 100 each day, then 400, then 800, then 1,000, now 10,000 total, I silently ask, "is there a particular lie that sticks in your craw? Something similar to "if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor," or "we will bring down the cost of healthcare by $2,000 per family?" Because so far nobody citing the current lie-number bothers identifying a single lie. Just the number. They're too lazy to read the list that they cite. If they did, then they'd see it's all nonsense. Another reason why Washington Post is not a serious source.

That's the difference. Conservatives know exactly which specific lies they hold against the Obama administration, and who developed those lies, Johnathan Gruber relying on "the stupidity of the American voter," but Liberal news readers do not. I've yet to hear them defend what they consider a main lie by Trump on this mysterious list so often cited. But then, I wouldn't know. I don't give them the time listening. If I did then I'd only be annoyed even further.
