This is typical liberal media cut-and-paste-hack-journalism.

Newt said "they", and I think he's referring to ABC news. "they" weren't interested is something he has repeatedly said.

But look at how John King uses this. There are two video clips that King uses, I would like to see more of the second video beyond what King clipped and used.

Anybody know where to get it? I have a feeling that King is lying here, yet again.

Ok, I am confused.
Gingrich said witness were offered, weren’t his daughters witnesses?
So how is Gingrich’s statement witness were offered a lie?

Considering the source of the report and their source, I would consider it lies based on other lies.

The media, Fox News included, has no credibility left whatsoever.

King said on tonight's edition of John King USA. "Gingrich spokesman R.C. Hammond says the only people the Gingrich campaign offered to ABC were his two daughters from his first marriage."

This says nothing. I take it CNN and Politico believe they don't need any substance to this hit piece?

When muckrakers like John King are more interested in ex-wives from 20 years ago, more than Saul Alinsky, Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Rezko, etc, etc, we know we are in good hands.

Newt is self proclaimed genius

Just like Wile E Coyote

How'd that pan out?

Ann Coulter defended King so he must be right. :)

Sounds like an artful quote from King. Maybe the “campaign” didn’t “offer” anyone else, however the other witnesses exist and ABC knew it. Further, it seems to me Marianne’s claim was false just based on her own statements.

I think it is important to hear from Newt on this.

This is typical hack partisan journalism - interpret reality however you want, then get your story out first, like a little kid crying to his Mommy about his older brother.

This is like a jury hearing only one side of the evidence.

I don't think this is going to be a significant issue for primary voters, despite the alleged misrepresentation on Newt's part. That said, I believe this is a taste of what he will be facing if he is the Republican nominee.

The media and Obama campaign's strategy--having taken note of Newt's thin-skinned nature---- will be to keep him on constant defense against claims about his past, or inconsistencies in his statements, hoping he will have one of his mini(or worse)meltdowns. He's going to have to steel himself for that, because letting loose on his adversaries will undermine his support in a general election. I've known many voters who are unnerved by negativity in campaigns, particularly those who aren't fully committed to a particular candidate.

I want to see a statement in quotations from Newt Gingrich saying “I admit my ABC claims were false.”

He’d better clear this up, one way of another, no mealy mouthing.
Lying and credibility are at issue, not opinion.

Politico is in big financial trouble. It’s losing visitors and money.

It would be good for our side if FReepers stopped posting garbage from Politico.

It was just about sex; aren’t politicians allowed private lives? Guess only if they’re Dems.
