Meet the Press offers up a perfect example of "WhatAboutism" from a WSJ reporter

[TeamPooka]

Talk is about Jared's back channel and she Whatabouts on an Obama rep meeting 9 years ago.
Then throws out a new charge about Obama FISA court unmaskings.
Joy Reid starts talking about FISA warrants and the WSJ person has the NERVE to say "you aren't responding to what I said." after Whatabouting for 5 minutes previously.
Chuck Todd let it happen then went to commercial.

1. Wsj person was a piece of work, huh?!

I highly recommend watching it, AND today's AMJoy..
Joy revisited that lil interaction, & completely cleared up ANY "confusion"

She was MASTERFULL!

[eleny]

3. I lked how she made the point that O's meeting was arranged by the State Department

........... ............

[furtheradu]

5. YES! Yes, she DID!

Made that point PERFECTLY.

8. Joy was awesome but MTP is the better known more widely watched show. Whataboutism relies

on getting the lie/bullshit out first and widest while letting the truth play catch up when the cement on the lie has hardened.

2. Joy Reid talked about this on her AM Joy show

She said the story was only on Breitbart and the source for the story wasn't credible. IOW the real deal fake news.

4. She should be on daily instead of Greta. I keep writing and calling about Lawrence too.

She's SOOOOOOO good. Does she need to be blond or white? I thought that only applied to Fux News.

6. That story she told was only reported by Breitbart. It's full of shit,

Even so, it still reported things we're going through the incoming state department Sec State Hillary Clinton. NOT using a foreign enemy site.

7. ALL of the Trumpers do this, and it should be countered every time. They constantly switch to Obama

and/or Hillary, pulling the classic child's technique of saying "somebody else did it tooooo" -- "But...but...but...Hillary did this thing..." It is incredibly annoying, and it makes me scream whenever the Trumpers are allowed to get away with it.

See Jeffrey Lord on CNN for an example of the worst -- Russian Boris was also a piece of work but he's not on the Telly anymore since he works for Trump -- yet another Russian.

9. The "FISA warrant" story is getting big play on FOX. They're

really playing down Kushner/Kremlin.

10. She was a fake reporter...

...doing her best to disseminate partisan propaganda.

[TeamPooka]

11. yes she was. More of a campaign spokesman than a real reporter.
