No, he knew darn well whom he was quoting. But if he had sai, “Byron York” then he would have been guilty of putting words into York’s mouth, since the quoted words were written by York as a summary of what the media was saying. Griffin knew that he did not dare attribute the prima facie meaning to York because he knew that York did not agree with what Griffin had just quoted. So he stammered. He couldn’t say, “that’s what other people are quoted as saying about you” because then his gotcha trap would be ruined.
I’m sorry, I don’t care what good he might have done reporting on Obama-Ayers or Obama-Acorn. What he did was filthy evil. And he has not apologized. He deserves things I cannot put in words here. This man is beneath contempt.
I agree wholeheartedly with your post.
