Nobody's Opinion

Blame it on the Godfather….

Nobody Wonders

—Why FOX news downplayed this obvious overreacting of a Republican Congressman threatening to end the life of a reporter, but they did. CNN didn’t though—all they talked about today was the ice traffic jam in Georgia, and this incident. Right after it happened, he said this:

“I was extremely annoyed because I was doing NY1 a favor by rushing to do their interview first in lieu of several other requests. The reporter knew that I was in a hurry and was only there to comment on the State of the Union, but insisted on taking a disrespectful and cheap shot at the end of the interview, because I did not have time to speak off-topic. I verbally took the reporter to task and told him off, because I expect a certain level of professionalism and respect, especially when I go out of my way to do that reporter a favor. I doubt that I am the first Member of Congress to tell off a reporter, and I am sure I won’t be the last,” read the statement.

Nobody Wonders if this is the new norm: our elected power-inflated officials just have an overwhelming desire to pick up reporters and throw them off tall buildings and watch them splat.

Good thing there was a camera there.

This clearly was New York Union thug-like behavior towards a reporter. But then again, Obama had Larry Connors, a well established newsman here in St. Louis, fired after he interviewed Obama and later said that he was audited.

I’m so glad he didn’t have him thrown him off a 4-story building.
