Media Matters catches Laura Ingraham in a bit of hypocrisy:
The December 5 edition of conservative pundit Laura Ingraham's newsletter attacked President Obama for recently meeting with MSNBC personalities, claiming that "if Fox News hosts and conservative personalities had stopped by the Bush White House to discuss policy" the press "would have been rightly outraged." But President Bush did meet with a group of Fox News and conservative personalities at the White House -- including Laura Ingraham....I'll just add this: Ingraham also emceed a Bush campaign rally in St. Paul, Minnesota, on August 18, 2004. From Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters:
The New York Times reported in October 2006 that Bush hosted a group of conservative personalities including Fox News contributor and frequent guest host Ingraham....
The Times article featured [a] White House photo of the meeting, showing Ingraham sitting next to Bush....
... When my fellow members of the Northern Alliance received an invitation to attend today's George Bush rally, the opportunity was too good to pass up. And I'm glad I didn't....From Bush's speech at that rally:
The Republicans presented a number of speakers, emceed by the ever-acerbic Laura Ingraham, who was in fine form tonight....
I appreciate Laura Ingraham for being the emcee of this fine event. (Applause.)Tell us more about journalistic integrity, Laura.
They must think the rest of the public is as stupid, ignorant, and gullible, as the FUX Noise audience is.
ReplyDeleteHey Laura, unlike your audience, we don't hate to rifle through the past decade's newspapers stacking in the basement to research something - we have computers, know how to use Google, and some people even pay for LexisNexis.
"The December 5 edition of conservative pundit Laura Ingraham's newsletter..."
ReplyDeleteIngraham has a newsletter?
I guess our civilization hasn't made as much progress as I'd thought.
Was it printed on a mimeograph machine?
ReplyDeleteIngraham doesn't even have a radio show now:
