Newsweek's grand inquisitor (Salon debunks Fineman on Dean)

[dajabr]

When Howard Fineman asked Dean if he believes Jesus Christ is the son of God and the route to eternal life, campaign reporting reached a brand-new low.

--snip--

Dean: "I'm feeling a little more Job-like recently."

So Dean, prompted by Fineman, concedes that the withering attacks upon his candidacy have made him feel more "Job-like." Newsweek's editors, instantly misquoting him, put the following headline on top of the article:

"Dean on the heat of battle, Osama bin Laden -- and Jesus." Then, printed in type that's twice as large as the headline, the subhead: "'I'm feeling like Job.'"

Readers who merely flip past the interview will see only "I'm feeling like Job," which, taken by itself, could make Dean seem even more pompous and egocentric than Newsweek and other members of the mainstream media have already painted him to be.

3 Dean mis-quotes by the Media in a very short time. Hmmmmm.

1. Fortunately

Dean is like Jason. He can't be killed.

2. Semantics or substance

Do you think the difference is semantics or serious difference between "Job-like" and "feeling like Job".

3. But...it's Dean's mouth/anger, not the media's Bush-whoring!

Ironically, Job is my favorite book of the Bible.

4. Bull, the media is terrifed of us!

To any one who thinks that the media wants Howard Dean, I say, "You have obviously lost your freaking minds."

Dean has vowed to break up the media whores and they hate him for it. But guess what? After all of their attacks from Dean being called everything from a racist, to a coorperate whore, to a cheater, all were lies, and we still went up 2 points in the polls and managed to make a $million in one week. Dean is a fighter and we are working harder than almost any campaign in history and we will take this country back!

5. I agree. We're going to make FOX weep.

Fairness Doctrine Returns!

6. Funny about the timing of the upsurge in bias...

Right after his comments about regulating the Media on Hardball.

Hmmmm...

7. I'm clueless...could they not want Dean?
