Jonathan Karl's Latest Benghazi "Scoop" Was Reported By His Network In 2012 (Issa Fail)

[yellowcanine]

You can't make this up department......Not only did the latest Issa eruption backfire in that the email (WH to YouTube) he was waving around that supposedly confirmed a WH coverup actually did just the opposite; now it turns out that Jonathan Karl's "scoop" on the email was reported by ....wait for it......his own network (ABC) in 2012 - and confirmed by the WH within days of the Benghazi attack. So not only was there no WH coverup of the email (the basis for Issa's eruption) - the email actually supported the intiial WH version of events.

Maybe the Select Committee on Benghazi should subpeona Daryl Issa and Jonathan Karl.

1. The ABC puppet on a string for Issa has now had two massive journalistic disasters, any true news

outfit would fire the guy. But he is just doing his job as a member of the liberal media, so he never will be.

If there are no consequences for lying and being a GOP shill, and you make millions doing it, try and try again.

5. Who is counting but I make it three (journalistic disasters) within just the last week.

1) The summary of emails complete with fake quotes reported as original WH emails that ABC had "reviewed".
2) No mention that above "original emails" actually came from Congressional Republicans. an obviously tainted source.
3) Presenting a "scoop" as a WH "coverup" which was published by his own network and acknowledged by the WH in 2012.

How is Karl still working for ABC as a journalist?

2. In light of this latest fiasco, one has to wonder why Karl is still working for ABC.

How can ABC justify keeping a reporter who clearly is collaborating with Issa and other Congressional Republicans to push the Benghazi story as a scandal?

3. You can't make this shit up but the republicans keep trying

They make up shit in an attempt to smear their enemies

4. Trying hard not to underestimate Issa

this asswipe was instrumental in dismantling ACORN. He will accumulate every tiny little tid bit of info and pull it all together to build a case that will appeal to the Reps. Reality and truth be damned.

He is as dogged with Obama as Kenneth Star was with Clinton. The hate runs deep in him and he has an obsession that doesn't seem to even get satisfied.

6. Free clue for Republicans & their Stooges: stupid and corrupt is no way to go through life
