News Busters
Comment by Jim Campbell
Is anybody getting fed up with the selective targeting and rumor mongering about Republican Primary Candidates when the continue to give their “Chosen One a serious anal probe? Well let’s start setting the record straight on Mr. Gingrich serving divorce papers to is dying wife with cancer while she was in the hospital
On Monday, NewsBusters broke a story about Washington Post blogger Aaron Blake using Twitter to dig up dirt on Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.
On Tuesday, the former House Speaker spoke to St. Louis radio host and Big Journalism editor Dana Loesch about this saying, “It’s a little sad to see a paper the quality of the Washington Post stoop to…the National Enquirer approach to life” adding they “would rather worry about rumors about conservatives than facts about the President” Loesch’s entire interview with the former Speaker is available at Big Journalism
DANA LOESCH: I’ve noticed that Aaron Blake who writes for the Washington Post’s The Fix, it’s a political blog, has reached out to readers asking them to crowd-source your past to see if they can get some skeletons in your closet. Have you heard of this?
NEWT GINGRICH: I haven’t heard of it. I’m not at all surprised. I think that you have to expect that kind of trash. I’ve been honest about the fact that there are things I did in my past that I’ve had to go to G-d and seek forgiveness for and seek reconciliation. And if this guy manages to find some magic example, I will stipulate it. I have a very good marriage with Callista. We have, we’re very, very close and have been now for well over a decade. I’m very close to my two daughters and my son-in-laws, and I’m very close to my grandchildren. And I’ll let people look at who I am and how I live today and decide whether or not I’m the person they want to have as president.
It’s a little sad to see a paper the quality of the Washington Post stoop to that, which used to be the National Enquirer approach to life. But that’s just the nature of where we are today.
LOESCH: And I wish that they would crowd-source the White House visitor logs the way that they’re going after individuals like you or Sarah Palin.
GINGRICH: I wish they would crowd-source to discover what he did at Columbia University, and I wish they would crowd-source to figure out what he did with Saul Alinsky’s ideas on the South Side of Chicago.
LOESCH: Exactly.
GINGRICH: Nobody’s ever explored exactly, the community organizer did not mean boys and girls clubs. It meant Saul Alinsky radicalism.
LOESCH: Yeah, it absolutely did.
GINGRICH: But the news media’s never quite found itself as excited about the facts about Barack Obama. Would rather worry about rumors about conservatives than facts about the President.
It really is absurd how little Americans know about our President’s life after he left Hawaii, in particular what he did in Chicago before running for the highest office in the land.
Instead of doing any such investigative journalism, our so-called press digs into every rumor and unsubstantiated allegation against his political rivals.
Will they only be interested in the truth once Obama leaves office, or will his past continue to be verboten as they try to build up his legacy much as they are currently doing with former President Jimmy Carter?
Same ole shit.. I can’t believe you still read this msm crap.
Great piece JC and man, ole Newt is slowly resurfacing. I believe he is getting his political legs back and I know he is enjoying this too, he always did. It’s why I’m backing him, he has it in him to get this mess out of our White House. I have friends who want him in because he’ll go after the corruption and I warn them, it won’t come his first two years in, he’ll appoint a DOJ and administration who will independently seek investigations but knowing Newt, he will not have a hands on demands of the DOJ as Obama does with Holden. But I do know there will be some major paper shredding almost immediately? Which by the way, do you know if it’s possible for them to get rid of documents so easily or is the paper trail to expansive for them to hide or cover up their corruption? I have always been curious about that? Thanks Brother, always a great read
Someone in the media who won’t be threaten and the fear of being killed needs to tell the truth so the sheeples wake up!!!! Who has the strengh to do that. He or She would be a hero in the long run and a Prize Journal award!!!!
Every day I get emails asking us to sign petitions to tell congress not to do this and not to do that… Where in the sam hill is Congress that they dont know what the the Ppl want and dont want… Are they so stupid that they dont read and payattention to the polls and the News and the news papers that tell them what the ppl of the USA want…Its to bad that more people of the USA dont know whats going on.. I guess as long as they get there monthly check they really dont care that there congress is so far out of it… You would think that the congress would make it there prime job is to QUIT spending and show us that they really are doing there job… we know that they are making money hand over fist while 50% of the people are on food stamps.. they are a room full of idiots and men and women that just dont know HOW todo there jobs any more
