The Daily Caller has released a statement/quote from Neil Munro which is COMPLETELY FALSE


The statement below is FALSE - A big fat LIE


Neil Munro, White House Correspondent: “I always go to the White House prepared with questions for our president. I timed the question believing the president was closing his remarks, because naturally I have no intention of interrupting the President of the United States. I know he rarely takes questions before walking away from the podium. When I asked the question as he finished his speech, he turned his back on the many reporters, and walked away while I and at least one other reporter asked questions.

Or FOX would have been off the air years ago.


This will be the message that most will hear, I know better because of my friends here on DU, but working all day and not interested enough to check the facts, many just take what they hear.

Didn't Cantor claim that during the debt talks Obama suddenly walked out, when it was actually Cantor who did just that? And it seemed to me that Munro interrupted Obama more than once. Maybe three times?

Here is the video on the White House webpage:

The interruptions are at approximately 4:35 and 7:20.

Ever since 2000 the rightwing has treated us as though we are beyond stupid. Wonder what gave them that idea? At any rate, it's time we put a stop to it.

Wish I had the know-how to make a repeating tape of the President shutting the guy down, would make wonderful background music at phonebanks, etc. ...

YOU'VE just watched it...But this is the way it happened...They insult our intelligence now. ENOUGH. I am tired of this. The GOP owes each and every one of us an Apology for their lack of respect for WE THE PEOPLE.

If you throw enough shit at the wall eventually some of it will stick.
Don't be surprised if some right wing outhouse accuses Obama of eating babys.
Be less surprised if some of the fools in the Teaparty party believe it.

Because they want to believe it.

Adding loss of any credibility to an asinine and rude interruption makes him a bigger doofus. He'll end up apologizing.

Don't see a whole lot of daylight between Fox News and Daily Caller....both are in the tank for Rmoney. But I'd expect nothing less from a inherited wealth baby (Swanson Foods) with his frat boy, elitist schtick. He's doing what he can for the team, I certainly expect more of this sophomoric, disruptive behavior from Rmoney-Koch media proxies. Tucker, whose dad spear headed Scooter Libby's legal defense fund, will be orchestrating more of these stunts because that's giving his disinformation blog more exposure and helping solidy his reputation as a political hack.

that Barack was plenty hot under the collar at the end of the press conference and with damn good reason. If that guttersnipe had kept his mouth shut, I believe The Prez might have entertained some questions. Wish someone nearby had coldcocked Munro, but better yet to strip him and Carlson of their press credentials.
