Not that I care much — since it would be so typical of the MSM to denigrate someone over a simple error instead of addressing the substance — but Mediaite’s sources are CNN and then they promote MSNBC’s “analysis.” Think I’ll check on what Tea Party Express has to say.
Personally, I prefer to think for myself. CNN's political director Tweeted minutes after the speech was over to make sure it was clear that FNC, not CNN was pool at that event. Other outlets besides Mediaite, also pointed the finger at FNC. As I said, Fox has had almost a week to rebut it, yet not a peep from them. To me, that's telling.
Whomever it was - FNC or CNN - this isn't anyone else's fault besides Bachmann, the Tea Party Express and their media consultants. This is press event 101. They screwed it up, no one else.
