Newt just called Hunter pathetic and a pygmy. I highly doubt Hunter would ever agree to be on a ticket with Newt or even allow him to shine his shoes. Newt has jumped the shark and burned way too many bridges now.
Hi,
You have two problems with your latest article on Newt.
In both the online and print story, you say he called other Republicans ‘Pathetic’ ‘pygmies.’
In no part either version do you show the quote where he even used the word ‘pathetic.’ That’s fucking sloppy. He may have used the word in the interview, but you need to give the context? Why? Because you butcher the context of the other problem:
You take the term ‘pygmies’ out of context. He wasn’t meaning it as derogatory towards the other candidates. He meant it as derogatory of the situation and it was a quote from De Gaulle.
You combine these two errors in the lead and headline, completely putting words in Newt’s mouth and taking what he was saying out of context.
I’ve read you for years. This is just plain sad. I hope this is your editor’s fault.
You need to issue a correction.
I don't support Newt and think he would be an awful president. But this reporting is pathetic. PS - I'm told that I'm a troll by some kid on this website unless I follow every criticism of another candidate by stating who I am supporting. I support Willard in 08!
