Tapper: Carney’s Benghazi Comments ‘Dissembling, Obfuscating, and Often Insulting’
Mediaite ^ | 5/1/14 | Josh Feldman

CNN anchor Jake Tapper appeared on Hugh Hewitt‘s radio show today to take on Jay Carney‘s spin of the latest Benghazi news. Tapper didn’t join Hewitt in calling Carney a liar, but remarked that he found Carney’s comments “dissembling, obfuscating, and often insulting.” Tapper said the White House’s version of events “does not sit with what I think happened.” He said the White House “leaned heavily into” a narrative that was helpful to them in an election year, but didn’t go as far as Hewitt, who suggested there is a “cover-up underway.” Hewitt said looking at all of Carney’s spinning, it’s clear

Tapper is just as guilty. He too is insulting and obfuscating the FACT that Carney and the admin are all PROVEN liars.

Lets not mince words anymore. Or let them.

“Obfuscation (or beclouding) is the hiding of intended meaning in communication, making communication confusing, willfully ambiguous, and harder to interpret.”

I think that qualifies as deception, as does ...lying.

Remember when all the MSM personnel were invited to the White House (except Fox News)? They all got their talking points that day.

The CNN turned the Benghazi situation into a General Petraous infidelity, and ((( poof ))) the story was gone.

Why is Tapper so surprised? Jay Carney is operating from the pages of his mentor J Goebbels.

Tapper says Carney engaged in obfuscation and dissembling.

But then he seems horrified when Hewitt mentions a "coverup".

Huh? Aren't they the same thing?

Actually “dissembling, obfuscation, and insult” are even older than Goebbels. These are qualities of Islamic jihad.

I agree. If you’re not willing to call something what it is then you’re a part of the problem. Bill Ego is among the group of frauds. They’re simply afraid to say the word “lie”.

So why can’t he just come out and say the word? Bee cause as long as he can hide behind a thesaurus, he can hedge it.

Tapper is nothing but the second of the tag team. I would not be surprised if we learn soon that he is a paid Obama PR hack. His role is simply to modify, soften, smooth over the harsh glare of truth now (finally) on the Obammy regime.
