This is another hit piece by the MSM on a conservative, IMO.

Leave it to the Associated Press to bungle a headline.

After my interview with Newt Gingrich Monday the clear headline was the fact that Gingrich really opened up and talked extensively about how he sought God’s forgiveness over his marital discretions of the past. Yet the AP comes up with this headline:

Gingrich: Love of country contributed to affair

You’re kidding right? Oy-gevalt.

First of all, I was in the room. Gingrich was talking about how his love of country contributed to his hard-charging work ethic. That ultimately led him down a path that was not conducive to a happy family life. But to make the link from “love of country” to the “affairs” is extremely misleading. Furthermore, that isn’t even the headline to the story. How about “Gingrich Owns Up to Past Infidelity?” I have a few more but I have no desire to be an AP headline writer. Then again maybe I should.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is “Exhibit A” as to why conservatives believe the mainstream media has a liberal bias. Hard to argue after this headline.

The headline indicates that it is a direct quote. If the paper can’t produce evidence of that quote, then I’d consider this flat-out libel.

That said, I still stand by my description of Gingrich as slimy and stupid (at least in matters of his libido).

If the stress of hard work makes it impossible for him to manage his personal life, then he ought to RETIRE and GO AWAY.
