MEDIA MISREPORTING BOEHNER'S FAST & FURIOUS STANCE

Mary Chastain

Once again the media is reporting supposed facts about Speaker John Boehner without actually confirming them. This time Fox News’s William La Jeunesse states Speaker Boehner is putting pressure on Chairman Darrell Issa to drop contempt charges against Attorney General Eric Holder in relation to the ongoing investigation of Operation Fast and Furious. 

This is not true. Speaker Boehner’s spokesman Michael Steel confirmed it for me once again.

“The Speaker supports Chairman Issa’s efforts to hold the Department of Justice accountable,” Mr. Steel wrote in an email.

Over and over the media has used anonymous sources for this story instead of actually confirming anything with Speaker Boehner’s office.

Many times Speaker Boehner has professed his support for Chairman Issa. On May 10 he said all options

It was during that time that I determined that our primary problem was not the politicians, it was the MSM.

For at least a decade, I've been arguing the following...

The USA is simultaneously confronting three enemies:

1. Islamo-fascist terrorists.

2. The radical socialists in the Democrat party.

3. The radical socialists in the MSM.

And, of these, the most dangerous is the latter. For, without the support of the MSM, the other two would've been defeated years ago.

Just throwing this out there, but is there some reason that the Republican base has not 'created' a website to look like a news station, somewhere you would be able to watch 'fair and balanced' news stories from the conservative point of view?

I have not really seen any of this on any site out there now, but it would probably behoove us to have a place where you could funnel conservative people, to watch stories on the happenings of the day, without the BS of the MSM getting involved in chopping up stories.

Think about being able to see a full response from John Boehner on any sort of mischief that the Dimmichrats are pushing out through the MSM.

Nothing irritates me more than watching some talking head nodding along while a Dimmi spews out their drivel, and the the talking head gives a 'highlight' of what the retort was from the Pubbie side, more often than not ignoring any of the actual content that was said.

Such BS..
