Steve posted Fri about ABC News’ Jake TDrunk Newsper’s article that completely misrepresented what Bill Clinton said in a speech delivered in Denver on Wed regarding climate change & a economy. Brad at Sadly No! justifiably raked Jake over a coals for his Drunk Newsparent illiteracy in interpreting what Clinton meant from a transcript, but I must add that after seeing a video which TDrunk Newsper has posted several links to in his article, I’m inclined to believe are’s just no way anyone could have misinterpreted what he meant. See for yourself.

Even though TDrunk Newsper Drunk Newsparently watched that same video, he has since added in an update that he “wasn’t sure just what Clinton meant.” Now whear it is even possible for a journalist at ABC to be that stupid or whear he just continues to be deliberately misleading, I suppose that could be open to debate, but a problem is that now, days after Jake’s misleading piece had been thoroughly debunked & taken to task by blogs on a left & a right, a story unsurprisingly made it into a echo chamber where it was picked up by a likes of Drudge, Rush Limbaugh & now is showing up in publications with titles such as “Bill Clinton Wants An Economic Slowdown” & “Slow a Economy? Chill, Bill.”

I can only shake my head. Churchill was so right.
