GOP PR's Drudge lie on Clark praising "Bush" - and Media doesn't check - ?

[papau]

Seems the fact that Clark was making a comment about Bush41 - and NOT BUSH43 - was left out of the Rush/Drudge/ comments and left out of the GOP PR sent by the GOP to the media yesterday - and it appears no reporters checked it and found it to be a lie and reported how the GOP had lied in their stop Clark attempt.

However MWO did research the actual quote - and then saw CNN/Tucker do the "repeat a GOP lie" that they - and the ret of the media - are so good at.

"Tucker Lies to Crossfire Audience
States Clark Comments Referred to "George W. Bush"
Tucker Carlson, Crossfire (9/26):

CARLSON: General Wesley Clark gave a speech in Arkansas to a Republican group in which he came out for Ronald Reagan, attacked Old Europe, and then said this, and I'm quoting now, this is about president George W. Bush: "And President George Bush had the courage and the vision...And we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship." He goes on but I don't want to torture you. Can he now claim to be a partisan Democrat with any kind of credibility?

CNN showed a graphic of the quote as Tucker read it, with ellipsis. When the same quote with the same redaction was published at the Drudge Report yesterday, MWO wondered what had been omitted, and suggested it was probably information that would prove Clark was referring to Poppy, not the Unelected Fraud.

Not surprisingly, that did turn out to be the case. Tucker Carlson told a bald-faced lie to CNN's audience - making a point to say "this is about George W. Bush" before reading the quote that contained the name of "George Bush" twice.

Here is the entire quote:
We couldn't quite believe it. I mean Desert Storm was wonderful; we whipped Saddam Hussein and all that sort of thing. But the Cold War was over, the Berlin Wall was down. And President George Bush had the courage and the vision to push our European allies to take the risk to tell the Russians to leave, and to set up the conditions so all of Germany and later many nations of Eastern Europe could become part of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, part of the West with us. And we will always be grateful to President George Bush for that tremendous leadership and statesmanship.
