More News Outlets Say They Passed Up The Daily Caller's "Flimsy" Prostitution Story (even NY Post!)

Just read this media matters article reporting on how The Star-Ledger of Newark, NJ, ABC News, and even the News Corp-owned New York Post (a tabloid not friendly at all to the Democratic Party) were so skeptical of the prostitution allegations against Sen. Robert Menendez that all these outlets refused to report on them. However:

When pressed by Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, (Tucker) Carlson would only say that the source who brought the story to the Daily Caller "received no money from anyone." As more holes continue to be poked in the initial story, neither Carlson nor the Daily Caller have revealed who brought it to them, or what role members of the conservative movement played in creating the attack.


Newsflash Tucker: when even the NY Post (a more tawdry print version of Fox so-called News) isn't buying into your shit story, you know you're full of it.
