What's up with MWO and Howie Kurtz?

[Warren Stuart]

The Horse has a piece on him that claims that he close to being fired for conflict of interest issues, yet the column that is referred dosn't appear to support this. He lists a link (Wonkette) that states that the horse is "below Drudge and above a ouija board".

Is this a joke?

Is there really something here or is the Horse just flogging right wing hypocrisy?

1. this is good stuff!!

"Kurtz has been tied directly to a small group of Republican operatives, including several who were instrumental as "elves" and "hate Clinton" commentators during the partisan impeachment crisis five years ago.

"He’s been pretty flagrant about it," one veteran Washington observer told MWO. "Hanging out with Barbara Comstock, Joe diGenova, and the rest of the 'Hate Clinton' crowd. I'm amazed it's taken this long, frankly, for somebody to blow the whistle."






I LOVE IT!!!!:evilgrin:

3. heh! I was just there, and was about to post those 2 paragraphs

those are KEY to what he's been up to.

remember his idiotic book, Spin Cycle, detailing the Clinton admin's attempt to control the newsflow?

WTF has he ever said about the completely Orwellian/Goebbelsian approach that THIS pushole of junta is getting away with?

2. Nice

I'm sure there are piles of horse crap that have more value than Kurtz's media "commentary".

The guy is supposed to be an analyst, but all he does is prop up Bush on every news segment I've seen him on.

4. Don't know about Wonkette

I've never heard of that blog before, but I trust the Horse. It is kinda odd, though, that MWO would point to Wonkette when Wonkette sez not to trust MWO.

But also odd is that Wonkette writes some lenghty grafs about the Kurtz story and then says 'Don't trust the Horse!' If you don't find the source of a story to be reliable, then why relate that story to others?
