Jay Carney And ABC’s Jake Tapper In Fiery Exchange Over Jimmy Hoffa Comments
Mediaite ^ | 9/6/11 | Tommy Christopher

Posted on 09/06/2011 2:15:42 PM PDT by Nachum

In the hours since the Jimmy Hoffa Voter Encouragement Crisis/Incendiary Rhetorapocalypse, conservative media figures have looked to the White House to provide some becalming wisdom to a shaken nation. At Tuesday’s White House briefing, ABC’s Jake Tapper asked Press Secretary Jay Carney how Hoffa’s comments fit with the President’s post-Tucson remarks in January. (Snip) Tapper began by reading President Obama’s January quote, then asked, “Did he mean that?”

From what I've read, it might not be a good idea to click on the original link, so watch and read the entire exchange here:

It seems like the MSM could be turning on 0bama and the White House!!!

“Fiery exchange”? Hardly.

More like two wimps flogging each other with strands of limp spaghetti.

Pathetic.

Doogie Howser was a 16 year old genius with a medical degree.

Carney is a sock puppet who is deliberately untruthful, deceitful, falsely misleading, mendacious, and a sham.

ABC’s Jake Tapper - an Old School Journalist - - cool.

Jake wants to know 'what is the standard'. Not 'what is the standard for the teacher's pets (dems)' or 'what is the standard for the Joos' (conservatives) - but WHAT IS THE STANDARD.

If liberals start running trains to camps for conservatives, Jake will be there interviewing the SS - holding their feet to the fire. Thanks Jake - my world feels safer today.

Tapper’s a liberal, but he’s also a real reporter. Most of the other DNC Media types are pure shill, all the way to the bone.

Jake Tapper is certainly no conservative. But unlike most in that White House press corps, he occasionally shows the guts to challenge the Obama press secretary on matters such as this which the White House would prefer not to engage in publicly. Now that Tapper has teed off Carney, it wouldn’t come as a surprise if ABC fired or reassigned him - at the White House’s behest. It is still the state-run MSM, after all.

Good for Jake. And yes, the standard has been set. Carney-man’s feebke attempt at an explanation won’t cut it.
You are right on all counts.

In twenty years (or less), Tapper will write a memoir chronicling how he became a conservative. He’s tiring of the cognitive dissonance required to be liberal.

Which, when you get right down to it, is just a polite way to say "hypocrisy."

Honestly with some of the mutually exclusive ideas they try to balance they must be taking crazy pills. I don’t know what keeps their heads from exploding.

Tapper is going to become an apostate liberal.

Well, either Jake is a subversive that has gotten by the pc media police or he does not understand that what manners and laws apply to the right do not apply to the left. Which is it?

“If this trend keeps up, by Nov 2012 they may be investigating Baraq’s past instead of Joe the Plumber’s.”

I will not hold my breath on that thought, but we can dream...

Jay Corney was born for this job. I like watching him because I know I am always going to laugh my butt off.

Thank you very much, Bikkuri.

Sorry for the late answer but had to go out.

It wasn’t a pop-up, however. It was the URL to that site.
