While shredding the GOP/Fox News version of events, Williams refers to the stories he's debunking as "deliberate misinformation," and "political spin," and paints their memes as ghoulishly opprotunistic. Then he tops it off by admitting that neither Fox News, nor the GOP in general, have the first shred of evidence to back up their claims.
After calling it "time for American journalism to hit pause on the political spin cycle," Williams writes:
Once the political spin stops, the bottom line is there is no evidence so far to support the Romney camp’s claim of incompetence or a cover-up by the administration. There is only a tragic attack on the United States, our understanding of which is becoming clearer as new intelligence comes to light.
Win at all costs and apologize later is the rule in political campaigns, and the GOP has seen Obama’s approval rating on foreign policy fall in the aftermath of the Libya attack.
But this is one political strategy that is based on deliberate misinformation about the Benghazi assault.
Of course, Williams specifically debunks the "GOP's False Narrative" and never mentions a word about Fox News' GOP-driven reporting. But you have to wonder why Fox News, the very network that employs Williams is not listening.
First, about the article: Juan Williams, a Fox News contributor and part-time host wrote an article that flat admits the GOP version of events (which his network created and push) are a complete load of crap, and that the White House has actually been honest with us as far as it’s been confirmed.
More on that on my next comment elsewhere.
Second: About the comments from Brian and Maurice: Bush has not come up once without being provoked by the right. They want to extend/renew a Bush policy, comparing whether or not a throwback would help us always
Bush’s policies that worked short term imploded, many of his policies did indeed fail. Fact.
We’re still losing money on the collapses caused by Bush’s tax cuts and corporate welfare -Which the Republicans thought were important enough to hold healthcare and the budget over. Fact.
Romney admitted that he wants to do many of Obama’s ideas
I wasted my time typing all that, because you’re so blinded by your hostile bias that your whole idea of debate is to come in yelling and yell some more at anyone that shoots back. Fact.
And NO ONE ever called him on his bullcrap or his hypocrisy.
*Space Cowboy, of course, is a reference to the Steve Miller song, “The Joker,” in which Miller sings “Some people call me the Space Cowboy, some call me the Gangster of Love, some people call me Maurice.” I thought the nickname was appropriate. (It’s not really fair to Miller, though, but the song is really pretty weak. Just as the earlier individual’s comment was.)
Also, you hypocrites, were you whining about spending under Bush? You shut up then, so keep it shut!
The last four years are BETTER than the 8 years of Bush. Under Bush, the economy was LOSING jobs. Obama’s economy is not losing jobs. It is GAINING jobs, but the Obama’s GAIN so far has not compensated for Bush’s LOSS.
